Mike & Barb,

We grieve with you at the loss of Chris. We have such joyful memories of his high spirit, fun-loving nature and his dedication to his belief in Christ!



We remember one specific occasion when we had such fun taking Chris, Jenny and Stephan to Six Flags. Chris literally ran in glee from one exhilarating experience to another! It was fun just to be with him. That's how we will remember Chris and that's how we will find him again someday.



You are in our prayers.
