So sorry to hear of Chris passing. He was a fun guy and great to work with. My thoughts and prayers to the family for your loss - he touched many lives during his time at Sentara (and the old HGH).

Adam and Diane, I hold you in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. I have been through the loss of one parent and the near loss of the other. My prayer for you is that you know the grace of God to uphold and strengthen you and the loving arms of God to embrace you, and that precious memories of your loved one to bring you joy when days are sad. Blessings, grace and peace.
