To the family of Chris: My mother called to inform me of Chris' passing and I want you to know how very sorry I am to hear of your loss. Chris was a very special friend of mine during our high school years. He and I shared a love of musicals. He was convinced that he could pull off staging a full-blown theatrical performance of "Showboat" at H.W. Schroeder High School, with me starring as Magnolia! I loved his enthusiasm and his wonderful creativity. I always knew he was destined for greatness in NYC. I will always hold Chris in my heart. Again, I am sorry for your loss.

Tracey,
I'm so sorry about Chris, and about your sister last year. My heart has been with you more than you know. You were always a special friend to me in high school, and I just want you to know that you're remembered, and that there are very heart-felt thoughts and prayers with you. May God be especially close these days, and give you His comfort, understanding and peace for always.
