Vicki, Rod and Lee,
I am so sorry for your loss. Kris was a wonderful young man and I will always remember him frm our family reunions. He is with Lane, Uncle Red, my momma and Aunt Wilma. When we think about it we would never wish them back as they are in the presence of God and His Holy Son Jesus Christ. And while part of our family is reunited in heaven, we can look forward to the day when we are all together again!
