Chris Thornton Memoriam

In Loving Memory of Chris M. Thornton December 18, 1953 - April 18,2004 Our best friend, we recall the times we had are still hanging on the wall. We wouldnt trade them for gold because they laugh us and they cry us and somehow sanctify us. And theyre woven in the stories we have told and will tell again. The love and the laughter will live on long after all of the sadness and the tears. Well meet again, our best friend. We love you and miss you. Love Marie, Chris & Nikki

Mr. Thornton was a wonderful guy who was always quick with a smile. I'll never forget him making chicken cordon bleu for Bear, and to this day I still make sure to stay off the lawn!

Love to you all...may the wonderful memories of Chris continue to fill your hearts with joy, and bring to you all a renewed energy with each passing year. We remember his great sense of humor and ease in which he embraced life. It was a pleasure to know him...we miss our soccer game chats!
