It was thru my husband that I was introduced to Chris and over the years became like family to us. I honestly think Chris and Jason talked on the phone more times a day than he did his wife (me). Lol

On behalf of my son's and husband we will miss Chris very much. God Be with your soul and you find peace. We love you Chris. Thank you for being part of our life. Until we meet again.
