Kelley & David,
Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. I remember so many fabulous times with him. Everything from making sushi, going to Dancing with the Stars, to our favorite... endless shrimp at Red Lobster, I will always remember the joy he brought into my life. Remembering your dad today and always.

I met Chris through Penney, his wife and my college friend. Their relationship was a beautiful gift to their children, to their friends, and to their parishioners. Chris, as well as Penney, will be remembered with love.
