I remember baby sitting you as a toddler. You didn't like your mom leaving to attend a function and you cried and cried until you got sick. Only your big sister Shelby could comfort you. Over the years we got to see you at several functions; Bill and Kerris' wedding, our wedding and Tony and Alis' wedding in Texas; the North West crew had arrived! So glad that Zach and I could be at your 40th. It was apparent that you had a lot of friends who loved you dearly. I was proud when you graduated with your batchelors degree in your early 40's just as I had done. This created another party which was held as a special event combined with Zach graduating university and Shelby turning 50. I have memories of fun times over the years when your siblings Bill and Shelby and I were in town and they would invite me along. My deepest condolences go out to your mom Elaine. I am so sorry for your loss. And for all of the families loss. Chris, you loved playing guitar and I know that you are up there entertaining all those who passed on before you. You left way too soon. Rest in peace nephew. Love, Aunt Wilma and Uncle Doug
