Dear Christopher,
You were a person that I will never forget. I loved coming into work and you yelling my name out, or saying some random comment about how I had looked. You spoke your mind, you were an extra ear, and you were an extremely caring person.
I cannot believe you are gone, you shouldn't be gone you should be here with everyone! I walked into the kitchen today and I just pictured what you would be saying or sitting and you weren't there. You are gone, and that is not fair. Love you, and miss you!
My prayers are with the family and his special friend Kristin.
