My heart goes out to you because not long ago I lost my cousin, Robert De Herrera, this summer June 27 2010. I am sorry for your loss, and I only hope that one day, just like I hope, you will see him again in the clouds.

My condolences to Chris' family. It's tragic when life is taken before it even gets started, I am truly at a loss for words at this moment. Chris was always very quiet but also very polite and willing to listen to advice given to him. He will forever be in my prayers as will his family to. Rest now Chris. God Bless you.
