Dear Bob and family,

We were all so sad to hear about your son Christopher. You are in our thoughts and our prayers. Knowing you and your kindness and sense of humour, we can only assume, not having personally met Christopher, that he was just like his Dad.
Our thoughts are with you.

Aux parents et à la petite soeur de Christopher,
Nous sommes voisins sans nous connaître. Je voyais grandir Christopher avec sa santé vacillante et je trouvais sa soeur extraordinaire de l'encourager et de rire avec lui. Quand j'ai appris son décès, j'ai été profondément chagriné. Je ne sais quoi vous dire sinon de trouver le courage de comprendre et de passer au travers cette douloureuse épreuve. Nous ferons un don à la mémoire de Christopher, ce grand voisin extraordinaire que j'entends encore rire.

Anita, Bob, & Laura,



I am deeply saddened to hear of Christopher's passing. He was always so upbeat and optomistic looking forward to the next adventure, I remember when he turned 16 and got his driving learner's permit, how thrilled he was. My life was enriched by meeting him. Your good memories and his kind spirit will be with you always.

Good bye my good friend, you will be sadly missed by all of us. Your courage in facing this battle has been at the very least inspirational. Any problems one faces are put into perspective with what you did and the dignity you did it with. Very few people one meets in life will affect you for a lifetime the way you have, I thank you for being the man you became in the short time you had to do it. I’ll love you always,
