Sue, Katie and family,
Please know that Chris' life matters and his story will be used for a greater good. You all were such a source of strength and hope for him and others, too. I was able to meet Chris at Northway in Dormont and so glad I had the opportunity to meet him. Sue, you have been such an inspiration to so many people who are going through a similar situation. May you all know that the love of our Lord s hands are big enough to welcome Chris in to his Kingsom and still hold you all and comfort you, all at the same time.
