Peggy,
I don't know if you remember me, but I use to drop my son Chadwick off at your house in the mornings for you to take to Risen Christ School. I am so sorry to hear about Chris. My heart goes out to you and your family. I pray that God will help you through this terrible loss in your life. What a tragedy to lose a child. Again, I will be praying for God to give you the strength to go through this.

I am so sorry for your loss. Chris was a fine young man and proud of what he had been able to accomplish so far. He was a student in my film history class this summer. I will miss him; his fellow students will also miss him. My thoughts are with you.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Chris was a student in my politics class last Fall. I don't think I have ever seen a student who worked as hard as Chris. If he didn't understand something, he would come to my office and discuss it with me until he had it down. His perserverance and determination were amazing. Peace be with you all.

I only had the opportunity to speak to Chris a couple of times when he showed up at WPM to see Alexis. He seemed like such a wonderful person. I remember one time it was raining and Alexis and I were outside doing bus duty. Chris, seeing that I didn't have a coat, quickly offered me his. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Alexis, please let me know if I can do anything.

My prayers are with the Workman family during this time. Chris was always a great friend of mine for many years. I remember some great times with Chris at Risen Christ Lutheran when we were very young. We had fun camping out at Chris' house with Mitchell, Tonio, John, Trent, and Chad. I will miss him and I know that he was a believer and we will see him in Heaven again one day. God bless you Peggy and Ray.
