Christopher, I'm thankful for the good, loving, and supportive times you gave to Rachel in such a short period of time. Even though we had our share of arguments and disagreements, I am thankful for the true, heart to heart conversations we shared over the years. I loved the way you and Rachel would make each other laugh. I loved the way me and Rachel would laugh about something you said or did and how you would join in too. I loved how we could all three be together and just enjoy ourselves - whether it was hiking, canoeing, having dinner, or simply sitting in house. You and Rachel had so much to live for. I miss you both everyday.

John and Frances, Craig and I were so sorry to hear about the loss of your son and his wife. The pictures that someone shared online were lovely and showed how much they loved each other and enjoyed life. I know that only the promise and assurance that we have in Jesus will give you comfort in the days to come. Our prayers are with you and your family.
