My heart goes out to Christine and your family. I´m still in disbelief at this time I´m very sad. Our last conversation was about the passing of your Dad and his life.
As I look back I´m glad I said Thank You. Even though I wasn´t thinking that would be our last. As I know Tomorrow isn´t Promised. Now I´m thanking God.
As I navigate my sadness I´m holding onto kindness, love and family bonds we shared.
The memories of you will forever inspire and uplift us. May Christine and your family be surrounded by love, comfort and strength as they begin this new journey. May they find peace and joy in the memories they shared with you. Childhood memories, family, gathering and your generous spirit will illuminate our path to healing and peace as we go through this difficult time.

RIH cousin, I'm so happy. We were able to talk a few days before you passed on. You were talking to me about your father's passing and that you wished. I had been able to be there and we had like little laugh and cousin. I'm gonna miss talking to you over Facebook and you keep me up on the family. Rest on job well done.

Although we just met at Your Father's memorial (your twin) I felt like we have been friends for along time, because of your beautiful Spirit. Claude, you are greatly missed by all who knew you especially your beautiful wife whom you gave Honor & Praise to for caring for your dad. The bible says a man who finds a wife, finds a good thing & have favor with God! May the favor of God give your soul rest & your lovely wife comfort.
Peace my friend,
