Darden, Denise and Family,

I was very sad to hear this news. Please know that even though I'm not technically family since Chris' passing, I've always considered his family, my family for all these long years. Aunt Jackie was a darling, and I know she will be missed. However, Chris will have another loved one to keep him company.
