We remember a beautiful summer day at Miliken Park years ago with the kids all having fun at the beach. It was a perfect day and we were able to get to know Kris better. We often encountered Kris out in the woods of our subdivision where he loved to be. God never promised that our lives will be free from pain and sorrow, but he promised he will help us and bring us strength and peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Don, Nancy, Courtney and Kim Irish.

We are so sorry to hear about your son. There are no words to make it all better. All we have is God's promise that we will see those we love again some day. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Paul.

You bear them, you raise them, you love them, but when it comes down to it, they are themselves, and they walk they're own paths. We loved Kris, too. And we grieve with you. Please accept our deepest sympathy. The Dan Brodersen Family

To say goodbye's impossible forever,
And yet we must too soon exchange goodbyes.
No magnitude of love when someone dies
Can manage the immensity of never.
Yet even death cannot our friendship sever
Though you may rest somewhere beyond our sighs
And all the talk of afterlife be lies.
Eternity is our brief glimpse of ever.
Even as each breeze must alter time
And each unruly rock reshape the sea,
So love lasts beyond our consciousness.
Each pulse of life's a piece of the sublime,
A breath so full of grace it cannot be,
A wave that ripples endlessly through darkness.
*My deepest sympathy to the family.*
