My thoughts & prayers to all of Christopher's family, especially to his Mother. I enjoyed, Christopher very much in his CNA class as I was one of his instructors. He could always make people laugh. It was such a shock to hear of his passing.

I added one on the funeral home site a couple days ago. This is so sad. To my wonderful Aunt Bernadette and my 11 Sharkey cousins, my heart broke hearing about Christopher. With so many kids, cousins I think we all spent the 70s and 80s going to First Communions, Confirmations ,Birthdays, Graduations and Weddings. So many great memories. RIP dear Christopher
