Dear Sue, No words can make things right when you are going through what your dealing with. That being said, just reading the condolences convinces me that you raised Christopher the way I remember the positive energy your family brought with you when you moved into town in the early 1980's when our families first met.
Love you all from the bottom of my heart.

To the family of Chris. I am so sorry for your tremendous loss. Chris spent a lot of time in our home. He was close friends with my son Ray, who passed away in 2011. I will remember Chris as being soft spoken. He was always very respectful. I remember him for having a very sweet soul. Most of all when I think of Chris it will be with a smile. I share your pain. Bless you all.
