I know you may not remember me but Chris and I were best friends in high school. We went to formal together and we spent all of our spare time together while I was up there. I just heard of his death and I can not describe how heart broken I am. Chris was the best friend I've had in my entire life and there is no one who could ever replace him. I haven't been able to grieve and I am not sure why. Maybe it is because I do not want to accept the fact that he is gone. I dont know but every time I think of him now I realize that I am never going to see him again. I am so sorry he left you, but I feel as though he left me as well. I do not know if you ever knew how close we were but I would like you to know Chris meant the world to me. I was never closer to anyone than I was with him. I miss him so much. I am sorry for taking up so much of your time. I just wanted you to know. Thank you. Sincerely, Candye Williams

Dear Daryl, Beth, Ryan,

Our hearts are throbbing with you and we feel that a part of us has been snatched from us as well. Let me encourage you to have regular recourse to the "patience and comfort of the Scriptures" (Rom. 15:4). "Now our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work" (II Thess. 2:16-17). Sincerely,

Lynne Pompetti (Horban)

Mr and Mrs Anderson

I was so very sorry to learn of Chris's death. My daughter, Alessandra Horban and he were great friends, and I know she is very grief stricken. She is planning to attend his service.

He was a frequent visitor to our home and attended many special events. He was always great fun to talk to and very respectful.

Please accept my words of sympathy and prayers for you and your family.
