To the Family of Chris Lewis

My deepest sympathy goes out to Chris's family, friends, and loved ones. I had only been in Chris's company a couple of times over his lifetime but I remember his quiet and kind spirit. Chris is my first cousin on my father's (Edward Lewis) side. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Find comfort in the memories of your loved one and know that he is resting safely in the arms of our Heavenly Father.

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6

Though I didn't know Chris very well,(He seemed quite shy to me)he was always a gentleman in the truest sense of the word. Holding a door for me, helping me get all my stuff on the elevator, well groomed and kind. You were here such a short time, but, I know you are TRULY at peace with God now.

Chris was a wonderful man.
His heart was big enough to fit the
whole world. Chris and I watched movies togther;talked about God,
and right and wrong. God gave Chris wisdom of the heart. Chris made you understand what was truly important in life. Chris said "It's what's IN your heart." Chris I'm not ready to say goodbye to you. Friends always, Chris! I know your walking with Christ.
