I am so sorry for your loss. I really have no words. I never met Chris in person but accidentally posted something to his Facebook page (I thought I was posting to my Niece's page - Claudia Reese). He posted back and we chatted a few times. He sent me a friend request which was cool of him and we talked a few times. Wish we could have met. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends.

I love you miss you little brother! I look forward to all the conversations that we are going to have before I leave for work and after I get home. Thank you for the tears on the windshield yesterday. Claudia and I were not sure where the drops were coming from since it was a beautiful clear day and the only thing above the car was a leafless tree. We knew it was you.

Chris,
I remember when you were only big enough to ride your Big Wheel but it was broken that day and I gave you a ride on my ten speed. We took a pretty good fall and before we hit, I wrapped my arms around you to protect you. I did. I wish I could have again. I'll miss ya son, but I'll see you again. I love you Chris. Dad
