Lore and family;

It was a shock to hear that a great worker and friend Chip is in the hands of the Lord to continue his work with the Lord. We have all lost a friend and what a friend he was. He put my rug down here in Eaglewood and did a great job. He was always talking about his great family and his Mother-in-law. What a great son-in-law he was to open his home up to your Mom. Gillian is like a granddaughter to me because she and Caitlin are togeather so much and I hope this friendship they have continues all their lives. You are a young widow and I know it's very hard now but with all your friends to help you through this time I know you will make it.

May God watch over you and your family, all the days of your lifes and you will find happiness with your children close by you.

I am here just a phone call away as Kathie and Andy are.

My best to you.

Catilin Shermans Nana.

Dear Lori and family, Our World is a better place for having had Chip in it. Just saying his name brings a smile. Although, he was not here for as long as he should have been, may you find peace in your memories. Our thoughts are with you and your family.

Christine Sossi and Family.
