My deepest sympathy and prayers to you dear ones. Bro. Chris was such a kind Bro. I am so sorry I cannot come to the visitation and funeral to express my sympathy in person since I'm at Mayo's right now, but I want you to know I'm praying for you, and will continue to do so in the days and weeks ahead. May you feel the Lord's comfort and nearness.
Love, Char Dietz
