Sandy, my deepest sympathies on the lost of your beloved son. Jim and I were out of town and I could not attend the funeral.
It seems Chase was a very talented young man and accomplished so much in his short time on this earth. You should be very proud.

I hadn't spoken to Chase in years, but I remember one time when we were maybe 11 or 12 I went to this office building with him, I think it was his mom's job and we wondered around talking about what we wanted to do when we grow up and it's nice to see so many of the things he said he wanted then he managed to achieve in his short time on this planet. I also remember him forcing me to drink a warm mountain dew insisting it was so much better that way. I am very sorry for his family's loss. He really was something special.
