To the Larkin Family, I am so sad to hear of Chris's passing. When he didnt show up for his apt this morning, I was praying he forgot, but he never did forget about his appointments. I will miss our conversations and he cherished his family. I looked forward to seeing him once a month and on occasion I would stop by the house, especially after the passing of your mother and sister. He is with them now. Chris was one of the kindess gentleman I had ever met, I will miss that irish voice and his kind tone. Sincerely, Linda Melville (Beaches Salon/Embellishments).
