Tony and family,
Our deepest sympathies and prayer go out to you and your family. Chris was a wonderful girl. I still remember you both coming to Ohio and the 4 of us painting my living room and dining room. We painted all night long and laughed and laughed until we fell asleep on the floor.

God bless you all
