Chris, words can't express the sadness I feel right now. We may not have been in touch all the time but everytime we saw each other it was as though we had not been apart. I will miss your wonderful sense of humor and your warmth. Your passing leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. You will remain forever in my heart.
