"On the sands of life sorrow treads heavily, and leaves a print time cannot wash away."

I didn't know Christopher but I lost a son when he was 16 and I always feel such sorrow for anyone who is beginning the journey I've been traveling for the past fifteen years. My thoughts and prayers are with Christopher's entire family and most especially his mother, father and siblings. I'm so sorry for the loss of your precious son and brother.
