I am so sorry for your loss. There are no words to express my saddness. Three days from now will be 1 year my dad has passed. I remember my dad always had a special place in his heart for Chris. Chris would come over & dad would let him "surf the internet".He was a buddy to my dad. Now Chris & dad are both together. Sending each of you special hugs.
