Samantha and Taylor, my heart aches for you. So glad you have each other to lean on. The first time I met Chris he was probably 3-4 years old. He peaked around the refrigerator door with the biggest milk smile I´d ever seen. Fell in love with him immediately.
I hope both of you are okay.
Love, Aunt Patti

I only met Chris last September. Chris , Martin Deaton ( RFD) and myself were taking classes to be CPR instructors. He looked forward to a time he could retire . I told him he was way too young. You never know what the day may bring. My deepest condolences to his family for a life ended much too soon.
