Christopher has the most perfect mother. Much of who he is is attributable to his mother's example of her loving care, kindnesses to others, continued support, encouragement and a hundred other admirable qualities. I'm not at all surprised to learn that Chris was such an amazing young man. May he rest in peace. You have my deepest sympathy, Belinda. I love you very much.

Chris was a precious child. He went to school with my son from kindergarten through high school. I will always remember the love his family had for each other. Chris always had a sweet smile on his face. All the students liked him alot because he was mischievious and fun to be around. There are no words that can take away your grief. Just remember there is no sorrow or problem that is greater than God's amazing grace. There is a reason and season for everything and only God knows why tragedies like this happen. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Chris's family,
Chris was one of the most uplifting, positive people I've ever had the honor of knowing, and I do truly feel honored having known him. He will be missed and his memory will live on. Someone once told me that you can never buy time, so you must spend every last second of it. Chris spent his life enriching the lives of others. In the end, that's the most we can hope to achieve. You have my sincere condolences.
