Extending deepest sympathy, Tina, to you and your family in the loss of Christopher. We are not to question why, but celebrate the life he lived and those he touched. Although I never met your son, if he was anything like his mother, he was a gem for certain. God has a purpose and a plan in all things for HIS glory. Although for those grieving, it is so very hard to understand. I'm lifting you and your family up to our Father to give you comfort and strength in the days, weeks, and months ahead. Much love to you.
