Lana,
Although I did not know Chris well, I have become close to you over the past year and I know how strong your love for each other was. You will always have him in your heart. We cannot always understand why things happen as they do, but just know he will still be there for you in other ways. There will be times when you will feel his presence with you. Cherish the memories. My prayers are with you and your precious children as you go through this difficult time.
