Five years I've known you and it seems such a short span of time now. I'd give anything for five more. I know you loved the turnout yesterday, a packed house is what you love! All those people, and so many more, who loved and cared for you so much. You held your friends close to your heart; anyone that was lucky enough to call you friend knew they had a fantastic guy in their corner that cared about them. We all know you will be perched on our shoulders and in our hearts and continue to look out for us and help guide us in life. I will miss you my friend. Your music, your smile, the sound of your voice, and you. Now your spirit can travel to all those places you wanted to see, but your heart and soul will be in Middleburg and with all of us. Godspeed Chris...tell Mom and Niall I said hi!
