To the King and Clark family. Please accept our deepest condolences on the passing of Chris. I'm still in shock and cannot begin to feel your sadness. Clark family, I don't know if you remember I spent most of my high school years at your house. Chris and I were best friends and you treated me like family. I remember the big "watch" clock on your dining room wall. I treasure those precious memories. I wish I'd had the pleasure of meeting Tara and Kaci. Terry told me they are strong like their Mom. Please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers. I can barely think of anything else. Dave and I are wintering in Florida and unfortunately will not be able to attend Chris's celebration of life on March 7.know I'll be with you all with my heart. May the good Lord comfort you all during this difficult time. Love, Cris Brink Watson.
