I enjoyed working with Chris so much. He was always so helpful and so very kind. May God give you strength as you walk thru this most difficult time. So very sorry for your loss. He was truly a great person.
Rest in peace Chris. I know all you boys are up there having a good time. Give my hubby a hug for me. Thank you for loving my children so much. Thank you for giving them so many great memories. You are so loved still and always will be.
And thank you for being there when I lost Creek. I know you tried to help me. We look forward to the day we get to see you again.
RIP MY FRIEND.
