We know that the only thing that is going to get you through this is God's love. Please know that you are in our constant prayers.

God be with you all, Love Barbara

Our deepest sympathy is with your family. Chris was a wonderful man, always friendly, and willing to do whatever he could to help someone. He became friends with many of us here at D&M and he will be greatly missed. He was a man who loved his family, and talked about them constantly. He was always finding a way to make us laugh. We will cherish our memories we had with him, and to his wife, children, and family we are praying for you, and we pray that the God of all peace and comfort will wrap you tightly in his arms.

Chris was one of the nicest guys that I went to school with. Just an all around good guy. I remember he was voted best dressed our senior year and it was true, he always looked nice. When he moved here in first grade all the girls were crazy about him. He was so cute! I haven't really talked to him much in the last few years, only when I'd see him out and about, but I will miss him. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and I hope you find peace amidst all the sorrow.
