I am deeply sorry for the loss of your son and want you to know that your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Although I wasn't Chris's best friend I did have the pleasure of knowing him and being graced by his presence. His ability to make people laugh will live on forever and his smile will never be forgotten. May God be with you and your family at this time.

May God hold you in his hand and be with you in this time of need.

Karen, I just happened to read the paper and realized this was your precious child. I know there are no words to console and right now knowing you will be with him one day forever will have to do. If I don't get it to you, pick up a copy of Heaven by Randy Alcorn, barnes and noble has it. It will give you a clear picture where your child is now with your sweet Daddy. I have not seen you i think since that day at the Alahambra playground but your sweet sister has been a big help and encouragement to me. I love you and you are in my prayers. I did not know your little one was at first baptist. we are in the directory. anytime you need anything, even if you need a short get away come to johns island and just sit on our dock. Love and Prayers, alice furman hills
