May God comfort you as you go through the Valley of the Shadow of Death. We did not know Chris, but we've lost sons in the prime of their life, so we can share in your sorrow.
Chris will not be forgotten by friends and the memory of many good times can be shared between you as time heals your pain.
It may not seem likely, but in the future memories of the good times with Chris will come as often as the pain of loss .
