Jackie, Ellen, Jess, and Miss Linda, My heart aches, can't imagine a Mother have to go through a very sad situation. I'm asking God to give you all the strength, and guidance to get through this together. Chris was the sweetest, kind hearted person anyone could ask for. He was just so humble. May God Bless you all. Remember your in my thoughts and prayers always. Becky F.
