Chris touched many people while he was here. He is one of the few people that will always have a place in my heart. So to Chris: I miss and love you. Thanks for everything you gave to everyone…you will never be forgotten. It’s sad to think that God could let someone this young die…you had a lot going for you…although you may not have ever realized it. I will pray for your well-being wherever you are. I’m not sure what happens when you die since I’ve never went through it, but if anyone can handle it, you can.Though others may never have had a friendship with you, andyou may not really mean anything to them, you’re awesome…they missed out on a great person. I’m lucky to have met you.
I have gone to school with Chris since first grade, he was a grest person and I will miss him alot. My thoughts are with Chris’s family.
Love Shannon Bailey
