John & Deb,
I just heard about Chris’ passing yesterday. I am so sorry for your loss. I have wonderful memories of coaching him in baseball many years ago. May you find peace in this difficult time.
I was just hiking on Carter Trail and saw your son’s cross on the trail. We said a prayer in his honor and took in the beauty surrounding his spirit. May you and your family know peace. ?
Thank you ?
