Condolences

I lived next door to Chris & his family for over 20 years. I used to baby sit him & change his diaper. He had the prettiest blue eyes. I know his one son looks just like him. When you look at Cole you will always see Chris. R.I.P. Chris. Do some catching up with your brother & Dad. We will miss you. My heart & prayers to Cindy this has got to be the hardest thing any parent goes thru & to have to do it twice. I love ya Cindy. Hang in there. Sending lots of prayers.

I did not know Chris well, we were neighbors in Christiana for a short time until I moved. This young man saw me sitting on the porch one day and came over and introduced himself and talked about his life in the Navy, Going to School in Lancaster, buying his house, his family. All he knew about me was that I was the old guy sitting on the porch with a cane, he told me if I ever needed help with anything to let him know. I told my wife that he was one of the nicest young guys.  He was really proud of that new truck he got. I had several conversations with him while living there, I always liked talking to him and was very sad, and shocked to see his obituary this morning. Praying for his family during this difficult time.

You have my deepest sympathy for your loss and my heart goes out to your entire family. One day death will be undone and you will embrace Chris again under better conditions. Acts 24:15 & Psalms 37:11,29. I hope these words will bring you a measure of comfort. Wishing you peace at this time.

I knew him throughout high school, he was a good person and always funny. He will surely be missed. My family sends their prayers for you and your family at this tragic time.

I wish to convey my sincerest condolence to your entire family. It breaks our hearts when death separates us from the ones we love so much especially when they are as young as Christopher. At times like these, "God is near to those who are broken at heart; And those crushed in spirit he saves." (Psalm 34:18) I hope this will bring you a measure of comfort.
