The loss of a love one is so hard to face,
you just want to hide,
go some where and escape!
But death is something,
we all must go through,
I know it’s hard,
when it’s someone you loved and knew.
Just know now,
he is in a better place,
no more hurt or pain shall he face.
It seems unfair and yes this is true,
but he is in Heaven now
watching over you!
Sorry for you loss

I had the pleasure of working with Chris on a program working with youth a short time ago. During that time, Chris instilled a positive work ethic and compassion into these kids that I haven't seen in my 20 years working with youth. Chris didn't just teach those kids about construction, but more importantly, taught them and me about life!!!
