Jane, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your son. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Lydia

My heart goes out to you – I am sure you miss Chris deeply. He was such a wonderful person – so friendly, light hearted and caring. He was in the first class I taught at Baxter, and I have such good memories from that year. I also was pleased to ‘bump into ‘ him in Falmouth a few times in more recent years. I remember how loving and supportive all of you were to Chris, and how much that meant to him. Sending you my deepest condolences and love, Judy Segal (formerly Judy Sheppard)

Chris and I were in the same congregation in the 90’s. He was really good guy with a great sense of humor. Together, we volunteered on several projects, and he was a great help. I can still picture him telling a joke in sign. I’ve since Suggested (to whomever might listen) that high schools offer ASL, as well as Spanish or French. My hope to be able to see him again, when the deaf will hear and the blind will see. My sincere condolences to his family. Mike Rawding.

Chris brought a special light to the Woodlands club. He was liked by all and made so many people smile. It was hard for us all to see him battling this horrible disease and truly prayed for it to have been easier for him. He was an incredible trooper and just wanted to be with his friends at work. We have all been blessed to have known him and be a part of his life. God bless him. Sending lots of love to his family

Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies. Our thoughts are with Chris and your entire family during this difficult time.

Fred, Jane and Heidi, my heart hurts so much for you. I remember him coming to our door and asking if Eric and Chris could come out to play. I also remember the stories Jane told of Christopher running away from her and him laughing because he knew she was yelling at him but he couldn’t hear her. I know I can’t begin to imagine the pain you are in, but please know that I am thinking of you and that I care.
