I still remember the day we met. You were so kind and thoughtful. Very attentive to meeting me. I often wonder what would have been if I had stayed there with you. I think of you often. My life took me in a different direction. But I have never had you out of my mind. When I learned of your tragic accident that day a friend called to tell me. My knees nickeled and I fell to think how could this possibly happen to such a sweet man. I wanted to attend your funeral but decided best to not. Chris you will forever hold a place within me and I pray you are watching over me. Thankyou for you❤️
