Melinda, I was so saddened to hear of Chris's sudden passing. He was not only an exceptional boss but a truly good person. He made a lasting impact on all of us who had the privilege of working with him. He spoke often of you and Cayden. It was obvious how much he deeply loved you both and how important you were to him. I feel very fortunate to have known him. Please know that you are in my thoughts during this incredibly difficult time. May God hold you close and grant you strength and comfort in the days ahead. With deepest sympathy, Lynn Pettit
