    I’ve known Chris for almost 6 years, felt like I knew her my entire lift since the first time we met when David introduced us. I will miss you and our long talks, holidays together, lots of laughs and couple beers we shared.
    May you Rest In Peace and Fly High with your Honey and keep an eye us.

    I promise to take care of David.
    Love you,
    Kristine Tobin
