Chris and family ~ Chris, as an old school chum of yours I couldn't let today pass without extending my sympathy in the loss of your mother. I always knew your mom as "Jean" and remember her fondly. May it comfort you to know I am caring for you and your family through prayer today, and in days upcoming.
God bless ~
