I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my brother a year ago and my father 13 years ago and it has been rough. I slowly get better and better everyday though. I hope you all will be able to find some peace very soon.

Dear Lane and Maggie,
My heart is heavy for you at this tragic loss of Chris. Jeff and I are praying for you that you will find peace that comes from your great faith in Jesus Christ. I can still see Chris in my mind's eye as one of my Cub Scouts out at Eagle River Scout Camp. He will be missed by many. We love you.
