Chris Parker - May 17, 1974 - April 27, 2009

As I've been talking to people about Chris, I have found that they all felt the same way about him. He was the person everyone went out of their way to talk to; the day wasn't complete until you got to see him or laugh with him or hear him tell a story about one of his daughters.

I am so glad I had the chance to tell him what he meant to me.

Unfortunately, it took his death to make me realize some important life lessons: tell the people you care about how much you love them, always make time for them, and never put off any kindness because of the fear of vulnerability.

Thank you, Father, for the joy you brought to us each day through Chris!
