Ms. Corkey and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Please find peace in knowing he is now in peace. We sure do not why family members have to go so young, but God's will be done.
I hope you and all the family remember that you will always, always, have your memories.

Sorry to hear about Chris. I remember all the class reunions at his house. He always wanted everyone to have a great time and we did. He will be missed and I know that he is looking after all those animals in heaven. Know that you are all in our prayers during this hard time. We are as close as the phone if there is anything we can do
