I first met Chris in 1st grade at Wyoming Area Catholic. My memories of him have always been fond. Always a smile. Always laughing. Always joking around. He had a joyful heart and spirit. My husband always tells me, when someone passes away and you don't talk about them or share the experiences you had with them with others, they die twice. I know without a doubt that Chris has so many who love him with a insurmountable amount of memories, he will never die again. He will be kept alive forever in your hearts and in your voices. Although no words can ease the loss that you feel, please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. W…
