I wanted to re-cap what Father Charles said so eloquently about Chris during his homily. It's not a direct quote...just what I can remember from that day.
Father Charles told a story about Chris from when Father Charles, Chris and several others went hiking on the Appalachain Trail for a day or two. He said Chris would be hiking with the group and then pass them and be the first to see the beautiful scenery along the trail. Father Charles said he knew Chris had reached a great view by look of awe and amazement on his face.
Chris is ahead of us with our Heavenly Father seeing beautiful scenery that none of us have evern seen before. I look forward to the day when I may be able to enjoy that beautiful scenery with him.

ReplyDeleteNatalie and family,
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking of you so much over the holidays and new year. I've been thinking how hard your days must be. And today I have been thinking of Chris. It's the first day of registration for Spring classes and Chris was always right there in Wilson Hall with us helping students and solving their problems - there is a void without him here.
Thinking of you and praying for you in 2010.
