Chris was a wonderful compassionate person. He helped anybody. If he had it and someone else needed it, he would give his last. Chris and I have plenty of memories together and it is sad that his life had to be taken from him when it was just startin to pan out for him. He was a hard worker, a music lover, a joy to be around. I could go on and on about the friend that I lost. I pray for his family and his friends and hope that we remain strong in this time of hurt and pain. Chris, I will always love..You was truly and angel that was too special for earth. I'll miss u Baye!!
