Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits — who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. (Psalm 103:1-5)

Dear, Dear Kim,
To you and all who loved Chris, we send you strength.
Eternity opens it’s arms in promise to receive us, as time, like a small gust of wind, blows us across the dusty floor of what we call life, into the lasting fields of promise that God Himself tends as a gardener- His garden.

I am so sorry to hear of the sudden loss of your husband. My sister Ellen told me of the news the other day. Although I have not seen you in some time I wanted you to know that my thoughts are with you.
Sending love to you

My deepest sympathy goes to you Kim on the loss of your husband Chris.
Words can not express how deeply saddened I was to read about Chris’s passing.
I will always remember Chris’s sense of humor and how much he could make me laugh.
Hugs

Chris was a great Realtor and an accomplished sales person
that I was delighted to know @ Sutton real Estate for 12 years.
He is with Jesus now and I am so pleased to know
that he was a Christian.
God bless
