Sarah and Georgia. It is with a heavy heart and a lot of sadness that I am writing this message. I have just received a text message from Sophia to let me know that Chris has passed away. I am devastated to hear and even more disappointed that I missed the chance to attend the service celebrating Chris's Life. I have very fond memories of a fabulous neighbour, the times spent socialising at Lockwood Road and all the times he would stop and take the time to have a good old yarn. He will be so dearly loved ever to be forgotten.

A good man taken far too soon. To quote, grief is the price we pay for love. May the love of family and friends surround you.
