Sending my condolences to the Hansford family. I went to Jehovah Lutheran with Chris, and remember sitting next to him the entire 8th grade year. He always had a smile on his face and made me laugh. I'm happy I had the chance to see him again during our Jehovah reunion. He will forever live in our hearts.
