I am sorry to hear about your loss. I went to high school with Chris; he was a nice guy. Everyone whom I have remained in contact with from the class of 2000 is in shock and saddened by the loss of a classmate.

To the entire Walton Family,

I'm so sorry for your loss, but I know that Chris is with God. I know that you all are going to miss him so much, because this is a hard and trying time. But I know for a fact that it does get better, it just takes time and each day it gets better and better. You will always miss that person (Chris), but God will make the pain go away. I know because I've been here and I do feel better. I still have tears, but I also have laughter and only God can do that.

I love you all and may God Bless all of you richly.

I was very saddened when I heard about Chris passing. It has been so long since I've seen all of you but one thing I can never forget is Chris' smile! It is not always God's will to see His plan for our lives and those we love. However, we can be forever comforted knowing that His will must be done and it will all work out for the good of those who love Him. We can be certain that Chris is now without pain and laying in the bosom of our Lord. Please be comforted in knowing that we too will be with him eternally one day.



My prayers are with you all as you go through this season.



Love,

Danielle Askew
