My deepest sympathy to the Callison family. My love and prayers are with you. I’m sure Uncle Harold has welcomed Christopher Home.
Chris was such a blessing at McCorkle Church and will truly be missed. I have no doubt that he is with his heavenly Father today and I know that your knowing this will give you some comfort in this time of sorrow. I don’t think I have ever seen anyone that had the strong faith and the strong love for God like Chris did. He was definitely someone to look up to and admire. I am praying that God will wrap his arms around all of you and provide the peace and comfort that only he can.
Praying that GOD will comfort and guide you in this trying time of sorrow.
