  1. Chris,
    I am so very sorry for the loss of your mom. She was a truly wonderful woman with a beautiful soul. I have many fond memories when we were growing-up in church, running & playing while she watched us..or playing tag or touch football in your yard while she kept a close eye on us. I even have a couple of memories of your mom chasing us kids being unruly during pageants, reaching for the closest butt to whoop!
    I hope you know you’re in our prayers and we’re sending lots of love and support your way. Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to help.

    Much Love,
    Kerry & Courtney Hooper, Jr.
