    We would like to express our sympathy and please know that we are keeping you in our prayers. We only knew your family for a few days but Chris showed great courage and strength. All of the family were very sweet and compassionate to us. We are the family who shared the unit at The Elizabeth House. The Grace Metcalf family.
