My thoughts go out to all of Chris 's family and friends. I have known Chris as client first and colleague and a friend. Chris shared a great deal about his life over the years I have known him. I hope Barb and Leanne, you know how grateful and how lucky Chris felt about having two such loving sisters, who always had his back, he shared that with me all the time. Carolynne I hope you know what new lease on life you gave Chris. He told me every time I chatted with him how much he appreciated you for coming into his life, during some of the most challenging times in his life. He was so excited for your plans for the future. It is with heavy hearts and fond memories we hold for Chris, each of his colleagues are reminded how short life really is. I will remember Chris as someone with generous heart, with great compassion for others( he always had time for a listening ear ), he was tenacious sometimes to fault , hopeful despite his challenges, forgiving, packed with humour no matter how warped, and his strength through his many struggles. I will remember him for his passion for counselling (his true passion) and advocacy on behalf of clients for the same services he received at the beginning of his journey through vision loss. My most cherished memories of Chris is for the other love of his life, his guide dog Nicole, he loved and adored Nicole, she provided him lot of support and her loss made great impact on him. My most vivid images and reminders, I will hold dear is listening to Chris talking to Nicole with love and affection, or trying to play with her down hallway at work. My hope for his loved ones is that you are surrounded by Love and Light, and the image of Chris and Nicole together. Lisa
