I realize this comes nearly 2 years after the fact but I've only recently become aware of both Chris and Corey's passing. I attended high school with both of them and as our 10 year reunion approaches, I want to send my condolences.
Love and prayers.##imported-begin##Ariana Bavarian##imported-end##

I too only knew Chris and Corey together as kids... I'm so incredibly sorry for the pain you're going through and I'm sorry I couldn't personally be there to say so.. May you all take each day you heal to also appreciate the times that you had with them both for they are in no pain where they are.##imported-begin##Carmen Snapp##imported-end##

Tem,
My wife and I were in Longview this weekend for the reunion of the Pine Tree graduation class of 1973. We learned at lunch today of the tragic death of your son, Chris, and this news was devastating for us. I stopped by Rader Funeral Home to sign the guest register because I want you to know that we are remembering you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. As we prepared for our reception at Pine Tree Cafeteria this afternon, we watched part of Chris's memorial service, and I can assure you it was a very moving experience. Your words of testimony were outstanding. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you and your family. My email address is: [email protected] and my cell number is 254-913-1919. I would certainly appreciate hearing from you and assuring you of my support and prayers. God's blessings on you during these days.

Chris was always one to step up to the plate to volunteer when i needed a helping hand! While site manager at an afterschool Summer program, i met chris, and he always helped me when i needed a young man to help out with the teens especially boys! He never said No! He was very special, and will be missed greatly! my prayers are with your family!##imported-begin##Tamara Pipkin##imported-end##
I pray for you because I know for myself how hard this is. Your children were heroes. They did what made them happy...to help others. I know you are so proud of them both. God has a reason for things, and we never understand as parents. Because of what happened, God has a purpose for us. I don't know mine yet, since I just lost my only child, Rob, eight months ago.
You are in my prayers!##imported-begin##Kim Ward##imported-end##
