Dear Ellis Family, I am so sorry to hear about Chris.. He put up a strong, brave fight. I followed his and your struggles on Facebook. Thank you for sharing. It seemed to be very ...almost therapeutic and maybe even comforting to be able to describe your milestones or set backs. Thank you for sharing your most personal thoughts and feelings. It was truly a gift. Still, I cant imagine how you remain strong or how you managed through it all. My deepest condolences, prayers and love.

Shared by darlene robinson on 11/11/2016 3:26 PM

Oh Miss Dani...How I will miss our bedside therapy sessions, Dunkin Donuts, and Chris hiding those feet. I can see Ted and Chris gaming, and we're trying to pick toes. I am sad, my heart does ache, but I'm relieved Chris is finally at peace. Remember God is faithful, and with trials, and temptation, he makes a way out for us to endure. The life, love, and legacy of Chris will continue through You, Ted, and Maria, this is certain. With Love, Kellie

Until that time May God grant you peace. With much love and prayers, The Skopec Family

Whenever someone climbed the staircase to heaven and those left behind were grieving my mother would tell them: "They are not gone. Just put your hand over your heart and you'll find them there." May this beautiful child live forever blissfully in your heart.

There are no words that are adequate. We have lived this with you through your journals. The openness with which you have shared very up and down of this journey have touched more people than you will probably ever know, and those of us who knew and loved you before Chris's diagnosis now love you even more. Know you are loved, lean on your community, celebrate Chris's life forever. If you need help setting up a legacy for him, or with anything, please let us know. We don't have any particular experience, but would like to help you move forward in any way we can. Be joyful that you were blessed to have such a special soul in your family.

Dear Dani, Ted and Maria. I am sorry for your loss. My name is Ashley Tompkins and I used to work for Ampac. I have been following your story ever since Emillia made the UK branch aware. Chris' story touched my heart. I still wear the yellow band I had made for him. I still have my fight for Chris t-shirt I got made when we did the mucky races run for him. I wish I knew what to say to you guys. Best wishes. Ashley x
