My mother Gail would like me to let you and your parents know that she is thinking about you guys constantly!!

Thommy and Nanci,
I am very sorry for your loss. Having kids of our own I'm sure a piece of you both has passed on with this tragic event and although you both must carry on Kris is in God hands and has made it to the other side. Be strong for your kids and each other. Don't forget Kris as he will never forget you. Have sorrow for him but rejoyce in who he was and still is. May God bless your family. Ted Jr and Joy Hill
