To me, Libby [Pelican], Chris will always be …

… the Taco Bell lunch date that was guaranteed to brighten my every week …
… the only person who could tease me, a new driver clunkily mastering a stick-shift, “Oh Shit, Libby, grind the gears!”, without getting punched …
… the joyful chuckles echoing across Prospect Lake as he mastered waterskiing …
… the perfect reason to be late for first period …
… the inspiration to enter the field of autism as a professional …
… a cheerful morning greeting that lifted my spirits …
… big bear hugs that warmed my heart …
… and 18th birthday party I was honored to attend …
… the best partner for early morning Beach Boys jam session in my car …

Thank you, Chris, for bringing so much sunshine into my life!
