Caroline's thoughts on Chris

I received this email from Caroline Roy shortly after we learned about Chris:

This is a sad time for us. We all loved Chris and his gentle soul. He touched us all. Lindsay and Renee were able to spend time with him over the holidays and for that I am very happy as they are. I had not seen Chris in some time, but one of his drawings hangs in my living room so in a sense he is always present. It is a drawing he did when he was living with us in Brighton when we were first married. He would go to the Boston ballet practices and sketch the dancers as they went through their routines. I love this drawing. It is hard to know why these things happen when so unexpected. As you both say, it makes us step back and realize the importance of being grateful for having those we love in our lives, as well as letting them know that every day. We do tend to forget and take for granted.
