I...I did go to the funeral and it was really good. It brought me comfort so I hope it did the same for his family...... His Dad is so strong, its amazing. His youngest brother Seth talked and it was funny and great and broke your heart at the same time. He said that the remaining 3 boys are a bit jealous of Chris and Joe getting to be together... I guess Chris has had 2 open heart surgeries in the last 4 years so its not completely out of the blue. The only good thing about having a 2nd grown child die is that you have the comfort that the two of them are together now... Still breaks my heart... His wife is due with their 3rd daughter in December. He died the day before their 5th anniversary and he was on a business trip when it happened. Another nice thing is that an old ward member/family friend was living in LA and Chris' dad was able to contact him to give Chris a blessing. That brought them a lot of comfort too. 2 minutes after the blessing, Chris died. Chris' wife sang (with 3 friends) at the funeral (WOW!). I guess Joe's wife re-married to someone who has teenage kids. They live in South Ogden so maybe I'll run into her there one day... Anyway, I have the program for the funeral and I'd be happy to send it to you if you want it. Course we're over-due for a get-together, don't you think? What say? Then I could hand-deliver...The Whitaker Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15844066578328747065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4941858457831271563.post-4048634742135609762008-10-02T16:21:00.000-06:002008-10-02T16:21:00.000-06:00I know, Tara. It makes my heart hurt too..... I ...I know, Tara. It makes my heart hurt too..... I don't know why. I can't understand it. And then there's Chris's family who lost another son/brother just 7 years ago? Who looses 2 20/30 something children?!?! I'm going to the funeral tomorrow, are you? Just wondering because it would be nice to see you....The Whitaker Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15844066578328747065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4941858457831271563.post-37179658457329901902008-10-01T18:39:00.000-06:002008-10-01T18:39:00.000-06:00Oh that's truly awful!!!
