    To the LeFande Family, my deepest sympathy goes out to you, I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ve known Chris for so long I’ve lost count of the years. He was always there to help me, whether it was fixing my car, giving advice and the many times I’ve slept on the couch Erica and Chris were always there for me so for me to hear that he has passed is unbelievable. He truly was a diamond in the rough. He earned his wings his short time on earth. May you all find comfort knowing he was loved and will be missed. Erica my heart goes out to you and the kids.

    To my beautiful husband father of my kids, my best friend always! I have known you since I’m 13 years old. And I knew I loved you then. About 11 years later I ran into you. And I told you how much I loved you. And you were so happy to see me. I have the pleasure of being your wife for 23 years. But I had the honor of knowing you oh, I was really good friends for 37 years! And absolutely devastated and so are your kids! I promise you right down to my last breath. I will definitely get Justice for you! They made you sound like you were some kind of Menace that was running around the streets on the news. But everybody who knows you. Knows that that is not true. You are the kindest gentlest guy I’ve ever known! I miss you so much babe! This is not goodbye, I will see you later. I love you so much baby!😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
