Eternal rest give unto them, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon them.
 

Due to a car accident in late August in San Diego county, my family lost my older brother Chris, my eldest sister Cleofe, my 13-yr-old niece Mahala and my brother-in-law Mark. [SIZE="1"]Here is a brief description of the incident... [URL="http://www.cbs8.com/Global/story.asp?S=11082656"]http://www.cbs8.com/Global/story.asp?S=11082656[/URL][/SIZE].

For better opportunities to help further his career, Chris moved in with Mark, Cleofe & Mahala down in Chula Vista (a suburb of San Diego) about 3 months ago. I had been living with Chris in Vallejo for the past 2 years. My sister & her family lovingly & selflessly welcomed him into their home. Although they had lived in the SD area for 15+ years, regular trips to visit one another made the distance a bit more bearable. I could say much, much more but we don't have the space nor do I want to take up any more of your time than is necessary. But to say they will be missed by so many people is a HUGE understatement.

[FONT="Book Antiqua"]One of Chris's best friends from high school created this memorial website:

It contains pix, bios, and other info.

Also, here is an article in which my "baby" brother was interviewed that ran in our local paper.
