McCarthy Family,
I was shocked and sorry to hear about Chris. I've known him
briefly, from QSI in Harrisonburg, and in that period of time, he has left a
lasting impression on me, as an outstanding role model, one that I desired to
encourage others to be like him, and for the young men in the community to get
to know more of. I also met other members of the family, (Freda, Eric, and Mrs.
Carrie) and my heart, prayers, and condolences goes out to all of you.
Keith Sydnor 2008-08-12 00:57:24

Chris used to work for us at Adams and Garth in H'burg. He was always a
delightful person to be around. I ran into him a couple of weeks ago on his
birthday. He mentioned his new job and he seemed very happy at the days Inn, and
he had nothing bad to say about anything. I just want the family to know that he
will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
