May God Bless and watch over this family in their time of loss. Kristopher's bravery and sacrifice will never be forgotten. He is watching over all of us and his fellow soldiers who are still there in Iraq. Please know that I too lost my son, Billy, in Taji on 12-03-06. May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

To those who knew him, I wish I could say something to help ease the pain. At least know that we are thinking of you in this time, and that we will not forget his sacrifice.

Nothing I can say will ease the feeling of pain and loss that Kristopher's family, friends loved ones and fellow soldiers are feeling. He has paid the ultimate price to protect and preserve our freedom as well as help the Iraqi people. I never had the Honor of meeting Kristopher but my youngest son is in his unit. I pray every day that this whole ugly business will be over soon and our people will come home. My heartfelt sympathy and gratitude go out to Kristopher's family and loved ones. The Lord looks out for the good and righteous and I am sure that Kristopher is with him now.
