At this time, we open the space for guests here today to share a memory. This can be a story or memory that makes you smile or is special to you.If we were all together today this would be like raising your hand and passing the microphone around the room. There are two ways to raise your hand. To use the Zoom feature, click on participants and the raise hand icon will appear on the bottom left of the participants panel. Or, if your video is on, we invite you to do this the old fashioned way and wave your hand in the video. Our staff will call on you by name and ask you to unmute your microphone.You can also share here, in the chat. The chat will be shared with the family as a virtual guestbook.

I was happy to host a gatherings of our buddies at my camp in Willsboro and in Vergennes. Chris was as usual, the life of the party. He just cracked us up all night. We will all miss him terribly.

Thank you all for sharing today and please continue to share your memories on the GatheringUs memorial for Christopher Reed - located here: https://www.gatheringus.com/memorial/christopher-james-reed/5876

My family and I vacationed last year in San Diego. I sent Chris a text to see if he wanted to come meet us at the beach and we would take him out for dinner and drinks. With in minutes he texted back and before I knew it he was hopping over the fence onto the beach. He gave me a huge hug and it was like we were back in high school and he was ready to party! As we caught up he talked for hours about his daughter and how proud he is to be a dad. He wanted to be the best dad...He said he is figuring it out. Grace you are his angel and he is yours forever!

That was so beautiful. Happy birthday to Chris and all my love to the Reed family XO
