Cousin Chris,
Across all platforms of life, you were open-hearted. You physically welcomed me to your home. You let me sit next to you, quietly, as you prompted opera singers in Munich.

O Maestro! My Maestro! Your symphony has just begun not here or there but everywhere. Movement to movement and act to act you will perform with never an end. I see your vibrance and I see your smile waving that baton from stage to stage and friend to friend. Every piece I hear every performance…
Some people just make life better for everyone around them. They just naturally make everyone feel a little happier, a little more alive to life. That’s how my cousin Christopher was. His kind heart and generous soul blessed so many people. The times we spent together were always fun times that left me looking forward…
