Chris was a special and wonderful man. He serves as a shining example for us all in how to bear an unbearable burden, how to keep enjoying life when it is not pleasant, and how to keep what is important in front of your own eyes. He loved his family. He gave the best he had even when it exhausted him. I have known him since he was 6, through Lynn mostly, but I have watched Chris start his life and then have it curtailed by a devastating illness. Many would have given up - but Chris adapted. He is an inspiration to us all. God bless you, Chris' family, as you go through this painful experience and all I can add is that you will see him again, healthy, well, full of vigor and good cheer. Sleep well, Chris Dickinson. You left your mark and you were a good man. Sincerely, may you rest in peace, you deserve it. God bless you. Annette Ryan, best friend of Lynn Dickinson, and Rachel Ryan, Goddaughter of Lynn Dickinson.
