My heart goes out to the family of Christopher Short and to all the people that had the pleasure of his presence. I was fortunate to watch him grow from a baby given a loving home by his wonderful Grandmother Mavis to a grown man with his own children Andre and Alexis. Christopher was a hard worker and I never heard him say a mean word about anyone.
I recall seeing Chistopher as a baby with his beautiful eyes, blonde hair and immense energy. He was so cute and his Grandma Mavis would bring him to pick up his uncle Eric after soccer practice with my son. My love goes out to the family especially Mavis. God Bless all of you in this difficult time.
