Calm, sympathetic and patient, I kept interrupting, with a million questions swimming around my head. Chris spoke plainly, answered my questions, but more importantly, understood that most of what he was explaining, was going straight over my head. Later that day, I received an email from Chris, there laid out clearly for me was the information we had discussed, along with bereavement services contact information. The relief was immense, I can’t thank him and the company enough.
