To the Family of Christopher Walker: Our hearts are heavy today as PIR is celebrated, a day you were to join in to celebrate with your new sailor. He will always be a part of PIR 1/20/2012, Div 045. He was at the finish line --- just about to become a sailor, after so many weeks of hard work. In our minds, he IS a sailor, right there with his shipmates. I know it helps all attending PIR today to picture him among them in the PIR drill hall.
May the Lord comfort you during these such difficult days. Your family and Christopher are not forgotten today...and we will be praying for you this afternoon as you lay him to rest.

The white ribbons above were lovingly made by our beloved N4Moms veteran, Lala. She wanted to offer them to all attending PIR today, to show that Christopher would not be forgotten.

My heart hurts for you Walker family and you as well Amber. I am so sorry for your loss. I hope that God can bring peace to all of you. Chris must have been a wonderful young man to choose to serve our country. He was willing to look out for all of us, even strangers by joining the Navy. Now I am sure he is still looking out for all of us from Heaven above. God bless you all, I will keep you in my prayers, Lora
