Time to time, I come here to re read my little friends obituary. My daughter Carmaria was a patient on CH5, and we quickly became friends with Christian. He would hang out with us in her room and talk with us durring his stays there. I will never forget that young man. He was so special to so many people and dearly loved. He was a true blessing to us. - Posted by: Carolyne Favell (Friend) on: Apr 30, 2022
