-The Board of Directors of A Way Home
Our dear friend Chris Wolf is now in a better place. The son of Phyllis and Donald, brother of Polly, father of Shelbey, Paige, Alex, and Ainsley, and husband of Cristen, always said that life was most fulfilling when lived in service. Chris answered, in peace, the call he received from higher places on Thursday, December the 3rd.
As those who knew him will remember, everything with Chris was big. All of us who had the blessing of laughing with him will always remember his willingness to smile, his smart sarcasm and that powerful magnetism which made him bigger -even though he already was, most likely, the tallest person in the room-. But bigger was his heart, which failed him unexpectedly, maybe as a final complaint for his excesses in bringing more people in.
May the love we all shared with him, in past and present, guide our memories when celebrating his being ever present in all that he touched: his causes, his family, and friends.
A reception honoring Chris will follow at the Whitehead Manor (5901 Sardis Road).
Donations in lieu of flowers to Crisis Assistance Ministries (500-A Spratt Street, Charlotte 28206) or Habitat for Humanity Matthews (P.O. Box 2008, Matthews, NC 28106)
¡Hasta pronto amigo! We'll be together soon.
