Dear Andreozzi Family,
My name is Claudia Earley and I remember Chris from Shepherd Glen School days. Anna and I were on PTA together and Chris and Ryan were classmates of my daughter Jenna.

Sending deepest sympathy to Kerry and Anna and Rich and Ryan for the loss of a caring and thoughtful son. Claudia and Bill Earley

I had the privilege of growing up and going to school with Chris and Ryan. I remember having math class with Chris and he was such a funny and smart classmate of mine. He made that class worth going to and help me get through it. As he was a member of the baseball team at the time and I was a member of the Softball team we would always have great conversations about the our games.
Chris will always be remembered as such a caring, thoughtful and athletic man! My deepest condolences to you and your family! Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!
Sincerely,
Jenna Arnett
Rich – Ellen and I send our deepest condolences to you and your family. No parent should lose a child. And I know that in spirit my parents are grieving with you.

Our deepest sympathies for your loss. No one should go through this heartbreak.
Reach out if you need to.

Dear Andreozzi family,
I had the pleasure of working with Chris on WS3 from 2021 till he left in 2022. He was a phenomenal provider to his patients and when he was tough on his coworkers, it was always in the search of better care for his patients. He was fierce on their behalf and meticulous. I was a better nurse for having worked with him because I knew he cared so deeply. I saw him a few weeks ago on the unit – he was so bright and enthusiastic about being on the unit again. His impact on us was huge and we truly feel we lost a member of our WS3 family. He will be missed.
Chris was such a well-respected member of the mental health community. He lectured to my nursing class this year and he was humble, intelligent, humorous and so likeable. My deepest condolences to his family. It is a terrible loss for the community.
Anna, I am so sorry, and sending prayers and condolences to you your husband and your children . What a great loss .
Our hearts and prayers are with Anna, Rich and family during this most difficult time. We wish there were words to tell you how sorry we are.
My condolences, thoughts, and prayers to all members of the Andreozzi Family. What a loss.
We all live with knowing that life and death go hand in hand, and our next breath is never guaranteed, but when the loss is so sudden, and so tragic to one so young, so gifted, and so needed in the specialty he served, it makes it that much harder to grasp. YPI lost an amazing young man. May his family be lifted in prayer and find comfort in the arms of the Angels.
My heart goes out to you, Rich and your family upon learning about the passing of your son, Christopher. May you all be surrounded by Light and Love during this difficult time and may your hearts be warmed by the memories of this beautiful soul! May Christopher experience the peace and joy that is beyond our mortal understanding.
