Christopher had lived with his “Nannie,” Janice Raley, since he was 9 months old. He and his oldest sister, Kaitlin, resided with their grandmother. He and “Nannie” shared a special time every morning drinking coffee. He took pride in being “the man of the house” and was very protective of his “Nannie” and sister, Kaitlin.
