He Left a Good-Bye Note

Aside from his last note, taped onto the bus door, Christopher had taken a self-timer photo holding a sign that said, “I have had a happy life and thank the Lord. Goodbye, and may God bless all!” Also found in his journal, a final line was inscribed: “Happiness is only real when shared.”
