KENNESAW, Ga. | Dec 12, 2017

To Chris Hewitt, nothing means more than family.

During Thanksgiving week, Hewitt took a well-deserved vacation from work and school. He enjoyed the holiday with his family — which includes his wife Cassie, son Caden, 11, and nephews James, 18, and Eli, 7, whom he and Cassie adopted after Cassie’s sister died of cancer in 2012.
