The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

Thank you for the sacrifice made by Spc Ndururi and the sacrifice made by everyone who loves and misses her! May God bless all of you!!

You are remembered and respected. Thank you Spc Ndururi!

Hello, My name is Emily and I'm the mother of a fallen soldier by the name of Pvt. Isaac T. Cortes KIA on Nov 27, 2007 in Iraq. My condolences to you and your family for your lost. I wanted to share with you about a wall in Chicago where they are adding the names of fallen soldiers who have died in the war. I will be heading to Chicago next week for the reading of names and Christine will be one of the names I will have the honor of reading. Peace be with you and God Bless..

Today is 3/19/08; Christine your memories still hold on in our hearts. we miss you and trust that we shall see you some day in heaven.

To the family:

"Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal" There are not enough words to express my deep compassion and love for our Soldiers, the Soldiers God has entrusted to me! I have been in the Ministry since 1979, and in 2004 God blessed me with a "personalized" tape ministry for our troops. I consider it an honor to do what I do. There are not enough hours in a day or ways to say "thank you" for the sacrifices. I will FOREVER salute Spc. Christine M. Ndururi!

Happy Birthday SPC Ndururi.

GOD BLESS YOUR GIRL THE TINNIN FAMILY-ROCKPORT TX

our thoughts and prayers are with your family through this terrible time. Christine was a true american hero

Rest in peace with our heartfelt thanks.

I can't even find the words...I lost my 19 year old son--5 Sept 2007, Balad, Iraq. I am absolutely devastated and I know that you are too...but find comfort in the fact that we will see our loved ones, our heroes again. Do I wish that I could trade places with my son? ABSOLUTELY not. He is in the arms of our Lord--"And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away" ~Rev 21:4
What a wonderful thought...
May God bless Spc. Christine M. Ndururi, God bless you and your family and God bless America!

Father we entrust our sister Christine to your mercy. You loved her greatly in this life: now that she is freed from all its cares, give her happiness and peace forever. Welcome her now into paradise where there will be no more sorrow, no more weeping or pain, but only peace and joy with Jesus your Son, and the Holy Spirit forever and ever.
May God hold Christine in the palm of His hand. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. My deepest sympathy.

When I saw todays paper, it brought back so many memories. Last summer, I was in your shoes. I am so deeply sorry for your loss, and I know exactly how you feel. May God bless such a brave soul.

What a beautiful smile, what a gentle face, may God's embrace be welcoming your daughter in Heaven, may His peace keep you from falling apart, because if you think about it, this life is very, very sad sometimes, but Heaven according to the word of God is a bliss, no pain, no tears, peace, joy everyday, everytime, on and on and on for eternity. I have an army daughter, she has been in Iraq twice and might be going for a third time, I am nervous, of course, but your daughter and my daughter chose to be brave and determined ladies, a blessing to all, they chose to be like eagles, strong and independent. May God give you the peace that only He can give, and may you one day, look back and realize that we all have a destiny that nobody can change, no matter where you are at, God gave us a day to be born and a day to die, and we must accept it, because is the best for us, He is never wrong, and nothing ever happens without Him allowing it, we must trust Him, because He is a good God, He loves us like a mother loves a child, I know your precious daughter is loved by Him at this time and for eternity, trust Him. God Bless. lupe from miami

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Please accept our sincere condolences for the loss of your lovely daughter. It seems the best of our children feel a calling to serve their counrty. In your daughters case an adoptive country. Take pride in her accomplishments for she had many at such a young age. Hopefully in time your grief will be replaced by the true pride her patriotism deserves.
We know well your pain. We lost our grandson pfc John Landry Jr in March 2007.Our thoughts and prayers are with youand your family. May God bless you all.

She was a great soldier who fought for the country that she had only lived in for 3 years. I heard that she graduated in 2005 from my school Dracut High School.

We love you but Jesus loves you best. Rest in peace.

You have proved to be a great worrior. May He who brought you forth keep you safe under His wing.

It must be borne in mind that the tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It is not a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled. But it is a calamity not to dream. It is not a disaster to be unable to capture your ideal, But it is a disaster to no ideal to capture. It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars. But it is a disgrace not to have stars to reach for.May the good God that i preach comfort you in Jesus name.

For Muchiri family we share the grief and sadness during this trying moment.As neighbours We remember vividly when Christine paid a visit to our house sometimes this year.We treasure that moment.My the almighty give the family the strength to go through.

Its God who giveth and it was his time to take Christine. He will be there for you during this time of hardship. Blessed be his name.

To SPC Ndururi's Family,
My name is WO1 Agyei, Charles a Ghanaian, and I had the opportunity to work with SPC Ndururi. She was one of the best soldiers I had and was looking forward to her becoming a sergeant so that I could put her incharge of a section. She was very smart and as such, I kept her in my stock control section after I took over and made changes. Sometimes I feel she is still with us because I owed her an answer to a question she asked. She always wanted to help other people and what I will miss about her most is her motivation. May she Rest In Perfect Peace.

May, God rest her soul in peace, a brave young woman.

To ndururi family i would like to wish you all the best at this time of sorrow, my names are SGT Odhiambo Patrick Am kenyan i first meet ndururi back in april WLC we graduated Fort Hoot III Corps Academy together same date she always hard a big smile, that ill miss.

Dear Family of a Hero,
Words cannot express the gratitude that we have for our fallen soldiers.
It takes someone wonderful and loving to raise a child with unselflessness, and potriotism enough to serve our country. Thank you For being that person.
We truly know that the Lord will hold you and your fallen one in the hollow of his hand and watch over you both for your sacrifice. We could say that he might have a place in heaven for all mililtary families, where they can meet, and thank each other for their sacrifices.
Please know that we will NEVER forget.
With Love and Much Admiration

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

To The Ndururi Family:

There are never any words to say,only love that can be shared between us in our hearts. We stand together with the greatest gift of all, the unconditional love of our children.

If you should ever need a listening ear, or just need to shed some tears, never hesitate to contact us, because we are a family who made the ultimate sacrifice.

To Christine,
We all loved you, your endless deeds of kindness and the respect you showed to everyone cannot be measured.May all the glory and honour be to God for he loves the best.Your memories will remain in my heart.

Christine,
We loved you, but God loved you more. We would have wished you continued being among us, but God had better plans. We cannot say 'No' to His plan. We are so proud that you lived your life with a testimony of Christ and His victory over death; we therefore know you've gone to a better habitat whose foundations are of God. May His holy name be praised.

To the family of Christine Ndururi:
I am sadden to hear of yet another soldier's life lost. I know words cannot take away the grief you must be feeling at this time. Please accept my sincere condolences.

My condolences to the family and Christine.... a very special person.

I'm gonna miss you but i know i will soon see you again on the other side of the shore.... Stay righteous and God be with you till we meet again...

Dear Ndururi Family,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you mourn the loss of your hero, Christine.

Please take comfort in knowing many military families grieve with you.

May the loving memories and great pride you share bring you comfort in the difficult days ahead.

You will remain in our prayers.

Most sincerely,
Blue Star Mothers, MA Chapter 1

My prayers and thoughts are of your loss and how you must feel. I am certain that she was a great soldier and young lady. I had the pleasure of meeting her several weeks ago while visiting my son, who is in her unit. I said at that time how much I admired these young ladies that have chosen such a career. Please know that her extended military famlies will miss her. God bless you and your family. Mother of a Soldier, Tammy Padilla

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

To the Family and Friends of this Soldier:
I will stand in grief with this soldier's family to honor her. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life, but I promised Brent that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
We lost our son SFC Brent A. Adams on 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday. I wish so badly there were things I could say to you right now to make the pain you are feeling go away, but I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you go through this tragedy moment by moment and as you mourn this loss.
We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with as our hearts both burst with pride and pain together.
I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally. While they can never be replaced, neither will they ever be forgotten. You must trust that sometime, someday the loving memories you have will help to sustain you and help you go on. This courageous soldier will forever be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well.
To her family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss her, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by her presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is your wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever.
If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero.
God Bless this soldier and family who gave all and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.

My heartfelt sympathy to the Ndururi family in the loss of Christine. I did not know Christine, but my heart is broken and I am saddened for your loss of such a fine young person and hero.

My heart was touched by the many wonderful/beautiful things written about you. Christine you are my hero and you will NEVER be forgotten.
I send each of you a hug from the most inner part of my heart.
Love and Peace

With the deepest regret, I have just learned of the death of Specialist Ndururi. As a Vietnam Veteran and the State Chaplain of the Georgia Society, Sons Of The American Revolution, I speak for our President, Charlie A. Newcomer, III and the more than 1,400 SAR members around the State of Georgia in humbly expressing the condolences of a grateful Society. Wrapped in the integrity of service to our nation and the inestimable values of duty, honor and country, your American hero stood on a wall of freedom for us all. This precious life, lived and lost in love of America, epitomized every attribute of patriotism the Sons Of The American Revolution hold dear. And, as Americans, we could never repay the debt we owe ..!! Nor the debt we owe you… the family of one of America's best ...!!!

We send our deepest sympathies and prayers to you on your loss. Our hearts go out to you at this time and we'll remember Christine in our daily prayers.
Sincerely,

Am So Sorry She Had To Go
I Have Meet Her before she is the sister of one of my closest friend(faith)I know her sister loved her dearly and considered her as an idol.May she rest in peace. She did well for this country.

REST IN PEACE SPC. NDURURI, TO YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS MAY THE MEMORIES OF THIS WONDERFUL SOLDIERS LIFE FILL YOUR HEARTS WITH BEAUTIFU MEMORIES
GOD BLESS YOU

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

I would also like to tell you about a website, http://groups.msn.com/SSPSoldierPor
traits/homepage,
where some wonderful people will make wood portraits of your fallen Hero for free for the immediate family. I became aware of this site when I wanted to do something special for Le Ron’s mother.

Dear Ndururi Family,

My deepest sympathies go out to you and the rest of your family. I had the pleasure to serve with Christine (SPC Ndururi)here at Fort Hood. I can still remember calling her SPC Ndururi and her smiling on the phone because she was so happy she finally made it. I was and still am proud of her. I wish I had the opportunity for her to be my soldier. Although she wasn't, she will always be one of my own. I will never forget her smiling face and her loving heart. She truely is a hero, my hero.

To SPC Ndururi,

Sorry I didn't get to see you before you left. I remember us going to McDonald's together just to get out of Stock Control. It was a great time and I saw a different side of you outside of work and outside of this uniform. You always brought a smile to my face whether you knew it or not. I loved you like you were one of my own soldiers. I would have loved for you to become one of my fellow NCO's because you deserved it. There will never be another one of you. You really and truely are one of a kind.

My Deepest and Most Heartfelt Sympathy goes out to the family of Spc. Christine M. Ndururi, with a Multitude of Thanks for this Brave Young Heroine's Courage, Dedication and Service to our Country and for Freedom.

The price Christine and her family have paid, Will Never Be Forgotten. May she Rest Safely, in God's Care and may the Peace of God be with the Ndururi family.
I am the Sister of such a young hero, who made the Ultimate Sacrifice in Vietnam, many years ago

May you find comfort and strength, in the beautiful memories of times spent with Christine.
Quietly and gently, may healing come, with each new day.
You are in my thoughts and my prayers.
