I didn't cry for you yesterday so I think that I'll cry twice as hard today.

To Chris I wrote this with you in mind...rest in peace.

Then...Alright!
If you step beyond your own mountains and molehills and are able to see another's plight,
The hardest, heaviest, most awkward fight suddenly looks easier in a slightly different light.
Stand firm in support or give a steady little push seems to mow down a problem taking flight.
To assist a friend, share a smile, somehow turns it all to a bit of delight!
And if then one would grab ahold with every bit of might,
Surely then the end of such a scary ride will evidently come into your sight!

You will be dearly missed.

Chris was my baby brother, by age. I'm not sure that he ever knew the strength that Christ in him imparted to others. For me, he was a quiet - gentle - humble - loving - giving & forgiving man of God and in my heart - he was my "big" brother. He was a man whose heart's desire was to please the Father every day in every way he could; in thought & in deed. His example caused me to want to live the same way. He showed his love for me by sharing Christ's love to me and by always being there for me in prayer and in life. His faith & encouragement helped renew hope in me many times. I can hardly wait to praise the Lord with him again! I miss him so much.

Just trying to remember how life was with you, but what keeps coming back is the time when you were about 10 years old. We were all around the kitchen table and you were talking too much and I told you to be quiet or I would knock you from here to kingdom come and further,more you wouldn't get to watch Shirley Temple Fairytails. And you replied "I know it, cuz I won't be here"
You were like your father who was sharp in retort. Now you are with him and I will miss him and you and when he passed over, you took over his place. You were then the head of the family. Like him, I will always love you.
Praise the Lord
Mom

Chris, though our paths may not have crossed for long, I have been touched by your having been here. The statements of others are a testament to your life.

It is difficult for us all to believe that your life's mission has been completed at such a young age. Thank you for being here to serve with integrity, care about those you serve and share the love in your heart.

To think that I will never see your face again
or hear your voice, strong and kind and true
and feel the peace I feel when you're around me
and know that there is nothing I can do

I picture you sitting there with Daddy
cracking jokes and catching up on life
you're telling him about your precious family
your son, your daughter and your loving wife

and then of course you'll tell him of your grandkids
the one that is and one that's soon to be
and then you'll tell him that we all sure miss him
as you'll be missed by all your family

I love you Chris Praise the Lord

Resting comfortably Thanks

There was a man who was my brother

His love and honor were above all others

He served his country he served his home

Now he is gone we will all feel alone

I will miss him very much

I love you big brother
