To my most precious daughter: Thank you for introducing me to "unconditional love". I wish I had so many do-overs with your years. As we said, "I love you taller than heaven, longer than always and with more love than can be defined. Boocoodles." I miss you so completely! Save us a seat! And know that all love goes to heaven! <3

Twinkle twinkle little star,
We know where and how you are...
You are everywhere and in our heart
Where you were loved from the very start.
And you are at peace!
That is comfort to know,
It helps tear drops glisten
When they start to flow.
Your smile still contagious
It makes us smile too
And your laughter still echoes
That laughter is you.
You are now privy to the secrets of life
Without all the confusion, free of the strife.
You now see clearly and know to be true
That we love you and miss you all the way thru.
Fifteen years have flowed downstream
Yet only yesterday in a dream
To reassure at peace you are,
Twinkle twinkle little star...

Happy Birthday! I miss you so much. When we very first met one another in the 5th grade, we instantly became best friends. Our friendship will always be forever. I thank God for allowing us to meet. I enjoyed our childhood together. We had so much fun cheering at S.C.R.A together, and going to school dances together. In 2003, we took night school so we could catch up on our grades; so we could graduate from high school on time. When our classes were over for that semester, we were happy we passed. That last night of school, I gave you a ride home. We said our good byes to one another. After that semester, we graduated from high school, and I went straight to college, and I lost a lot of time with you. I never realized that night when I dropped you off at your house from night school, that our good byes would be eternal. I miss you so much, and I love you dearly.

Good morning baby girl! I wanted to stop by and thank you for being born on Feb 5, 1985. Yesterday was a loving, blessed day, remembering so much of your life and your love. Even some funny memories in there! I miss you so much and the outpouring of love on your birthday melted my heart so.
I do believe that you get to take all the love to heaven with you and I am believing that you are basking in it, and smiling.
Happy Birthday precious Christi! I love you taller than heaven, longer than always and with more love than can be defined....boocoodles! We miss you so much! mom and brent

"Pizza Guy" was his nickname! :) Anywhoo...I'm popping in to send you love. I had a long chit chat with you today...I know the message from the heart reaches you. I will forever thank God for loaning you to me and forever thank HIM for receiving you in HIS arms. Save me a hug and seat girl!

To my precious baby girl, and the first to introduce me to what "unconditional love" means, I love you with every fiber in me. 6 years ago today, your organs were donated. This week has been bittersweet. During these past 6 years, all the time I thought I was holding on to HIS HEM, HE WAS HOLDING ME UP. The outpouring of love has been overwhelming and humbling. The lives you have touched has been overwhelming and humbling. You are so alive in love! Thank you for being born! Thank you for your love! Thank you for you! And I thank our Heavenly Father for giving you to me! (Save me a good seat!) I love you taller than heaven, longer than always and with more love than can be defined. mom

Dear Christi-Angel: I never met you in life but I feel I know you through your precious mom and brother. You left a hole here when you left, but filled in a hole that existed in Heaven. But the hole you left here is being filled with love and action to save other young people and their families from tragedy. You have touched so many people and I'm grateful for that!

Dear Christi,
Even though we never met in this life on earth I think of you as another daughter because your family is my adopted family in Georgia. I have seen your room and all your gorgeous pictures. I know your time on this planet was short but I know that you did great things while you were in it. Maybe you didn't get to see those things first hand but I can tell you the world is a better place because you were in it. Your Mom is such a Blessing to me Chrisit. You would be so proud of her and all that she is doing to make sure another family will not have to go through the pain that your family has had to go through. And Brent...He is my second son. He has a heart of gold and the joy that he brings my three kids can't be put into words. He is smarter than smart, he is great at basketball, and soccer and he is kind to everyone...I don't think that you could ask for a better little brother. Please know that I am looking out for your family and I will take good care of them until the day when you are all together again.
Christi Angel

Your little brother is missing you a lot lately. Send him an angel hug. Send me one too!
Please know that I will always love you taller than heaven, longer than always and with more love than can be defined. "Booocooodles"!

It was pretty ride o die out there and I'm glad you were by my side through it all. I love you Christi and keep an eye on your Mom.........she sounds like an amazing Mom and she loves you a lot.

Hey sweetie: WOW girl....you stir up much! In a good way! I can just see you sprinkling your fairy dust on all that we are accomplishing because of you. You have touched so very, very many!
We did the "Jingle Jam" tradition that you started. We do it every year. Lip sinking, sliding on the hard wood floors, dancing and being goofy while decorating the tree.
This year when we did it, I broke two Christmas bulbs and the dog bit me! hahaha! Maybe I missed a step in there somewhere? hahaha!
Anywhoo baby girl....your family loves you more than air, taller than heaven, longer than always and with more love than can be defined....booocooodles!
Merry Christmas to my favorite angel!

Hey baby girl. It's kind of ironic that Danielle just wrote to you because I had this "guest book" feeling yesterday. (Happy belated birthday Danielle!)
I know you know that there's a bunch going on, and it's all because of you Baby Girl. Somehow I wish there was a way for you to know the lives you touch while you are still on earth. You've touched so many and you are making so many differences.
I'm sending you a hug. Remember when we used to say "if you feel goosebumps today, it's me sending you a hug?" Oh how I wish I could hold and hug you! I just got my goose bumps! THANK YOU!
One day, I'm going to have this guest book printed and hard bound and give it to your little brother. (He's not so little anymore! He's taller than me now! What's up with that?!) He misses you so much. You were so good to him Christi! Thank you for being a beautiful daughter and a most loving sister to Brent!
I love you! I'll keep you posted missy!
I love you more than air, taller than heaven, longer than always and with more love than can be defined.....booocooodles!

Hey girly! I havent written here in a long time, but i just wanted you to know i still think of you every day. I wish you were still here. I've been thinking about how far apart we lived and how we never saw eachother as much as i'd have liked because of the distance and now wouldnt you believe i live right down the street from where you lived with your mom. I drive past that street and blow kisses every time. i miss you more than i can put into words. i know one day i will see you again, i just wish that day was today and i could hear your laugh just one more time. Keep looking out for the family. I hear Brent is doing big things! i love you sweetie!

Goodness girl....you are making such a dent in drugs and you are all over the news!
Happy-one-day-after-birthday girlfriend! You are 24 heaven-years-old......and forever 20.
Christi, I love you more than air. I miss you more than this screen or these words can accurately portray.
I feel you. When they cut the umbilical cord at your birth, they never made an incision in the emotional umbilical cord.
You are a gift. You were handpicked by God. HE let me be the lucky mommy that received your love and spend 20 years with you. (Actually 24 years, 9 mos and 1 day!)
Thank you for the most wonderful 20 years of your life (and 9 mos)!

Hey sweet baby girl of mine. It's only 9 more sleeps til Santa comes! Do you remember those "number of sleeps"?
We're going to do the Jingle Jam Christmas tree decorating-thingy that you started as a tradition. We'll do it this weekend and I want you there! Don't be late! Socks on, sliding on the hardwood floor, lip-sinking like Tom Cruise, laughing and dancing to Christmas Jingle Jams while decorating the tree! Brent insisted that we carry on the tradition because it was one of our most fun family times together.
I love you with all my heart......taller than heaven......longer than always and with more love than can be defined......boooooocoooooodles!
God bless you sweet angel! Seeya in the mornin....according to God's clock!
Save us a seat and a hug!
PS: Thanks for helping me with this big ol drug fight. I rec'd a letter from our Congressman yesterday....we're forging ahead!

Christi, I spent the night with you once in 6th grade. We were never SUPER close, but I never forgot that night and how much fun you were... I also never forgot the day that I heard you had passed and HOW you had passed. I was angry for a long time. But now, reading more about the newly opened case, I have faith that something will come of it. Your mom is great and together, with everyone that has that fighting spirit in them, justice will be served.
You are loved and missed...

Hi beautiful. Today is the day, 3 years ago, that you gave your life to others, so others may have a new life. During your life, I saw you give tears to others. I saw you give hugs to others. I saw you laugh with others. I saw you donate your time and your love to others. 3 years ago today, you gave your organs to others. I do not know those people but have rec'd letters from the recipients. By the letters, they sure do have part of you in them. They are feeling energetic, full of life and a bit feisty! hahaha!
I want you to know that God and I have had a lot of chit chats. He tells me that in a twinkle of an eye, we will be together.
With all my heart honey, I love you and am so proud of the gifts of life you have given to others....not only while you were here with us on earth, but also through your purpose in life. You have touched many and made such a difference for others.
Sweetheart, I love you taller than heaven, longer than always and with more love than can be defined! Booocooodles!

I love you so much and miss you so very, very completely!!!
Save me a hug sweetie! God Bless you and thank you for you!

Baby Girl....we're doing it!!!!!!
I told somebody that you bequeathed me your "fighting spirit" because you no longer need those in heaven. You loaned them to me...on earth as in heaven!
Just to let you know...I have borrowed them on earth to fight your case.
I am so proud of the persistence and the fight you left me.
We're going to save at least ONE! I know it! Because of you dear!
Thank you for the "muscle"!
I love you honey1 I love you so much!
I wish I would have fought this hard for you while you were still here. I am so sorry! I took you for granted. Lil did I know!
Thank you for being my daughter! And thank you God for her gift to me!
With all my love,

Hi my love! Lately you have been on my mind and I cant seem to stop thinking about you, not that thats a bad thing. =) Everytime I think about you I remember all of our happy memories we had together. You were a best friend to me and I can't thank you enough. Your were ALWAYS there for me NO matter what was going on in your life. I will NEVER forget you. I CAN'T wait to see you one day in heaven and for us to greet each other with hugs and love at the pearly front gates. =) See you in heaven.

Hi Christi
You did not know me in life,but I feel I have gotten to know you though you sweet,loving,Mother we have been getting to know one another , I know in my heart you and My son Edward are smiling down on our friendship.Here is a poem I wrote for your mom in memory of you.
Christi’s Rainbow
As I wake up in the morning and the foggy
Haze of sleep dissipates, & my mind becomes
More clear
I think Of My Sweet Christi and smile
Because
Like the rainbow that lights up the sky
With its beautiful hue’s of colors
After a refreshing spring rain,
She touched our hearts with the Brightest
Of smile’s
Like the rainbow is a promise from God
And it leaves us with brighter days,
She left a lingering presence of radiance
And most especially her love
And like Gods Promise it gives me hope that
Ill see her again.
I close my eyes and take a deep breath
As my feet touch the floor to start a new day
I realize sometimes in life we really do get to
Meet, hold,touch, and love our heavenly angels
If only for a little while, for god must call them home,
And I know if I had to do it all
Over again I would
Just to feel her love!

Hi honey. I'm supposed to say Happy Birthday today. It's your 23rd. I can't quit crying. It was just a minute ago that I held you for the first time. It was just a minute ago that you took your first steps. It was just a minute ago that you told me you loved me for the first time. It was just a minute ago that I brushed your hair. It was just a minute ago that you turned into a woman. It was just a minute ago that I lost you. On God's clock, I will see you tomorrow! I love you taller than heaven, longer than always and with more love than can be defined! Thank you for being born! Thank you for being my daughter! Have a blessed birthday in heaven honey....and know how very much we love and miss you!
Mom, Your Dad, Your Brother and Your step-dude!

Well sweetheart, it's the first day of a new year without you.
You want to hear something sad? I'm trying to help a family find their daughter today, who was supposed to come over here to see me. She named her own daughter after you...spells it the same too....Christi. She went out last night and the family has not heard from her. My goodness!!!!!! I am praying for her and for her family!
Honey....I know what that family feels like...and even more sad than that....I know exactly where you are right now.
Thank you for being with me. Thank you for your loving spirit. Thank you for being my most beautiful daughter!
I love you with all my heart sweetie. God Bless you with all my love, taller than heaven, longer than always and with more love than can be defined.
BOOOCOOOOODLES!

Dear Big Sis,
It's officially six days after. People always say that time is the only thing that heals, but that is DEFINENTLY not true; it still feels like yesterday. I miss you so much- I wish that I hadn't moved, maybe things would have been different. Coulda-Shoulda-Woulda.. right? I still remember our deal, and I'm trying my hardest to hold up my end of it. i think you would be proud of me. I love you.
Your Lil Sis

Hi Baby Girl. I really need a Christi hug. I am re-living today, 2 years ago. It's like movie in a loop, playing over and over in my head. This was your last "functional day alive" 2 years ago. I'm going through the "should haves", to change anything about the next few hours.
I love you baby girl, with all my heart....I love you! Save me a seat and a hug!

Hey Girlie. Things are crazy right now with all that's going on in my life... I'm sorry it's been a while since I posted.
I miss you so much, Hunny. I'd give anything to chill on Derick's bed one last night. To hear your laugh, see your smile, listen to you talk about your day, etc. I wanna hug you one more time SO BAD!!
Benny and I were at the beach on our Honeymoon. I was out on the balcony at sunset one night, and there was a hot pink glow on the water from the setting sun. It made me smile and think of you.
All my love and hugs FOREVER,

Hi sweetie,
I was thinking about you and your mom, my sister, our family, today.
Family dynamics are such a powerful force in our lives as we continue to grow up, establish our own lives... and... well, grow up :)
We touch each others lives in ways we may never know or understand. I'm tickled at the noise you made, and a special touch that only you, Christi Michelle, made some folks pay attention. You got mine for sure. Please watch out for all of us. Your Mamma is a special lady and she loves you so. Send her extra hugs everyday, (Ron & Brent could use 'em too :)
I wish we'd have had a lifetime.
I love you Christi
Always Hugs

Hi beautiful baby girl. It's one day after Mother's Day. Today is 5/14/07.
I am your mother every day of the week...every minute of the day...every breath that I take, so every day is Mother's Day to me.
I pulled out the giant Mother's Day card you left me...it comes up to my knees! I keep it out. I read it often.
I have the beautiful framed Mother's Day collage you did for me....and I see it daily (hanging in my office) and I point it out to everyone new who enters our home.
I know you were with me this Mother's Day...and everyday. I felt you. I cried. The Mother's Day tribute at church had your name all over it.I felt like it was you, talking to me.
Every day that I wake up is one day closer to you. God's timing does not live by our watch, so I'll be there in just a few!
By the way, have I ever told you I love you taller than heaven, longer than always and with more love than can be defined? I love you boocoodles!
I miss you baby girl. Dang, I miss you so completely!
Thank you for my mother's day...for it was you who gave me my first mother's day. My first unconditional love.
Thank you for you sweetheart. With all my love, mom.
