I have taken too long to find this memoriam and share my thoughts on the loss of this great man. My heart hurts every day for the hole he has left. and I worry constantly about how to recover. I am so grateful to have the opportunity still to see the kind words left from friends and family, unknown and curious persons, and co-workers that have successfully woven their lives and love through ours. I miss this man in a way that I will never understand, and to know that he experienced a similar loss is in some morbid way the closest bond that I have to him. Thank you, eternally, for your kindness and comforting thoughts.

I left Maui in the early 80s and married my dream girl in 85 here in Calif. Anne and I have been married 34 years thus far. If and when u get this please call me at 760-271-9493. Thx so much!

Dear Karen, Luke, Kevin and Trevor: Thank you for the beautiful and moving memorial on Friday. As you know, Chris and I were friends when we were in high school (along with Mark) because I was dating your uncle. Your entire family at that time (Grandpa Ray, Grandma Peggy and Chris) welcomed me as one of their own, and made my teenage years bearable. Your husband and father was a gift to humanity then, and remained so. I know that God's grace and mercy will surround you and keep you, and that your own special angel will be in all of our hearts forever. I am so glad I made the trip to meet you. With love,

I'm so sorry for your loss. You do not know me, but my last name is Overshiner also. I have been looking up the Overshiner name and came across this guest book. Even though I didn't know your family personally we are all Overshiners. I live in Missouri. Sometime it would be nice to talk to you about the family name. I am so impressed by the wonderful things people have said about your husband. He must have been a really nice person. And again I am so sorry.

I had the pleasure of knowing Chris and creating many stories with him. Sailing, huricane recoveries, moving your house with a crane, Thanksgivings, skiing, and watching our families grow. Stories are what keep us alive forever, and Chris made a lot of them.

We are so sorry for your loss and wish you comfort. Chris was a part of my life for the past five years as a golf travel buddy in the southern swing, including Florida and Alabama.

Karen,
I am so shocked to learn of Chris' passing. I will always remember seeing him at the many meetings supporting you! I didn't know him well, but every time I saw him and spoke with him he always had a big smile on his face and a kind word. You could tell he adored you and had a great passion for life.
Please note my thoughts & prayers are with you and the boys.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
