Dear Peter and Chris' Family,

I just recently learned of Chris' passing. I am so so saddened by the news. Chris was such a dear friend to me growing up and I will never forget the talks, bus rides during basketball season, and other good times in High School. He has left us much too soon. May your happy memories with Chris comfort you during this holiday season. God Speed to one great "big brother" !

I met Chris at the Brain Tumor Center at MGH while working at the front desk. It was a pleasure to get to know him and I am very sorry to hear of his passing.

Please accept my condolences.

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.

My deepest sympathies to the Brown family.

I have such great memories of Chris. I have missed him every day since he left EDC. I arrive to work at 7:00, so I would see Chris every morning when he opened the building. Chris already worked at EDC when I started in 1997, so it was so much a part of my morning routine that I truly missed it once Chris left.

He is in a better place now and God is lucky to have him.

I pray that your fond memories of Chris will help you cope with your loss.

I wish to express my sincere condolences. What a blessing it will be when we can all experience the Bible's promise at Isaiah 33:24: "And no resident will say: “I am sick.” The people that are dwelling in the land will be those pardoned for their error."

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of sorrow. May your memories bring you comfort.

God looked around His garden and found an empty place. He then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful He always takes the best. He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb, so He closed your weary eyelids and whispered “Peace be thine”. It broke our hearts to lose you but you didn’t go alone, for part of us went with you the day God called you home.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well-lived.

My condolescence to the Brown Family.

I will always remember Chris as a very gentle person who when I was looking for Basketball Coaches in our Youth League in Walpole in the late 80’s……. Chris was always open to coaching and referee games along with his brother Peter.

He brought calmness to his teams he coached. I am indebted to his time given to the program and enjoyment he brought the youth of Walpole.

Respectfully
