Yesterday i went up to Graces ... we had your favorite Boston Cream Pie... and my usual yearly shot of tequila to celebrate you. I remember in the days after you left us and i went to your truck to get something for Breanna. That white butterfly you sent landed on my index finger ring that has the Footprints in the Sand engraved on the inside.. that butterfly stayed on my ring for so very long. I knew you were telling us you were ok.
And last night driving home in the dark i passed your Jeep hill on route4...i always look in the daytime to try to find those ruts on that hill. They are almost totally gone which makes me sad.... But last night after 10pm on that dark night there were 2 bright headlights going down that hill. You were there. I felt joy.. and cant wait to see you again... but i got to see you last night in my heart of hearts. Love and miss you so much. Mom

Chris,
I woke up this morning with you on my mind. I always carry you with me every day because I could never not think of you when I am thinking of Jamie. For me you are on heart - hand in hand but this morning it was more. You were on my heart and mind extra today! I am not sure why, but I felt it was it was important to just leave a message of LOVE! I am sending you and my Jamie extra hugs and LOTS OF LOVE today. I feel you both in my heart everyday always not a day goes by that you and Jamie are not with me that will never change. Hold each other close and please watch over everyone that loves and misses you both!

Dear Chris,
Today is a celebration of your life. I hope your mother is remembering the first moment of seeing your face , the first moment she held you , and the first time you wrapped your little fingers around hers. I know she misses you because I feel the same way about Jamie. I hope today she remembers every moment that you just took her breathe away, every moment that you made her smile and every moment that you your love was the warmth she needed and if she holds on to all those memories hopefully it will help her heart today! Happy Birthday Chris!

Hearts broke when you left us dear.. 9 years and miss you everyday. Little Ben has moments to make it feel like you still are here through him and talks about you all the time. I know how broken you were when Jamie left and I only wish we could turn back time and bring you both back home.. and I pray your home now is more awesome than imaginable. Fly high. Missing you so. I love this picture of you and Grace.... her lil Ben is a carbon copy of you

Jamie's Mommy

August 29, 2019

Dear Chris,
I think about you every single day how could I not when I think about Jamie. I feel like this was just yesterday and then a lifetime ago. I wonder if I will ever stop crying and then I am just so thankful to have been so blessed. I talk about you and Jamie daily it seems. People come to me anytime they know someone who has lost a child looking for some divine words to help another mother thru this and I dont have any but I always tell them one thing. NEVER in my life have I ever done something or will ever do something that has made me worthy of being blessed with my children and yet God gave me four amazing children anyway! Today and every day I try to be a good mother and I never take for granted the gift I have been given. I am sure your mother feels the same! We were and are blessed to have had our time with you and Jamie even now knowing what would do how the heartache we endure daily from missing you both so much. We are just thankful for the time we had we wanted more but YOU BOTH ARE PRICELESS! God has you in his presence in Heaven and we carry you in our hearts, in our memories, and in our core! I love you both more today and that love continues to grow! Chris hold on to my Angel and know we will all be together again when God calls us home!

Chris,
I think about you and Jamie everyday! EVERYDAY! This morning I was thinking it feels like yesterday that you both were gone and then it feels like forever too. There will never be a day that goes by that I do not imagine what could have been and it might be my very crazy brain or my VERY broken heart but I always imagine you too together raising children and living happily ever after. Some day's it makes me cry and some day's it makes me smile imagining it and then I cry. Please kiss my girl for me and tell her to kiss you back.
You both are forever living in my heart

Dear Chris,
Today my heart is so heavy thinking of you and Jamie. Thinking of your mother because I know how I feel. I have typed and deleted 50 different sentences because I guess I am not sure how to explain how much you both are loved and missed. It is more than words could ever say. A broken emptiness in our hearts. Please know there is never a day that passes that we are not sending our love to both of you! Hold each other and send your light down to your mother and me.

Mom

September 24, 2014

Chris,
I think of you and Jamie everyday! You left this world four years ago today and I know Jamie was waiting for you! I know you are hand in hand! I still dream of you to together starting your lifes together. Watch over us Chris and hold my Jamie tight!

August 29, 2014

Vicky,
Thank you so much for your message! Honey may I please have your email address. I started to write you but I really have so much I hope you will be able to understand. Only you could possible understand. I am not healing! I am surviving. Everyday is a struggle. I am terrified that I will live the rest of my life just like this. I still dream of Chris and Jamie together and growing old together. I can't tell you how much it means to me that you reach out to me.

September 15, 2012

my dearest Christopher, it's
all still unreal to me that you aren't here with me. the memories seem as if they were just yesterday. whether we were hanging out with my
mom & bob , or "meesh & bobage" as you called them, Cruisin in your jeep, eatin out, or just being lazy together... every memory is so precious to me. you will ALWAYS have half
of my heart. I will never be able to get that half back. the break in my heart is still so tremendous and there are still so many unanswered questions that keep me up at night.... but
I think of your beautifulness, your perfect face, smile and loving nature and I can't help but smile with tears of happiness to have known you. you have forever touched my
life and as you said, we are soul mates and always will be. when I need advice or someone to talk to... it's still you. I'll always love you cwitofuh. forever and a day. I look for a sign every night in the stars that you are okay.
love, your honey bre

August 28, 2012

You live on inside so many hearts dear. Miss you so. There just aren't any words to ever even begin to explain how much you are missed. Love you. Your Momma

Vicky,
I'm sure you don't remember me. I worked in the NICU at CMC during your residency. I remember you struggling through your pregnancies and residency. Today I just heard of your loss 2 years ago. My heart broke for you as I lost my daughter the day before Chris died in similar circumstances. I certainly know your feelings during that time as I was also there with you in shock and grief. I also know how you still feel; it doesn't go away does it? I have a facebook memorial site for my daughter and I find it helps to just go there and read or write like you do here. I will keep you in prayer; I know we need it. If you would like to exchange emails with me and share your grief and feelings I would love that. [email protected]

June 23, 2012

Dear Chris,
I read the words you momma write and I understand her hurt only to well. I seen in the Germantown Press that Jenna D had a baby and I think about Jamie. Would she be having babies by now and if so would they look like you or her? I know that sounds so silly to feel that way but I know she had peace with you and happiness with you, if only for a short time. She felt safe with you and I know that for fact because I read the words she wrote to you the day before she died. She had a comfort with you that she needed and loved.I think she would have held your hand forever!!!! I think of you always because I think of her always. I know you two are together and I know you are both with God! I know we will see you again someday but that seems so far away, yet time has passed by so fast. My sister found an old picture of Jamie the other day and she seems like a dream to me it has been so long but yet I see that amazing smile that took my breathe away, a happiness that was oozing out of the picture. You and Jamie please watch down on me, your mom and your siblings we still need you and if you can give us a little sign every once in a while to let us know that you are there. I love you both so much and I think about you both everyday! You are forever with me! Both of you because when I think of her I think of you! Remember mom's love like no one else can or ever will. We hold you in our hearts forever because you are part of our hearts. Both of our hearts have a lot of hurt because we miss you both so much but we both hold on to our eternal love for both of you and it grows stronger everyday!
Love,
Jamie's Mommy

Went to hear a group called Mountain Heart with our friends last night. Kept my dark glasses on so no one could see the tears as I watched the awesome guitar dudes in flannel shirts and torn up jeans play. Could only think of you. I love you and miss you dearly. Your momma

Love you honey. Love Mom

December 19, 2011

Dear Chris
I miss you so. I just don't know what to say. I want to believe that this all is still a dream and just hear your jeep roar in the alley. Bubba always heard it long before us and would get up and go to the back door.. And I'd just like to just hear you say "awesome" the way you always did. Everyday a song or a word or a jeep or a tattoo or some guy in a tattered pair of jeans or a team or a show like Eastbound and down... Or a box of legos or a Dr Seuss book. All these things just take my breathe away and for a few seconds it is so hard to breathe. So very hard. You will always be so alive in my heart. I love you so and miss you so.
Mom

Dear Chris,
It will be a year tomorrow and I know for your family it feels like it has been forever and yet just yesterday all in the same. I just want your family to know there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you! When I think of Jamie I think of you! I think how they feel and how hard it is. You will be forever loved and forever remembered. I know you are with Jamie and I know that you are both flying the Heavens. Please just keep watching over us and send those Angel kisses to us everyday! We will all be together again!
With Love,
Jamie's Mom

Vicky, Barry, Grace, and Abby,
There truly are no words one can say that will reflect the depth of the sadness or the vacancy suddenly felt in your souls. They say time heals all wounds,but from having my Husband lose his brother 8 years ago at 21, I've found it heals as it changes you and gives you light at the end of the tunnel way beyond these very dark days. He will always be near:in your heart, your thoughts, the essence around you everyday. It's one day at a time,one minute at a time. Our hearts, prayers and understanding is with you every step of the way.

I'll never forget the Jeep Jams with Chris. It was so much fun having him and Kalen around for those...people I could relate to.

One time we got stuck in my Jeep going into the creek at "West Acres" and I have an awesome picture of Chris in the back as we're getting tugged out of the hole. I'll never forget the great Grape Ape and her friendly driver!

Another memory is of the numerous off-road outings to Grandma's property. We had a lot of fun out there and Chris was always a great addition to the Muddy Buddys Jeep Club.

I can't wait to see him again.

Never expected to hear the news that day

couldn't get it through my head, theres no way

not a better person anybody could ever find

the hands of time i wish i could rewind

thanks for the great times we had

and all the memories we made

some good and some bad

now we sit back and watch those days begins to fade

im still thinking this can not be real

why our best friend did you have to steal?

to our knees we all begin to kneel

a prayer for your family and friends we will send

our love we lend for their hearts we will tend

for this is not goodbye,

we'll see you again in the end.

To the Taylor family,
I know we didn't really know each other but Mrs. Taylor you and Chris were there the day my daughter died. I remember seeing you setting and waiting to hear. I remember Chris coming back and saying his good bye's to my daughter. They had spent the last few weeks of her life together. As I went through her room that night I found a letter that she had wrote him and it talked about how much fun they had. I gave it to Chris and he wrote back to her and placed in her coffin. I know you family has watched tremendous losses but I also know this is one of the greatest losses of all, your child. I know there are no words that ease this pain but I do know they are rejoicing in Heaven. Another Angel has come to the Pearly Gates and I know that my daughter was waiting on him. She welcomed him with open arms!! They are flying together with their wings spread wide. My heart breaks for you all! Grace was very special to my daughter also and I know she has had heart ache too! Remember we will see them again and just like Jamie was waiting for Chris they will be waiting for us. What a day it will be when my Jesus and our children we shall see! My prayers are with you all.

To the Taylor Family,
We are so sorry to hear about your loss. Although you don't know us, my daughter graduated with Chris. We live on Plum Street and always saw Chris come by through the alley. We pray that you find peace in the coming days as you go through this difficult time.

"When it's all over, it's not who you were. It's whether you made a difference."

- It is amazing how something so terrible can bring so many people together. CT, you made such a huge difference in everyone's lives, your life had an impact on every one that you met and everyone you knew. I am so thankful for the opportunity that I was given to meet you and become your friend. My heart hurts and my eyes tear up when I think about you, it is too hard to say good bye so soon. We are all going to miss you, and be thinking about you every single day. You will never be forgotten. Love you man, and I'll see you again someday. May you rest in peace.
