chris i miss you so much. christmas was not the same without you. last christmas i was in shock, i really didn't know what to do. this year everything hit me all at once. so many memories about christmas's past, we had 19 to be exact. the floods of memories ran through my mind as floods of tears ran down my face. i remember how much you loved this time of year. our christmas tradition of going to grandma and grandpa's for dinner and presents, afterwards riding around looking at beautiful lights and going home to unwrap all out gifts. the sheer excitement in you eyes filled my heart. watching you and brad unwrap your gifts just made me realize it dont get better than this! i would always trick you by saying only 1 present tonight, then just let you both open all your gifts. i have so many pictures of you smiling and holding your gifts up for me to snap that moment. you know honestly nothing is the same without you, not even a trip to the grocery store :( i look at all your favorite foods every time i go. we had our vegetable casseroles only we liked, salads and especially creamed spinach with lots if cheese. i'm so thankful of all these memories. i'm so glad we were very close and could talk about everything, that meant alot to me. i'm so proud of the
man you had become. you truly loved your son so much, i could tell by the way you looked at him when you held him. anthony's first words were dada, i recall you telling me with the joy in your heart as you spoke. although i will always wonder what you would have become here on earth, i know you are truly one special angel up above. when i put out my candle in the window every night its not that i'm waiting for you to come home. i know you are home in the heavens above watching over all of us with your never ending love. i hope you still think of us as we think of you. i hope one day to see you again and hold you in my arms. until then i have my memories and a an angel to guide me through my life. i love you and wish you were here with us each and everyday. i understand why god needed you, you were truly special and the best son a mother could have asked for.

Chris its been 1 year. Still hard to believe that your gone. I miss you so much. It just don't seem like a year has pasted, seems like yesterday. I cherish all the memories I have from your birth, childhood, teenage and fatherhood. You really grew up and into a great father, son and brother. Our hearts will never be the same without you here. I know you are in heaven watching over all of us right by my parents side. We came to see you today and have the candle lit for you as well. Thanksgiving will never be the same without you, not only did you pass away on that day but you LOVED to sample all the goodies and couldn't wait for dinner! You loved everything I cooked, especially cheesecake! I still remember for your 13Th birthday instead of a cake I made you 2 cheesecakes, you were so happy! That is the kind of thoughts I have now, happy memories and so many of them. You had a great life and I'm so glad to be your mom. I only wish your time here was longer. Im very fortunate to have had 20 years with you. My only regret is not being able to talking you out of going to Alabama. I felt a strong mothers sense about that, the kinda thing moms know. I forgive myself now for I know destiny plays a role in all our lives. I know you would have been an awesome Uncle to Brad and Erica's baby girl. I love you R.I.P. baby.

Chris I'm reading all these posts from everyone who cared and loved you so much. Its almost been a year since you left us. I still think about you everyday. I miss you so much. The emptiness will never be filled in my heart. I fell your presence sometimes, thank you for watching over all of us. I really hope you have found peace, happiness and eternal life. We all will be thinking about you on November 25th and plan to visit your grave. I love you baby, RIP.

Chris, I still miss you so much! I think about you everyday and wonder if you hear me when I talk to you. I know you watch over all of us. Please keep your arms around your mom as I can only imagine what her heart must feel like. Let her know you are near and that you can see & hear her,she needs to hear this. I am so proud of the man you became. You truly are the definition of the caterpillar. Something that had been through so much emerges to be a beautiful creature. Thats you,Chris! From now on, when I see a butterfly...I will think of you :)

Chris I went to see you the other day. Brad and Little Tony were with me. Your brother misses you so much...he really does. Your dad has some really nice stuff out there for you. Im so sorry all this had to happen, but being with Grandma again is really going to help you a lot. My mom loved you so much and you were so sad for a long time when she passed in 1999. I hope you are with her and your grandpa you never met. He would have been so proud to have met you, I know he loves you and will keep his arms around you. Im doing a little better, I have my days. Little Tony needs your help, he got burnt really bad tonight and he's in a burn unit, please try to comfort him. I miss you baby and always my only wish ever would be to have you right here with me. I can only bring you justice and Im trying hard for that. Im going to work with the court here soon, I know you would like that. I just want to be able to help kids in trouble. I know that would make you proud. I will speak highly of you and keep your memory alive in every way I can. I owe that to you, and will keep that promise forever. I miss you so much, do you hear me talk to you? I do everyday. Please tell my mom and dad I love them and to take good care of you and watch down on all of us. Forever and a day baby, I will love you and let your children know what an incredible person and Daddy you were and share everything with them. I love you Chris <3 I keep my candle lit for you in the window every night and always will.

Chris there is not a day that goes by that I dont cry about you. I love you and miss you so much, you were first born. I remember you couldnt sleep well at night I slept in a chair with you cause I felt the love and trust you had for me. I watched you grow so quickly. I fixed your booboo's and dried your eyes many times. I will never let go of this pain and emptiness in my heart. Im so sorry you left us so soon. I planned on so many years and just took it for granted thats how it would be. Very soon all the tests will be back and you can rest in peace. I still wish every night I could turn back that clock and go get you and have you right here. I wanted so much more out of life for you. You have a gorgeous son who looks just like you, and I hope your daughter will as well. Im so overcome by emotion at all times because this isn't how it should have ended. I just want you to know I think about you all the time. I hope your with Grandma, she can make it all better. I know you both missed each other so much. Scott and Brad are having a hard time with this as well. Your Uncle Tony and little Tony are as well, just so devastated this has happened. Its the hardest thing we have ever went through. I missed you so much when you were away, we couldn't talk and for us that was not right. we talked on a daily basis. I know you were so homesick as well. I just pray justice is served to all those involved and you then will be at peace....I love you toot toot, I will never forget you or stop loving you.

Chris Ive been thinking about you tonight. Looking at a lot of old pictures. You really had a great childhood baby. Mom took you so many places and we did so much. Im so thankful for them memories. The biggest smiles were when Id get you the "freshest kicks", new shoes, oh how well you loved shoes! You know you got that from your mom! I even showed you how to keep them looking brand new and you did it the best! I miss you so much, I really do. Im thankful we had that talk not long ago and you told me what you wanted. I wont let you down NEVER. Its my responsibility to honor your wishes. Im coming to bring you some pretty flowers tomorrow, the ones you always got for me <3 I love you baby and I always will, you were my world and you still are.

A Very Special Angel Watching Over Me From Above

Chris as I sit here with my eyes full of tears
My only wish is that we could have shared so many more years
I know if you were here you'd dry my tears
You would tell me thats there is nothing more for me to fear
For the rest of my life you will be right here
My heart is still filled with all of your love
For I know you are a very special angel watching over me from above

This is dedicated to Christopher Shane Martin, from mom. I will love you forever and a day until we meet again baby <3

The new year is not the same without you.
I know my life will never be the same without you as well. Im trying really hard baby. There are so many more years I wanted to share with you. I feel like you should just be here with us. I was 20 when I gave birth to you and you were gone shortly after you turned 20. I miss you with every beat of my broken heart. I keep thinking how can I go on without you? I feel so guilty of doing normal activities without you. I know I have to "get used" all this. But as a mom I dont think I ever will. Just know I will never forget you and my love will always be here for you and in my heart. You are so sadly missed by many people. I love you Chris and hope you rest in peace soon. My only thoughts are you are just gone to soon. It was not your time, and Im working hard for you, please know that. I love you forever and a day...no distance will ever separate us ever. You forever changed my life in 1990 when I had you. I have all these memories which Im so fond of and will always cherish. You meant the world to me and you always will.

Cynthia Smith

New Years was not the same without you. I held your picture in my hand at midnight. Just like every New Years I gave you at kiss. I will never get over loosing you, tonight was really hard for all of us. You were in our hearts. Your memories will carry us through the rest of our life and your children will know what a wonderful father and son you were. You will never be forgotten. Forever and a day until we meet again baby <3 I love you.

Chris this is my 1st New Years Eve without you. Its going to be really hard for me today. I remember when you went to a friends house down the road. You came running in at 11:50 out of breath and asked did I make it in time? Oh how I wish you could do that this year. I miss you...I cant say that enough. I can promise you this, when that clock strikes 12 you will be in my heart baby. I love you forever and a day....that will never change <3

This is dedicated to My Son
Christopher Shane Martin R.I.P.

"From The Very Start"

From the very start
When I first heard the tiny flutter of your heart
I knew that you were so very special when I first laid my eyes on you on your very first day
I bowed my head down to god and prayed
Thank you lord for this beautiful child
For everything I went through was so worth while
I counted all your fingers and toes
I loved you more and more as I watched you grow
For it was you that showed me what it was to truly love
As I held your hand throughout the years
That fit was perfect just like a glove
Although right now my eyes are full of tears
Its because I wanted to see you for many more years
Even if I knew your time here would be cut short
I wouldn't have changed a thing from the very start.

Cynthia Smith

December 27, 2010

Chris you have been gone for over a month now. I love you and miss you so much. We had over a foot of snow yesterday. You brother is building the biggest igloo and said he wants you to be able to see it from heaven. He misses you so much baby. He loves you with all his heart. He has been outside working on this non stop for you. I hope you can see it and just know its a token of his love for you <3 We all miss you and we will cherish your memory for the years to come. <3

I love you and hope you had Christmas in Heaven. I feel so lost with out you...I really do. Sometimes I feel you presence and I know you are not at peace yet. I pray soon baby..I love you

Chris, you will be missed dearly not just by me but by everyone. You had such a good heart and you were such a good person just like your mom. Everyone loves you and we will cherish every moment we had with you and remember all the good times and reminise everything. i still remember going to the skating rink with you and coming over your house and your mom just reminded me of the times you would sing to me we had a lot of good times and you will always be in my heart. i will see you again one day with a smile and a hug. Thank you for just being the person you were I'm glad to have known you, rip.

Cynthia Smith

December 20, 2010

Chris I feel like here we go again. I know we have already had 2 services for you baby. I couldn't go through with the cremation. I cried and cried every night thinking about it. Your Uncle Tony gave me the most precious gift. You have a place you will be thats beautiful. You will be right beside Uncle Tony's Dad. I have your presents I was sending and I keep them by my pillow at night. I know you see me cry baby. I cant help it, I love you so much. I just keep thinking of the last time I hugged you at the airport on 6-23-10 @1:10pm. I remember we both squeezed each other so hard with tears in our eyes. You had never been away from home and I worried about you everyday. When you could get a chance to call me I would run to that phone. Tomorrow is the day you will finally be laid to rest. I cant sleep, eat or keep any other thoughts. I miss you so much baby, oh my god I do. I have prayed to god to reverse all this, take me and let you open your eyes and live your life. Because having you and your brother made my life. I wanted to see you older with Anthony coming to see Grandma. I had thoughts of having yours and his favorite foods ready for you. Just as your Nanny used to do. Now all that is gone. Just memories. I know we had the best memories ever with all the trips and Busch Gardens every year since you were 5. But its just not enough, never will be...a part of me will always be missing. PLease be there with me tomorrow to hold me tight. Everything I do, everywhere I go...it reminds me of you. Ive been home a lot lately. I feel Ive lost a part of myself-you. Scott has missed alot of work, we are all so upset. Gone to soon baby, just gone to soon. I fought for you with all my heart all your life. I know what you need me to do...and Im doing all I can plus some. You will rest in peace soon and get to them gates, I promise you this. I will love you forever and a day. When its my time, I will meet you with my Mom and Dad. So this isnt a goodbye, never that. I love you with all my heart. Thank you for being my son, Im so proud of who you became. When you called me a few weeks before you died and thanked me for everything Ive ever done for you, you will never know how that touched my heart. You also said that to Scott. When you mentioned what all you had done, I told you then...its a mothers job and I hope I did well. You said more then enough. I hope you are an angel watching over us, Id love to know you are right here beside me sometimes. I have felt that. I hope you get to them gates and live on forever. Just remember to tell my mom and dad I love them and miss them so much as well.

Chris its snowing. I know how much you loved loved it! I really will miss you sneaking up and throwing snowballs :-( I hope you can see it, its so pretty. But its not the same with out you here, nothing really is. Will my heart ever be the same, I dont think so. You were my 1st born. I had never even held a little baby. It reminded me of you with Anthony. You held him as though he was so delicate. I knew you were mad when the Doctor was pulling here tugging there and you said to me OMG mom whats he doing. Baby I miss you, my heart is so broken. It dont even feel like Christmas at all. That was your most favorite time of year. I put your frog stuff you got me over the years on my head board. I have everything I was going to send you and Anthony here. Words just cant express how much I love you and miss you. <3

You were the 1st to hold him, so delicately..these I will cherish forever.

I love you Chris, Its another one of those nights. I cant sleep. All I think about is you. I planned on seeing you grow up, watching you with your children and just being that grandma for Anthony like your nanny. You know Nanny loved you...she wouldnt let me change a diaper cause she wanted it just right. I know how much you cried and missed her, well baby find her...go to her and meet my daddy too, They will both have welcome arms. I just keep thinking what I would give for a more hour with you. I know Id hold you tight and tell you everything I wished I would have. Although the I love you's were there. But more about our Cherokee Indian history and how Nanny used to watch cowboy and Indian movies and get mad when the cowboys would win! I miss you baby, you were gone away for almost 6 months. I wish I could have talked to you more. I love you with all my heart <3 Today, tomorrow and always <3

I never got the chance to meet you Chris, but if you are anything at all like your mother and aunt I KNOW you are a great soul. My sympathies go out to Cynthia and Theresa as well as the rest of the family members hurting by the all too early passing of this young man. Just know that you all have an extra angel up there watching over you now. God only takes the best.
Love you. If there is anything I can do let me know. I'll try to help in any way I can.

I love you Chris. Im sitting here and cant sleep. Moms is so worried about everything. Im so honored to have had you in my life. Seeing your son born was the most amazing moment Ive ever experienced. Although there were not many people there to see this miracle, its was who mattered the most and loved you with all their heart. I will never forget the love in your eyes when you 1st held Anthony. I forever cherish in my heart I was a part of seeing Anthony grow in Scotti's stomach and watching him from day one to the time you left for Alabama. He was 10 months old when I seen him last. Im so sorry this happened to you, you didn't deserve to be taken away so young or even at all. You made me a promise about Anthony, I will honor that as I did all your choices. Your children will be told everyday what a great father, son and man you were. My words are heart spoken, not copied, not rehearsed and meant to try and ease your worries and help you get to those gates. Im taking care of your unfinished business, I knew you would want that. We shared such a connection that still after death is there. It shows me love has no boundaries even after death.

Hey chris im not sure if you can or cant read this, but no matter what
i know god will take care of you and our family through this, and hell
also give you mine and everyone elses message in some way; but i love
you soo much and you were a great big brother, funny at the most and
confident to succeed with always buying and selling clothes and games
and other stuff to stay looking good and on top with your looks:) but
this was too much for you to leave, and all i can think of is how you
left us 2 kids to take care of which i will try to be a great uncle
to, as much i can;and to hear you started going to church, and how you
got saved before your time ended made me very happy to think i KNOW
ill see you when its my time to go. So i love you alot Chris and ill
do my best to make sure love is with all...love you.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane. i would walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. No farewell words were spoken. no time to say goodbye. you were gone before I knew it and only God knows why. My heart still aches with sadness and secret tears still flow. What it meant to love you no one could ever know. But now I know you want me to mourn for you no more. to remember all the happy times life still has much more in store. since you'll never be forgotten. I pledge to you today a hollowed place with in my heart is where you will always stay. I love you big man

thank you for the love you gave to all of us

Oh Chris, what I would give to just hear you say "Aunt Melissa" just one more time! I miss your smile so much. I havent seen you as m,uch as I should have in the last 2 years but I will make this promise to you...Ill never put anything before my family again! I'll never again hear your laugh, your jokes or your pranks. I cant count how many times I would call your house and you would change your voice and act like I had the wrong number. You loved life so much! I just dont understand how you are not here to enjoy it any more! Someone told me once that you arent TRULY dead until you are forgotten, well, if thats the case, you will never die! I will never forget you, Chris! Not in this lifetime!

Chris I loved you like you were my own son. You were very special to me and I hold many memories dear. I can still remember the day you rode your bike for the 1st time without training wheels. You turned to me as if to say hey Im doing it!!! You hit a privacy fence and said a few choice words. I seen you grow from a toddler, boy, teen, man and father. You really grew up and Im so proud of you. Anthony is you through and through. I know you were so happy I love your son and he loves me as well. Im glad I was there for you and would never change that for the world. I miss you Chris and love you so much. Im proud to have had the honor to have you as my step-son, it really was more than that. I tried to post earlier on here, but every time I just fought back tears because I didnt want any of this to be true and real. I just wished I could have seen you grow older, as well as your children with you. I knew in my heart you were an awesome dad. Im so sorry this has happened and wish you peace and that you find the way to those golden gates. If anyone deserved that you sure do. Rest in peace my son...I love you and you are forever in my heart.

To all of Chris's family and his fiance Scotti, I am so sorry to hear about your loss and you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Chris was one of a kind, he had a wonderful personality and was very polite and respectful when he was at my house visiting my son or anywhere around adults and people, he was a sweet person who did like to make people laugh. We will definitely miss him.

To Family & Friends: I am so sad to hear about Chris' passing. He was always so polite, respectful and funny; we all enjoyed knowing him. He had empathy for others, which is rare in teenagers, and was especially kind and considerate to his mother. I hope it gives you some comfort to know that Chris touched many people who remember him with fondness.
I regret that I cannot attend the funeral tomorrow because I have a prior commitment with my mother. May Chris' memory be a blessing for you in the days and years to come.
