So many years have passed from when we last saw each other. For years I had wondered where life had taken you even though the last time we saw each other was not on pleasant terms. I’m glad that we were able to connect one last time by phone, but wish we could have gotten together in person. For anyone that my read this - don’t hold grudges and make the effort to make amends with those that have been such a large part of your life. Chris - I wouldn’t be the person I am today if it weren’t for our friendship back in school.

With the passage of every day your memory grows stronger I was afraid I would forget . But no I grow stronger by the day to stand up and fight for you and your passing. I will fight to the end to find the answer of how and why. The same way I fought beside you over the years. I have only lost the ability to call and say Hi . But have not lost the love or the fight!!

Chris,
I'll remember you forever as that beautiful little boy. It's a tribute to you and your family how you've touched so many with your spirit and love. May you always rest in peace and may a smile appear on every face at the thought of you.
Love, Jayne, Paul & Christian

My Dearest Son, Would have written sooner but im still having a hard time wrapping my mind around this. when you were born i was sixteen, scared and not capable. you and i had many good times and equally as many bad. It was hard growing up with a drunk. One thing for sure I always loved you and whether we were speaking or not I did and still think of you everyday. I miss your sense of humor, your beautiful eyes and even those texts i couldnt dechiper. what I wouldnt give to get one. My heart is full of love but Heavy with sorrow My first born, if heaven exists you will be with Joshua, grandma and grandpa, they will keep you warm. with you always and forever LOVE MOM

Chris, I've tried for days to write something and struggle with the words. We've shared a long life together as friends through many of life's stages. I'm so sad that we will not have any more memories to create together. We love you Chris and I know your family knows how much you loved them even though you may not have been able to be with them the way you had expressed to me...We will be saying goodbye to you today but in reality I know you will be here with all of us, making sure we are safe..with Joe right by your side...Miss you...xoxo always

We thought of you with love today,
But that was nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday,
And the days before that, too
Now all we have is memories,
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake,
With which we'll never part.
God took you too soon and has you in his keeping.
We will hold you forever in our heart.

Chris, you are loved and will be missed.
