Steve, Janet and family. Our hearts are saddened by your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Christopher's life was lived with a dignity that only those who suffer the burden of debilitation can understand. He lived his life full of hope and love fully expressed for those who knew him and cared for him and loved his fine soul. What doth Almighty God require but that we love and honor Our Lord God and love our fellow human beings as we love ourselves. That is the measure of a life well lived, not the length. Christopher is with his God, he is with Our Savior, Jesus Christ, he is with his loved ones who have gone before him into the Kingdom of God. We follow along until we slip the bonds of earth and join them in eternity. God bless and be with us all who remain behind. Much love to my family, Elaine Feazell Szemkus.

The only thing that exceeds my tremendous sense of loss is the huge feeling of DEEP pride in having known such a courageous and brave person as he was. May he show all in heaven how its really done. -from Mike Sandier
