Chris where do I began? Today makes one year with out you and I'm no better than the first day than today. You never know how hard life can be until you lose the love of your life and best friend. I miss you to the moon and back and love you beyond the stars. Its been a tough year, you made me strong but I was nowhere near ready or prepared for this to ever happen, we were suppose to be 75 in our rocking chair beating each other with our canes. I love you baby and always will, I am blessed to have our Angel and have all the times we have together. Xoxo

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.

Chris, today makes a month since you've been gone. I think about you every single day. There are so many things I wish I would have done- I took you for granted; I just always thought you would be here. You were like a big brother to me growing up. You had my back just like Nick and Krys, & you were probably the biggest pain in the butt too. I could never be mad at you because you were always so goofy. I'm glad that I have so many memories with, and of you.
I know you've been looking over us all - and I have no doubt that you're so happy seeing how our family has come together; because of you. It's exactly what you wanted for years. I just wish you were here with us too- but whether you're here or not, you're always the life of the party.
I love you Chris- and I miss you with all my heart.

We miss you Christopher & love you so much. I have lost my best friend, you are my other half. You showed me many years of love.You were always there for me during the worst times of my life you always beleived in me and had my back even If I was wrong.
