To Chrissy - Today is going to be a hard day. Even though each day without you is hard, today even more so. It is hard to imagine that 10 Years ago you were taken from this earth and from everyone who loved you dearly. I remember every detail of that day June 25, 2011, and every voice I heard from California to Minnesota. I miss everything about, but I know in my heart, you are with me. I LOVE you sis with all my heart. Until we meet again, Lisa -

Wasn't able to sleep, you've been on my mind all day and night. In just a few hours it will mark the 5th anniversary of your death. It's so sad and hard for me to believe that it has been five years. I've been looking at old photos, and I came across my Impact Statement that I sent and read to the judge. I still remember that day like it was yesterday. I will be at the baseball fields today scorekeeping for our town baseball league, just as I was keeping score for Taylor when I heard the news. I hope are able to pop in on those who are honoring you today. I love and miss you with all my heart. Until we meet again....

I have been thinking about you a lot lately and I know that tomorrow is one of your favorite days of the year. I will be thinking of you as I do every day and wish you a Happy St. Patrick's Day. I just wanted to also say thank you for watching over Michael while he was away on duty and for bringing him home safe to Mom and Dad. Thank you also for keeping an eye on the rest of us. As you know Dean, Bridget, Max and Sam have lost their son and brother, George. I didn't think it would affect me as much as it is starting to, because I didn't really know him. But because he and the Paitich Family were a part of your life for so long, it's starting to hit home. I can't believe that the two of you were taken so young. I hope you were able to greet him with open arms and are able to guide him as he needs. Please watch over his mom, dad, brothers and the entire extended family for me as you did for us. I love and miss you so and wish every day you were still here. As dad always say until next time, God Bless You.
Love,

We do not need a special day
To bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you
Are very hard to find.
Each morning when we awake,
We know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache
As we try to carry on.
Our hearts still ache with sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know.
Our thoughts are always with you,
Your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly;
In death we love you still,
There will always be a heartache,
And often a silent tear.
But always a precious memory
Of the days when you were here.
If tears could make a staircase,
And heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you home again.
We hold you close within our hearts;
And there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives
Until we meet again.
Our family chain is broken now,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
Happy Birthday - I love and miss you loads. Until next time....

Since my family placed a cross for my brother on the side of the road where he was hit and killed in Ohio, I notice the crosses I see on the side of the road. My heart breaks because I know the reality of what they mean now. I don't know you or your family, but I drive past the cross for Christine on 47 several times a week and pray for your family each time I do. I'm so sorry for your loss. I wish no one had to feel this kind of pain.

Chrissy,
As your birthday soon approaches I continue to struggle and try and understand why someone so precious as you was taken from us. The daily pain of not having you here with us still lingers ever so strong. My heart was broken the day you were taken from us. I truly miss being able to pick up the phone and talk to you or even seeing you at dad's house playing with the boys and hearing your contagious laugh. I so miss you giving me a hug and telling me that you love me whenever we parted ways for the day. I pray that one day my tears of pain will turn.
Please know that we will be thinking about you with so much love on your birthday – as we do every day.
I love and miss you so much Chrissy!
Your big brother.

As your birthday draws closer and closer the pain of you not being here grows deeper and deeper. The beauty of all that you are both inside and out is so desperately missed by all of us who love you so much. Our world will never be the same without your infectious smile to brighten our day but we have hope in knowing that you are watching down on us and that we will be with you again. I love you. Your older sis Ang.

Christine,
I went to the the Annual Bar None dinner with Sean on the 5th and it seemed so different without you there. They renamed the Counselor of the Year Award in honor of you and I think you'd be so happy to know that Sean won the award this year! It was a very touching moment in so many ways. I just feel that you are watching down on him and would be so proud. You are still so missed. Jennifer

My Cousin Chrissy,
There is not a day that does by that i dont think about you. It has been so many years since we really spent time together but every memory of being up north at grandma and grandpas includes you. Fireworks and riding the four wheelers and being yelled at for switching into gears we wernt suppose to. sledding down the hill.. swimming in the pool and playing in the other camper so we wouldnt bother everyone else. i think they just wanted us to get away from them so they always sent us there. When we got in trouble for hitchhiking to the store.. oppps...i think of all the sleepovers we had when we were younger and the birthday parties you would have with all your friends and katie and i would always be invited too. Playing at all the softball games while Sandy and Lynn played softball. And how can anyone of us cousins forget every holiday at Jerry and Sues where we couldnt wait to go downstairs and run in circles around the ping pong table and make Dan be the person underneath that has to try and catch us. :) of course Robb would come down and play too. :) Having Thanksgiving at grandmas on Thomas and sitting on the steps to eat... i am pretty sure you taught me how to put corn in my mash potatoes and gravy... so good!! Well i just wanted to tell you that you were a part of my life that includes some really good memories.. Keep watching over us all down here you are missed by everyone more and more everyday.

Isaiah and romie miss you more and more every day. It makes me cry every time I am alone and want to talk to you. You were the best sister/friend I could ever have and no one is going to take that place in my heart I have for you. Thank you for all the lectures and advice you gave me. I am on my way to make you so proud. I love you chrissy so much.

Chrissy, I've been struggling with what to say for over a month now. I want you to know that I love you and miss you so much, I miss your big brown eyes, beautiful smile and sweet giggle. We shared a special bond even before you were born, I went to all of the birth classes with Sandy and of course when the time came, I thought sleeping was more important, wish I could take that back but when thinking back on it, Mom and Dad went in my place, from that moment on you formed a very special bond with them that could never be broken, I know in my heart you and Dad are looking down upon us and wishing we weren't all so sad but I don't know how we will heal from this, you made such a difference in every life that you touched, God must have really needed you for something special to take you from us now at this time in your life. Sandy, Sam, Tom and the entire family, I will be here for you whenever you need and can only look towards the times we can talk about Chrissy with smiles and not sadness.
July 14, 2011
SAM AND SANDY, WE CAN'T KNOW WHY SOME THINGS HAPPEN. BUT WE CAN KNOW THAT LOVE AND BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES OUTLAST THE PAIN OF GRIEF.AND WE CAN KNOW THAT THERE'S A PLACE INSIDE THE HEART WHERE LOVE LIVES ALWAYS.AND WHERE NOTHING BEAUTIFUL CAN EVER BE FORGOTTEN. IF I'VE LEARNED ANYTHING THROUGH THE YEARS IS THAT THOSE WE CHERISH WILL ALWAYS LIVE ON IN OUR MEMORIES FOREVER. MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU ALWAYS HOLLYWOOD

To the Flaherty and Paitich families,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you through this tragic time. Christine was so wonderful of a person to be taken away so soon. I only have good memories of her from highschool. Her smile was always bright and contagious and she was always so kind and big hearted. Though i have not seen her in years, hearing of this makes my heart break. I will miss you Christine.

Per my Dad's Request:
Rick’s Eulogy
One of the things I will miss most about Chrissy is when her and Tom were together. Chrissy and Tom together were one of a kind. You were always guaranteed some sort of comedy show. If you never had the opportunity to be around them both you missed out on something special...and I will miss that.
One of my best memories of Chrissy was the time when her and I went Christmas shopping together at the mall. Well, I had never been shopping with her before so I really didn’t know what I was in for. Well, needless to say, Chrissy was in the same store for 2 ½ hours. I think Chrissy tried on just about every article of clothing possible. I actually felt sorry for the sales girls that were helping her. They had A LOT of clothes to put back. I could have gone and seen a movie and come back it took so long...But I will always cherish that time I spent with her.
I’ll always value my relationship with Chrissy. Her and I were always clowning on each other constantly and just giving each other a hard time but whenever we were done talking or seeing each other she always said “Bye, Love ya”!
Chrissy not only loved her Mother, Father, Tom, brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews but she also cherished and loved all her friends and coworkers and truly valued those relationships…They meant so much to her.
Chrissy had such great qualities: Her smile was contagious and her kindness and ability to comfort others was unparalleled. She was a great friend who was always there for you no matter what.
The other day we were sitting around the house and my dad mentioned a story about Chrissy when she was younger. She was up north at grandma Mary’s and they wanted to go for a walk on the trails near the campground. Well, Mary said to Chrissy, “What if we run into a bear”. Chrissy said “Don’t worry grandma, I’ll protect you!” So they take off on their walk and a short time into their walk they actually see a bear. No sooner had they seen that bear and Chrissy was gone….She took off and ran all the way back to the campfire leaving poor Mary on the trail all by herself.
That story made me reflect a bit. From that point on I can’t think of any obstacles or challenges in Chrissy’s life that she would run away from and not just face them head on and conquer them.
Now, we to have a difficult and painful obstacle in front of us but we must try and tackle it in the same manner and spirit in which Chrissy would.
Dad, Sandy and Tom……I am and always will be here for you!
Chrissy…..I LOVE YOU!!!!
Terri McLafferty

Also to Christine's family and friends. We are all on earth only to add something good to it. People learn from us. We lead by example. We leave everlasting impressions on people that we don't even know. Strangers. Our small kindnesses, our kind words and especially our SMILES. We all have one and if we see someone without one, let's give them ours. As I mentioned in my other entries, I didn't know Christine, but according to you all, she served her purpose on earth and did everything mentioned above. We all have a purpose. Everyone try to realize what you are truly good at and use it to better the lives of others. Family, friends and even total strangers. Just a smile goes a long way.

Chrissy was a great role model for me growing up. Her kindness, words of wisdom, and contageous smile will always be a part of me. "When angels visit us, we do not hear the rustle of wings, nor feel the feathery touch of the breast of a dove; but we know their presence by the love they create in our hearts." RIP Christine.

Thank you for being with me last Friday. It really meant a lot to me. I was very touched by "your kids" and how much they cared for you.

A loved one is a treasure of the heart and to lose a loved one is like losing a piece of yourself.
But the love that Chrissy brought you...did not leave, for the essence of the soul lingers. It cannot escape your heart, for it has been there forever. Cling to the memories and let them find their way to heal you. The love and laughter, the joy in the togetherness you shared...will make you strong.
You'll come to realize that your time together, no matter how long, was meant to be, and that you were blessed to have such a precious gift of love in your life. Keep your heart beating with the loving memories and trust in your faith to guide you through.
Know that though life moves on...the beauty of love stays behind to surround and embrace you. Chrissy has left you that...to hold in your heart forever.
