Christopher M. Poston Obituary

Always thinking of you Chris! Not one day passes where I don´t miss you, I always have the amazing times we had to remember you! My angel, I will always love you!

When I see hummingbirds looking in my window, I know it’s you. When butterflies fly right up to me, I know it’s you. When I see dragonflies and they land on my hand, I know it’s you. You letting me know you’re ok, you’re at peace, and that you will always be watching over me. There’s not a day that goes by and I envision the man you’d be today. I see other men your age and wish I could have the opportunity to see you. I brag about you, how you came into my life and saved me. 20 years of you in my mortal life was not enough time, be I’m grateful to still have you in an eternal life and I await the day when it’s my time so we can see each other again. I miss and love you so much son! Mom

Chris, Uncle Jonny hear. As you know I am with brother Veterans. Our extended family. I can feel when you are urging God to keep me close. Thankfully and proud to have as my nephew. Love never ends. See you on the other side. Urah!! Marine, you were AGAPE to many

Dear Chris,
You came to live eternally in my heart. Thank you for loving me and you bringing life with to your beautiful and grateful Spirit by being a brief part of my life. Keep souring high like an Eagle.
Nana

I think of you often. The world has been worse without you. Your smile still brings me joy. I miss you.

Stand easy Marine, we still have the watch.

Always thinking of you brother.

I miss you and often see your light reflection of who you would have become in other young men's lights that I meet on this journey here and now shining and sharing their gifts. Thank you for your gift of being the Grandson I knew you would be, loving, brave and full of joy and laughter.

To the family and friends of Lance Cpl. Christopher M. Poston:
Please accept my remembrance of Christopher on the anniversary of his passing and know that he will never be forgotten.

walking to school through dirt fields with grocery bags around our shoes so they wouldnt get dirty, reciting lines from jamie foxx stand up "i might need security" borrowing each others clothes, the way you would make people laugh when you knew they were mad or sad...i think about you a lot, and im still sad your gone, but at the same time, when thinking about you i cant help but laugh, or at least crack a smile.-- See you soon

Even though i never met you. My husband keeps your memory alive and well. He talks about how funny and goofy you two were. I just want to thank you for being such a great person. youre gone but never forgotten. I pray you are watching over your loved ones. God Bless.

This year seems to have been alot harder to except you not being here with us. Everyday I think about you, how your life would be, would you be married, would you have kids (grandkids for me). I miss your smile, your voice, your hugs, your laugh...I miss you so much! Jasmine and Jay Jay are always talking about you saying, "Chris is an angel and he is watching over us Mommy" and I say yes you are, because I feel your spirit. As Nana said, your stay with us was short, but all that you were has left us with an everlasting memory. I can still here you say, "Hey Mom". You were truly a blessing to me and our family and we miss you terribly.

I love you my son and miss you so much!

Mom

Your light will always shine in my heart.
Keep on shining starlight of my life. As my first born Granson you are and always will be in my thoughts and I pray for your peace and joy on the other side.
Your stay was short but the memory of you is everlasting.
The Hands That Rocked the Cradle,
Nana

Hey Chris, I know it has been a while, but you know I think about you every moment of every day. I am missing you terribly and still can't believe that you are gone. I know it is coming up on 4 years and it still seems like this is all one bad dream and I can't wake up. In reality I know your not coming back, but you can't blame me for wishful thinking...lol. Everyone is doing fine. Jasmine and Jay Jay are getting so big. I am making sure that they never forget their "Big Brother Chris". They talk about you like they knew you so well, especially Jasmine. She used to tell me and other people that you would come play with her and talk to her...I believed her too. I can still tell when you are around me. People may think I'm crazy, but I know. Brandon is still trying to get himself together, but deep down inside I know he is still having a tuff time still dealing with everything that happened. Jason is doing great. He is supposed to be going to Afghanistan in September. Please watch over him and make sure he comes home to us safe and alive. I couldn't bare another flag My BEAR BUDDIES store in honor of you is still doing good and I proudly talk about you all the time. It's Memorial Day here in Okinawa, but everyday is memorial day for me. I love you so much and I miss you dearly. There are not enough words in the world that can explain what I feel. I do feel that you are in a better place and I know you are happy and watching over us. Hug and kiss yourself for me...I love you my son.

Hi Chris, it has been 3 years and I still sometimes can not face reality that you are never coming home. I see some of your friends that were there with you and I love them just the same but I envy them as well because they came home and you didn't. I still feel you around...especially when I need that strong shoulder to cry on. I know you know that I opened a new store in honor of you. Since I would call you Chrissy Poo, it's a build-a-bear store called Bear Buddies and it is doing so well. I'm gonna take my Marine Bear I have with your dog tags on it down to the store, but I want to have your name and rank put on the bear in honor of you. Everyone is doing fine. Jasmine and Jay Jay talk about you all the time. We all miss you so much and wish so bad that you were here with us and I know and feel you in sprirt, but life still is just not the same. I miss your smiles, your hugs and just talking to you. Sometimes I sit and wonder how your life would be now...married, kids, own a home, traveling the world, etc. Hoping and wishing you the best like any mother would do for their child or children. I love you Chris and miss you so much. Words will never be able to explain my pain that I feel everyday for not having you here on earth. I know you are enjoying the wind beneath your wings, so baby soar high, because I am so proud of you! My Son, My Hero...LCpl. Christopher Michael Poston: Given to me as a special gift on 8/10/1985 and Returned to his creator on 10/17/2005.

I love you always, forever and I'll see you soon.

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.


The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”


I did not know Christopher, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

You are remembered and respected. Thank you Lance Cpl Poston!

Last week Monday your mother was heavy on my mind and then I realize it was a couple of days before the day you became all of our gaurdian angel. Briana and Kimmie still talk about you and miss you. They call you their big cousin. I will always remember that big o smile of yours that would just light up a room when you walked in. James said to say Hi and told me to stop crying because you are in a better place then we are. I know I'm a week late but it was really hard this year to sign the guest book and I'm not even sure why. I just wanted to say I love you and miss you. I'm always thinking of you.

Dear Chris,
My tirbute to you is to give to others. Other young spirts who what
a chance to live and die with dignity.
This statement is more a realtiy check for me more than you, because you have moved on to your place in time which is an eternity. I have accepted the fact you are not here in the body and only know your spirt to be my truth, you see, you are a part of my legacy, which allows me to prepare to live in the eternal life with God now. Tell Honey and PaPa hello for me.
Today, 10/19/93 was PaPa's homegoing. I miss and remember you both deep in my heart.
Love
Nana

2 years? seems like yesterday you came back from bootcamp all cut up lookin like a mini LL cool J. and we were crackin jokes bout me joinin the navy and you joinin the marines, i miss me you and stephen, hangin out...it seems selfish to wish you were still here even though your in a better place. but i do. miss you man.

Hello Chris,
Its now time that I introduce myself. I met your mom, MY BIG SISTER, Oct. 2006 at the same time I meet you. I'm not real big on talking so i'll be brief. First off I've been told that you have a very beautiful smile and I've seen that myself from the pictures, however, I wouldn't be a true sag. If I didn't say mine was better :o)
I've heard nothing but good things about you, I even told sis that if I had known you guys years ago, shoot I'd would have married you, gone LOL, she jumped to clock me one and cursed me too. Just know that you are loved and missed by all and your family is bigger then you'll ever know.


Much love to you Christopher Poston!


p.s the day will come when we compare smiles face to face. :o)

Hey Sweetie, well it's been 2 years now and it still does not seem real. I'm still waiting for you to come home. I can't believe I haven't seen you, talk to you, kissed you, hugged you, and laughed with you in 2 years. I miss all of that so much. I miss you so much. I always talk about you and brag about you. You are my shining star and you will always be my HERO. I feel you you're around and it's weird because I start laughing, not like it's funny, but it makes me happy. Jasmine and Jay Jay are doing fine. Jasmine is in Kindergarten now and Jay Jay is in Pre-School. Why am I telling you this...you know. Anyway, we are all doing good, we'd be a alot better with you here. I know you are here in our hearts and in spirit and please continue watching over us and make sure you take care and watch over your brother Brandon. He loves and misses you so much.

Well Chris, Happy Homegoing! I can't wait until I see you again. I love you so much and miss you!

Mom

Hey chris, well it seems like forever ago since the last time I saw you but really we're just getting closer to the next time we can all be together again, I know you watch over all of us and see how your nephew, little christopher is growing so fast and I was honored to name him after you, You were such a wonderful person and I know my husband, thinks about you everyday and I also know that you always watch over him. You were our HERO here on earth but now you are a hero up in God's holy kingdom and that is something we all give thanks for. You are always in my deepest prayers and please just continue watching over all who love you.

sorry im late, happy birthday man, still missin u, but life goes by as fast as you can snap your fingers, so i'll see you soon bro.

Happy Birthday Chris!!! I know I'm a day late on the entry, but you know where we were last night...celebrating your birthday :)!! We know you were there and we all had so much fun. I had a dream the morning of your birthday and you were in it. You held my hand, put your arm around me and gave me a kiss on the cheek and told me, don't cry Mom, it's gonna be ok. Everything was ok. Twenty-two years ago on August 10, 1985 I was giving birth to one of the most beautiful little boy's on this earth. Who ever thought that 20 years later one of the most beautiful men on this earth (my son) would be taken away from us. I know you are God's warrior, but you will always be our HERO (MY HERO)! I love and miss you so much. I know you were with us in spirit celebrating your birthday, but you I wish you were there in the flesh...but I'll take you any way I can get you.

Well sweetie, until next time. Keep watching over us and protecting us and I will see and be with you again in time.

Love Mom

Happy Apperance Day (Birthday)Chritopher. Your Nana will always cherish your joyful precious spirt. Our time together
here was short, but we will be together again and that will be eternally. My sprit salutes your spirt in peace and love.

Love Nana

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON (KIA on 07/06/07) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

Thank you for the sacrifice made by Lance Cpl Poston and the sacrifice made by everyone who loves and misses him! May God bless all of you!!
Aunt of a Lance Cpl deploying soon

Sup Chris, (that's how you use to start your emails to me. "Sup Jason"). I think about that all the time. I realize that this is the first time I am signing your guest book, but I'm sure you have heard my countless prayers.
Chris, I don't know if I ever told you this before, but I was extremly honored when you decided to join the Marine Corps. Not because I thought that you were following in my footsteps, but mainly because you listened to everything your Mom and I talked to you about and made a decision that you felt was the right thing for you. I took it as you complementing me on the type of man I turned out to be and you were taking advantage of the same opportunity as I did. You had a funny way of showing me that you listened to many of the small things that we talked about as you were growing up. I know that accepting me into your life at 13 yrs old wasn't an easy thing to do, but you seemed to put your mother's feelings ahead of yours and gave me a chance. For that, I am very thankful. That was a big step into adulthood for a 13 yr old to take. Because of you, becoming a step-father was an almost painless experience for me. You were a great kid and turned into a great man. You gave me alot to be proud of. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers. I love you very much.

Jason

Hey Chris, I've been feeling you around me alot lately. I love and miss you so much. I think about you every day and I still feel like this is all a bad dream and I'm gonna wake up. Everyone is doing fine. Jasmine and Jay-Jay are getting so big. I know how much you adored Jasmine and she is so beautiful. She talks about you alot and ask alot of questions about you too. She cries for you too, but she's doing good. Jay-Jay asks about you too, but he was so young then, but we make sure he knows who his BIG brother is by showing him your pictures and talking to him about you. You would love playing with him, because he loves football...that boy is fast and has a heck of a left arm. Jason and I think he's going to be a running back or quarterback. His smile reminds me so much of your smile. That smile can light up a room. I wish you were here because I know you would've been such a good role model "Big Brother" for them as they grow up, especially Jay-Jay. Brandon is doing alright. He's dealing with alot, but hopefully with prayer and hope he will get himself together soon. Watch over him Chris, because we are leaving for Japan in 1 month and I don't know what else to do for him except leave him in the hands of the Lord and hope something good happens.

I'm gonna miss being here in California, but I am so ready to go. Everytime I drive by the cemetary my heart hurts to know my sons name is on the memorial wall. Everytime I see your friends or talk to their wives, my heart hurts and I'm envious because they're here and your not, but I love them so much, because I know they were a part of your life also, and their memories, and stories of you are shared with me. On Memorial Day I promise to pay tribute to you and all that have lost their lives in what I think is now a senseless war. You will always be my hero and I love and miss you so much. You are in my heart forever. I can't wait until I see you again.

Love Mom

I'm sorry we never met in person, you are a brother to him. I still see in his eyes how much he misses you.

They say the good die young,
now i realy know it's true,
but when it comes to the soul,
wasnt know one old as you you,
but.
your not gone,
your just real far away,
and if i ever need to talk,
all i gotta do is pray,
get on my knees and say,
"remember that day...?"
i know your smilin right now,
and you hate to see us cry,
your probly crackin jokes right now,
in your castle in the sky,
so from now on imma smile,
imma try not to cry,
just me at the gates whenever my time arrives.

WE LOVE YOU CHRIS-YOU WERE..NO...YOU ARE REAL SPECIAL AND YOU HOLD A SPECIAL PLACE IN OUR HEARTS 4 EVER-U CAN NEVER BE 4 GOTTEN - IT HURTS BECAUSE I FAILED TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH A TRUE FRIEND AND BROTHER ONCE WE BOTH LEFT FOR THE MILITARY - BUT ILL KEEP IN TOUCH WITH YOU UNTILL I SEE YOU AGAIN

Seem like yesterday we all graduated... before that came the day you came to football camp from cali, and we clicked like light switches. Been there through the hard times when my grandmother died and i was there when yours did. The fights, smiles, songs, parties, females, money, etc didnt mean nothing ever but it was always the love. You cant come back from being gone but you can always live on when your gone. You know my style man always the loyal one so til the end til we meet again your family is mine my dude always look out in the way i can and always keep your name alive.. it wont die til i do. Flashbacks of all the good times always pop up and i can never forget the one of a kind laugh. Real to the bone one of the only cats i chilled with who kept it that way. Like i said before man this aint good bye my dude.... its see you later

Dear Chris,
Thank you for the love call on October 16,2005 I will always hear that voice say "Hey, Nana, this is Chris wanting to let you know I am allright". Thank you for allowing me the chance to say "I Love you Chris". I feel so blessed to have been the one chosen to rock your cradle along with your "Honey". I will always love and cherish your memory as a joy and blessing to our family. I burned a candle on October 17, 2006 to light the
memory of your face and smile that are eternally in my heart and mine. I pray for Peace, World peace, your peace, your Mom's peace, my inner peace. You are my White Dove of Peace".
Love Forever Nana

Well baby it has been a year and it still feels like a bad dream, this is not real. I still think you are going to come home and this dream will be over. I still see your smile, I hear your laugh, I hear the sound of your voice, I see you walking through the front door with dirty laundry, I see you walking from the bathroom after taking a ashower with one butt cheek hanging out of the towel. All of these visions make me laugh and they make me cry, because I know that you being gone from my life is not a bad dream...it's so real. Some days I can't take it! I think to myself, I spoke to my son on Sunday morning and the next day my son, my baby is gone...gone from my life forever. One thing that will never be taken away from me are the memories I have. The day you were born changed my life forever. Your eyes were so big and you came into the world bright eyed and bushy tailed. You were such a beautiful baby and your nickname was "Kismet" which means "Destiny". You were destine to succeed and be a hero and be looked up to. You are truly my hero and I love and miss you so much that there will never be enough words for me to ever explain. I know you hear me when I talk to you and tell you I love you and kiss your picture every night and I know that you are watching over us and protecting us because Jasmine tells me all the time that she plays with you and you talk to her. Grandpa is up there with you now, so I definitely know you are not alone. Tell Grandpa, Honey, PaPa, your dad "Jay", Grandpa Jimmy, Grandma Francis, and your Uncle Brian we all said hello and that we love them and miss you all so much.

For you baby, like I said there are no words that can explain my pain and my love for you. You were my rock, you are my rock, you are my hero and I love and miss you so much to the extent that no one will ever understand. I hate to say it, but when I lost you, I lost a part of my life, because you were a big part of me. I want you to know that I am so proud of you and so are so many other people. I respect what you believed in and I know you loved the United States Marine Corps. and what you did for them during your short time in. Jason and I are going to 2/1's Marine Corps Ball in honor of you so we'll see you there.

Until we see each other again... I love you son and I promise to carry you with me always and forever in my heart. Rest In Peace Baby.

Love Mom

I am thinking of your family and praying for you. I am truely greatful for your son and what he has done for our country.

To Christopher's family and friends-

My family and I are praying for you and your family during this difficult time. We send our deepest empathy as we lost our Marine on 11/30/05 in Fallujah. We are comforted to know that our Marines are serving their country with such honor and bravery. We are so proud of our Marines and all of our other service men and women for all that they have done and continue to do to keep us safe and to give us the freedom we have that so many take for granted.

They are true Heroes and need to always be remembered for their selflessness and sacrifice to better our world. We will forever be united in the loss of our heros. We are so sorry for your loss and hope our words will ease some of the pain, and maybe fill some of your emptiness.

Yesterday, Today, Forever – Semper Fi - Marines!

Our sincerest gratitude for their bravery-

KIA outside of Fallujah 11/30/05

Our Beloved son Christopher. My thoughts and prayers go out to Tracey, Jason, Brandon, Lil Jason, Jasmine and Lisa. Chris' smile will forever be etched in my heart. He had the type of smile that would just light up a room. A big beautiful smile that would just grab you and captivate you. Chris was the type of young man any parent would wish for their daughter. I can truly understand how Lisa fell in love with him. Lisa if he choose you to spend the rest of his life with, you are truly an angel and would always be apart of our lives. My Mother always said you can tell the measure of a man by the company he keeps; and after getting to know some of Chris' friends he was definitively keeping good company. When Karen said he was the type of son everyone wishes they had, I could confirm that. He was as close to perfect any mortal man can be. Tracey you guys have done a wonderful job raising this gift from god and molding him into the young man he grew to be. I truly feel like I lost one of my own kids and my heart is truly broken. I do thank God for blessing us with Chris for the little bit of time he did spend here on earth. I know Chris has touched many lives and I know he is still doing Gods work up there in heaven. We love and miss you. Your family James, Tracey, Briana and Kimmie Brown.

Dear Jason and Tracy,



May the Lord be with your family during your time of sorrow. Just know your son is smiling and watching over you all. God has called him home and you all will be together again!



With Love,



The Wishom's Clyde Metre and Kristian

Chris " I bet you didn't know HEAVEN was goin' be like that huh- LOVE IT". Chris served our Country and we must HONOR him TODAY AND ALWAYS. Gone but never ever FORGOTTON.

God Bless everyone and thank you so much for the love and support. Chris is my son..notice I said "IS" and not "WAS", because he will always be my son and his beautiful spirit will live on forever. Chris had an old soul and had been here many times before, and God has chosen him for another great task because he knew that Chris was one Angel he could depend on. Chris touched many lives and left many beuatiful impressions on so many people near and far. My son is a HERO and his spirit will live on through all of us. Chris we love and miss you so much that no words will every be able to explain...My Baby, I love you so much.

Love and thanks to all of you
Chris' mom, dad, brothers, and sister.

To the family and friends of LCpl Poston. He was one of the hardest working and motivated Marines I have ever met. Even during a hard day, LCpl Poston could make one smile with his wit and friendliness. No matter what the task he could perform. He is a great friend to many Marines. He will be loved and mised continuously

We were planning to meet Chris on his Wedding Day. My daughter is in a circle of Chris's friends. To be 19 or 20 and have to deal with this kind of tragedy, the loss of such a special and loved person, will change the rest of thier lives. Chris died serving his crountry, trying to make life for all of us better. He was in Iraq for only ten or so days before he died. He is a Hero,and we will honored Chris always. It'll take some time to adjust to life without Chris, some sooner, some later (It's different for each person). Our Prayers go out to Chris, Lisa, Chris's Parents, Lisa's Parents and their Families and Friends. May God Bless you all.

I went to Mtn. Pointe High School with Chris and graduated in 2002. He was always smiling when you seen him and was well like by everyone. (He's responsible for me liking Seagram's Ginger Ale : ), thanks Chris ) Chris will truly be missed by all of us MP students. We love you Chris! God bless and I send my condolences.



Love-

Jaquana Haywood and your fellow Mountain Point High Students

To the Family and Friends and especially to Lisa:



I didn't know Chris, but want you to know that one life lost, is one life too many. We are just getting our lives back in order after losing our beloved Granddaughter, A1C Elizabeth N. Jacobson, a Security Forces Blue Beret, who lost her life in Iraq, 9-28-05. She is now guarding the gates in Heaven and we want you to know that he will not be forgotten and hope that you will be as proud of him for serving as we were of Elizabeth. Without our children this Country would not be what it is today, whether from the first War for freedom until today's wars, we give our lives so Freedom can be obtained. I wish it was different, but unfortunately, it is going to be someone's loved one. May G-d bless our troops, and hopefully, someday Freedom and Peace will reign, so they all can be brought home safely.



No matter what type of accident or act of war, a loss of a child or friend is very traumatic, I know that it isn't much consolation, I hope that you know that there are others that feel your pain.



Elizabeth's motto was "We're only on Earth for a little while, so live life to the fullest and carry a smile."



prayers to you all

Chris was our freind, but we loved him like a brother, I'm still in shock. We were the same age, graduated the same year, always talked about what it was gonna be like when we were all old together having barbeques and goofy stuff. He was a true soldier and my freind, my brother, my hero. We honor him now and forever.

I knew Chris while he was stationed on our ship before he went into Iraq. He was always smiling and speaking to everyone. He will be greatly missed. To his family I'm sorry for your lost. He reminded me of my little brother who I also lost in Iraq.

Chirs was a every loving and caring person. He died doing what he wanted, I believe he was happy when he left us and is watch over us all.. Chris would have wanted Everyone to go on with life and just remeber the good times.. He will be truely miss...

Its so hard to except the fact that a friend is gone. Its even harder to sit here in watch the pain around you. My bestfriend Lisa was going to marry this wonderful man. The pain that I see in her eyes is a pain I never want to feel. I can't imagine what his mother most feel. Knowing how strong of a woman his mother is I know it is so hard right now. For Tracy, Jason, Brandon, Lisa, and everyone who are friends and family my prayers are with you.

God Bless ( Jamie,Navy wife)

The Chris I knew wouldnt want everyone to be sad and crying. He is smiling down at all of us knowing he is our angel. I look at him still as the brother I was gonna have on June 3rd. My prayers go out to his family and friends. But mostly to my sister. She is crushed and hopefully Chris can give her comfort and strenth to live knowing he is right by her side everyday. I love you Chris....Rest in Peace.

My sincere sympathies for Chris's family and his fiance, Lisa and her family and friends. May God be with you in your time of sorrow

May God bless you in a very special way, as He took a very special person from this world to be with Him. I thank God every day for men like your son who are willing to fight for our freedom and the freedom of oppressed nations. I know Christopher has made a difference in every life he has touched. God bless everyone in his family



Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they

protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they

perform for us in our time of need. I ask this in the name of Jesus,

our Lord and Savior. Amen.
