Christopher R. Morningstar Obituary

To the family and friends of Staff Sgt. Christopher R. Morningstar:
It has truly been my honor to sign Christopher's guest book these past few years. Unfortunately, due to complications from my Multiple Sclerosis, this may be the last message I'm able to write. Please forgive me and know that Christopher will always be remembered in my home.
With love and respect ~ Peggy

To the family and friends of Staff Sgt. Christopher R. Morningstar:
Always remembering Christopher. "Some gave all."

Five years later and I still find it difficult not to get mired in my own grief over the loss of you two.
I try to remember how lucky I am to have shared time with Chris and Jeremiah, how lucky I am to have their imprint on my life, how lucky I was to have been with them in their final hours, how lucky I am to carry them in my mind as I go through the highs and lows of everyday life.
I'm a better man for Chris and Jeremiah having been in my life; there aren't many we can say that about.

To the family and friends of Staff Sgt. Christopher R. Morningstar:
Please accept my remembrance of Christopher on the anniversary of his passing and know that he will never be forgotten.

You are remembered and respected. Thank you Staff Sgt Morningstar!

My name is Brandy Hylton and I used to live next to Chris when he was stationed in Ft. Leonard Wood, MO. I cut his hair the night before he left on his first tour.I babysat Victoria and Wyatt and my heart goes out to them and his family. I have many wonderful pictures I would love to share. May he rest in peace.

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 you and 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, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) 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!!

MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS. I HAVE JUST LEARNED OF YOUR GREAT LOSS AND WISH TO EXPRESS MY DEEPEST SYMPATHIES. PLEASE KNOW THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT HERE WHO DO CARE AND YOUR HERO WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. HOLD TIGHT TO YOUR TREASURED MEMORIES THAT HIS SPECIAL SMILE MAY CONTINUE TO SHINE ON. I PRAY THAT PEACE WILL FIND YOU ALL SOMEDAY. STAY STRONG AND GODSPEED. SEMPER FI



MARINE MOM

To the Family, friends & fellow soldiers of Tuff, there are no words that can begin to express our deepest sympathy for you all. We had the blessed pleasure to meet a lot of these fine young men prior to deployment but we will forever feel an emptiness as Tuff (and SGT Boehmer) was one that we only heard about and never had the pleasure to meet. We will forever hold him dear in our hearts. God Bless you all.

My brother, Jeremiah also lost his life with Christopher which was one month ago today. They are heros. It was their unselfish attitudes and sacrifice that we will never forget. We will forever be united in the loss of our heros. I pray for both our families and for the soldiers that are still out there fighting. This is a very difficult time, but these two brave men will never be forgotten. They will have a place in my heart forever.

Psalm 23



1

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

2

He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,

3

He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

5

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

6

Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.



This is a verse that I have found to be comforting to me during my husbands death. Remember that when it seems that no one else is round, God is still there with you! And he will be your rock!



My daughter,McKaLyne, and I send our heartfelt sympathy for your loss! God Bless this warrior, God Bless those whom serve freedom's cause! They are our true HERO's!!!!



If you need anything, please feel free to contact me!!!

To the Family of Staff Sgt. Christopher R. Morningstar:

I know first hand there are no words right now that will bring you the comfort and peace you need. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you mourn this loss. We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away. God Bless this courageous soldier and his family.
