Hello...my name is Megan, and our local town did a memorial of flags remembering those lives lost. Our flag had Christopher's name on it, and I'm just now looking/reading what an extraordinary man he was!!! Our family has just a small token of you, and we fly your flag very proudly!!!

Beloved Chris,
Yesterday was as difficult as every 9/11. It never gets easier! You are remembered and cherished by everyone you encountered in your brief time on earth. Many who never met you keep your memory alive. It is my goal to make sure you are NEVER forgotten. You are with me ALWAYS! I look forward to the time when we can all be together and make new memories. Keep watch over me and Joe. I can't help but smile when I think that you were the one who gave me the name "Aunt Nor-Nor". I love hearing others call me that to this very day. Thanks for that memory and all my other precious memories of you/us/family <3!!!!!

Remember
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

My Dearest Chris,
Oh how I am dreading tomorrow. Actually, I HATE 9/11!!!! It was the darkest day of my life. Remembering you and all the good times together helps me get through each and every day. You are with me always! I like to think you share all my days with me, as well as your parents, brother, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. If wishing could only make it so, you would be here with all of us! I cherish all the memories of you and soooo love looking at photos of you througout your childhood. You were so much fun and grew into such a fine young man! I have and always will be so enormously proud to be your aunt. I love you more than you may know! We will have eternity to make new memories together.
Until then, I send hugs and kisses.
All my love always, Aunt Nor-Nor

The only thing I can say is you are always on my mind and in my heart forever. Lots of love from all of us. Please continue to look out for us. Hugs and kisses my sweet Chris. You are a true angel. XOXOXO Nikki

Every year I say to myself that I won't put myself through the torture of watching all the 9/11 shows on tv, and every year I can't help but turn it on atleast once, this year it's today that I'm watching 9/11 shows. I find myself glued to the tv, wiping away the tears, thinking of YOU!! It's funny how the little things remind me of you, how I'll be driving down the street and an old song comes on the radio & there you are, in my head, lol. Chris I'll never forget my childhood memories with you and gang in the beach...atleast we'll always have that! Although the days, months & years have passed without you here, you will NEVER be forgotten! I'll hold onto those memories forever!

Dearest Chris,
I think I did it again, forgot to send the message after I wrote it last nite. Yesterday was an especially difficult and emotional day for me. Your mom had a mass said for you. Your aunts Geri, Maria and I brought up the gifts. We were all there to remember you and celebrate your life. At the end of mass I was able to go up to the altar and touch a cross that was made from debris of the WTC. I felt as if I might be touching a piece of you! I fell apart. I still feel at times that 9/11 is a bad dream and then it hits me that you are not here, yet you are with me always. Not a day goes by that you are not in my words, thoughts, prayers and on my wrist. I do not want others to ever forget you! I love thinking about all the fun things we did while you were growing up. It brings me so much joy. I only wish you were still here bringing me and everyone whose life you touched continual joy. We will have eternity for that! Until then, I love you more than words can say, Aunt Nor-Nor <3 X <3

Chris,
Can't believe it's been 10 Years. I still remember that day like it was yesterday, as do all the other millions of people. The coverage on TV this morning was really nice. However, it's just as sad today as it was 10 years ago.
Watch over all of us.

Dearest Chris,
Today was an especially difficult and emotional day. Went to a mass your mom had said in your honor. Brought up the gifts with your aunts Geri and Maria. After mass I was able to view and touch a piece of what once was the WTC and is now a cross. It took my breath away and brought so many tears as I felt as if I were possibly touching a part of you. I still find it hard to believe it has been 10 years and you are still not here with us. I wonder if I will ever get over that feeling. As you know, I HATE 9/11 and all it stands for! I wish I could turn back the clock and change history. I am so very sorry you had to be part of such a tragic day. Not a day goes by that I do not think of, miss and/or talk about you nor do I ever not wear a bracelet with your name on it. It and you are part of me. I do not feel complete without one of my bracelets. Hope you know how very much I love and miss you and that you are a part of all I do. Until we meet again, All my Love, Aunt Nor-Nor <3x<3

Dear Chris,
It is two days away from the tenth anniversary. It is so difficult to grasp that it has been a decade already. I’m not sure if it makes sense, but it gets more difficult to sit through the media coverage of 9/11 as each year passes. Sharon and I visit your grave every year. Last year we also went to a candle light memorial in Atlantic Highlands. We went with Shawn, April, Miranda, and Kenidee. We miss you Chris, and will never forget about you.

I believe you know already that we did an interview for our local TV station on Tuesday. The piece is to honor you. Your aunts and especially your mom did a great job. It hasn't aired yet. I am curious to see their editing. We talked for at least an hour. There is so much to say about you, we could have talked much longer. I do love that people other than your family want to remember you. I HATE that we have to talk about you in the past tense!! I cannot stress how abundantly proud I was and always will be of you and the fine young man you became. You were such a ray of sunshine, always. I am dreading 9/11 as always. This year will be especially tough, as I believe there will be more than usual coverage for the 10th anniversary. I still cannot believe you have been gone for 10 years! I think of and miss you daily. I love you more than words can say. XOX Aunt Nor-Nor (your gave me that name)

Merry Christmas. I know I am writing this several days late but you were on my mind and in my heart and prayers on Christmas and everyday. I know you were smiling this past Friday when you saw our entire family together. It was so wonderful. Sal's family surprise visit was the best present your parents could receive. I still miss you daily and hope you think of me, too. As always, Joe and I talk of our fond memories of you. Please continue to watch over us. Next Christmas all 4 Frisi sisters will be living in N.

Dearest Chris,
It seems like yesterday that I got the call on the loud speaker at camp telling me to report for an important phone call. That was 32 years ago today. I couldn't wait to get home to meet you. You were a little scrawny then, but I couldn't have loved you more. You brought me much joy while you were here. Happy Birthday! Oh how I wish I could hug, kiss and tell you in person. This has been quite a year for me, as you know. Joe and I were married, I retired after 30 years of teaching, and have moved to FL. Please watch over me during this anxious time. It is most exciting.
Watch over and be happy that your Mom & Dad will also be looking for a home and moving to FL. I know you'd love it here.
As always, I love and miss you deeply and daily. Until we meet again.
All my love,

Dearest Christopher,
As you know, Joe and I were married on 5/2. It was a wonderful ceremony and celebration that took place on a yacht directly across from the site of the WTC. I felt especially close to you that day. I know you were with us. I only wish you could have truly been there. I know you would have loved it. Joe and I talked and cried about you the night before. It was a very emotional time. I love and miss you always.

Hi Again,
It happened for the second time in 2 days. The steward on the plane from Jacsonville saw my remembrance bracelet and commented on it. This is so strange since I have been wearing it for over 6 years. It makes my heart happy to know that others recognize and remember you and 9/11. I wish it were not so.
All my love,

Hi Chris,
I just had to write. While at church on Sunday, the woman behind me tapped me on my shoulder to say she was sorry I lost someone on 9/11 and that the bracelet I wear with your name on it was a beautiful way to remember you. I agree. Not a day goes by that I do not wear one of my remembrance bracelets. I wish I did not have to wear it but since I do I am glad that others see it and remember you as well. Watch over me and all your familly this and every New Year.
All my love,

My Dearest Chris,
Merry Christmas! I still find it hard to believe you are not here to spend it with your family. There are times I expect we will all gather in my apartment for the holidays and soon the bell will ring and there you'll be. If only that were true. Aunt Marie, Uncle Harold and Danielle were here last night along with some of Joe's family. Before everyone else arrived Joe put on the Mitch Miller Christmas CD, the one we used to listen to when you were a young boy. Aunt Marie commented about you and Sal loving those songs. I told Joe, I love and hate the 12 Days of Christmas as it was your favorite song. I only wish you were here to enjoy it with us. Today we will spend some time alone and then go over to Joe's cousins' house for dinner. You will be with me there as well, as you are always with me. I still wear my remembrance bracelet everyday. I do not want people to ever forget you! Please watch over your Mom and Dad and Sal and his Family. Help your Mom get through the anxiety she has been feeling lately.
Merry Christmas in Heaven. I Love and Miss you DEEPLY.
Aunt Nor-Nor.

It is still so hard to believe you are gone. That day, 6 years ago, is still so fresh and painful. Six years and it still is as difficult as ever. I HATE 9/11!
You are always with me. I went to a mass in your honor last evening. John's aunts were responsible for it. Even though they never met you, they never forget you and 9/11. They, and I, wish that they could have known you. I know they would have loved you. Know you are with me always. Keep watch over me and help me to figure out what to do next in my life.
Love, miss, think of and talk of you always,

Hi Chris,
I've been meaning to write since the birth of your niece, Ariana. I know you are smiling down on Sal, Rikki, and Ariana as well as all family members. I am truly sorry that Ariana will never get to spend her growing years with you. Although, I know you will always be with her. She is adorable. I can't wait to get back to NJ to see and hold her. Your mom and dad are thrilled with their granddaughter.
I often talk to you when I am at the beach. It seems so natural, with our love for water.
Love and miss you,

P.S. It is nice to know that even strangers do not forget you.

I have never met you but today I had the blessing of meeting your mother, Teresa, online. I will never forget the day of 9/11. Though we do not know each other, I can honestly and sincerely say that I miss you. I know that it is hard to understand but on that day the entire country's heart and soul was damaged to no recovery. Please fly majestically with the angels in heaven for I know that you are majestic in your own light. God Bless you and your family and loved ones forever. Be in Peace.

What a beautiful baby you were. You grew up to be a son I was and still are very proud of. There isn't a day that goes by that i don't think of you. We miss and love you very much. How I wish you were here to meet your new neice Ariana, she will be with us next month. She would have adored you. But I know in my heart you are always with us.
I love you more than life itself.

Happy Birthday Chris! It is still so hard to believe you are not here with us. You would have been 31 today. I will never forget the day you were born and how I found out. I was only 20 and a summer camp counselor when they announced your birth over the loudspeaker for all to hear. You were and are the light of my life. I miss you terribly and wish you could be here, physically, to share all that
is going on. I know you are always with me. Again, Happy Birthday!

Hey Chris,
It's been a while. I have been on your myspace. Think that may be why. How I wish you were here right now. You always had the good answer I was looking for. Only if I could ask you now. I know you will look after Jr while he is at school. I am sure you have been and thats why I am having the feeling I've had the past few days. Anyway just keep us all safe and sound. Miss more and more everyday. Love you even more than I could ever miss you.

Dearest Christopher,
Today, being my birthday, always holds an especially touching memory for me. I will never forget your wanting to be with me for my birthday in 2001. That is one of my fondest and most treasured memories of you, although I have so many wonderful memories. Not a day goes by that I do not think of and miss you. Joe and I were in Naples, FL this past weekend and he saw someone he thought looked like you and my response was, "wouldn't that be great." I wear my remembrance bracelet with your name on it every day so others may never forget you either.
Love and miss you,
Aunt Nor-Nor

Angel's Kiss
It's my selfishness
that makes me cry.
I wasn't ready
to say good-bye.
I wasn't ready
to let you go.
I pray you know
I loved you so.
It's me, not you
who suffers here.
I know your life
goes on, somewhere.
I know that I should
celebrate.
You've walked through
Heaven's glorious gate.
But, still I can't stop
thinking of,
your smile, your touch,
your special love.
I know that you hear
what I say.
It's just done in a
different way.
And, so I want to
send you this
to you, the one
I love and miss
All my love upon an
Angel's Kiss
You are in my heart always
Love Mom

Another year has gone by and it just doesnt get any easier. I was re-telling a story to my BF two days ago about the last time we went out clubbing in the summer of 2001. I got to the end of the story and got choked up...almost cryed. I miss you every day and wonder what life would be like if you were still here. Keep us all safe from harm. Your my angel in heaven. Love you always Chris! <3 Michele

Today marked 5 years you were taken from us. It is still so hard to believe, and it does not get any easier with time. My only comfort is that we will all be together someday. Please shine down on us and give us strength to carry on, and always know you will hold a very special place in my heart for eternity. I LOVE and MISS YOU more than words could ever express. Rest In Peace My Special Angel.

Dear Chris,
It's the 5th year of you being taken away from us and it has not been any easier, as a matter of fact it is harder. I think about how old you would be and what you would be doing. Harold and I talk of you all the time and this year he would like to tell you he is sorry. It has taken 5 years for him to look at the sight but he felt ready. I miss you Chris as I sit here in tears trying to type. You know how I feel because I talk to you all the time.
Keep a watch over us because you are our angel.We love you and miss you more than word can ever say.
Until we meet again
All Our Love Maria&Harold

My Dearest Chris,
It is hard to believe you are gone when today would have been your 30th Birthday. I wish you were here to celebrate it. I know you would have had a lot to celebrate. I cannot tell you, although I think you know, how much I miss you and wish you were here. You made me so proud of you in your 25 years here with us. I only wish I could have you here to continue to share your life and accomplishments. Know I am thinking of you and that you are with me always. My only comfort is knowing that we will spend eternity together. Happy Birthday!
All my love always,

Before 9/11,I was able to enjoy the view of the twin towers from my living room window in NJ. On that day the entire tragedy played out before us....For weeks afterwards, I cried every morning when I woke up and saw the smoldering and the sorrow across the river. I have looked over the list of those lost and when I saw your son's name my heart stopped. I have a nephew with the same name...Althought we are not related...please know that I remember your Christopher in my prayers every night...God Bless and keep you in the palm of His Hand..

Hi Chris just wanted to say thank you so much for looking out for Mike. If it wasn't for your strength you gave him and me I don't know what I would have done. Maybe you gave me a sign, but whatever it was you saved Mike's life and I truly appreciate that. I kept talking to you asking you to watch him and give me strength. I miss you, but I know you are here watching and that is the best. You are truly my Angel in the sky and I love you dearly.
LOVE KRISTI

HI CHRIS, IT'S BEEN AWHILE SINCE I'VE WRITTEN BUT THAT DOES'NT MEAN THAT YOU HAVE NOT BEEN IN MY THOUGHTS. I THINK ABOUT YOU EVERY TIME CASEY BARKS, WHEN IT SNOWS I THINK ABOUT THE TIME WE WENT SKIING AND YOU GAVE IT YOUR BEST SHOT AS THE REST OF US ROARED WITH LAUGHTER AT YOU FLYING DOWN THAT ICEY SLOPE. I THINK ABOUT YOU WHEN THE STRIPPERS OR THE BLUES ARE IN AND EVERYONE IS FISHING IN MY BACK YARD. I SEE YOUR BLUE PROBE CRUSING DOWN CLIFFWOOD AVE AND HEAR YOUR VOICE TELLING CASEY TO GO POOPY FOR DADDY. YOU ARE ALWAYS IN MY THOUGHTS AND SO ARE YOUR TERRIFIC PARENTS. LOVE JUDITH TEICHER

I am spending my birthday in FL because of my fractured foot. Wish you could be here! Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Thanks for watching over me.

I know Life without me is not the same.
Because i'm not there.
But don't feel sad.
Think of all the times we shared.
I am with my friends and co-workers.
We didn't mean to leave so fast.
Without even a good-bye.
You Understand.
I look down upon you, and feel your pain.
I see it in your everyday life.
Please remember the good times we had.
And soon you'll understand.
Why I left you on your own.
I'm always right by your side.
Never forget I Love YOU.
And will always be there,whenever you need
me.
I will always be by your side.
