Not sure what to say?

Ten years and sometimes it seems like just yesterday I heard you were gone. It is still somehow unbelievable. Love the picture of running on the beach with your kids -- you could be so joyful. You are still missed in this world -- but I'm sure you are doing great in the "next world" and still watching over your kids and family. XXOO

My beloved brother we truly miss you! It has been 2 years since your passing. I wish you would have been here for the death of Osama BinLadden it is iron he was killed on 05/01/11 2 year anniversary of your death. You would be so happy. Love you.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Chrises death, he and I went to a lot of Twins games together, also we had the same taste in punk rock music of all things. My thoughts and prayers are with you Chris and of course your whole family.

Dear Bolcom's Family,
I have read much of Christopher's work on Airpower and even today, was reading one of his testimony transcripts.
With much sadness, on behalf of the Saletta family.

I just saw this in the other Legacy site and thought people that are following this site might be interested:
Memorial service will be held at The Anglican Church of St. Dunstan, 4241 Brookside Ave, St. Louis Park, MN, June 13 at 2 PM. In lieu of flowers, memorials to St. Dunstan preferred.

Dear Bolkcoms;
I had the privilege of knowing Chris when we were teenagers at Gethsemane. My mother informed me of the tragedy this evening and it didn't take long to find this memorial and many others. He was definitely well liked and will be greatly missed. My thought and prayers are with your family in this tough time.

I was shocked when I heard about Christopher. We knew the Bolkcom's through our children who attended Little Scholars, the Library of Congress Day Care. I always looked forward to talking to him about the kids, his work, and life in general. He was energetic and friendly and always seemed to have a smile on his face. My condolences go out to his family and friends and espectially to his children Jessica and Max of whom I know Christopher was so proud.

Dear Bolkcom Family,

As neighbors growing up on Scott Avenue, Chris and I went through school together. Our paths most often crossed in music: we were both in a select district-wide choir in 6th grade. I remember all those young male voices belting out "There is Nothing Like a Dame!" I was also Glinda to his Wizard of Oz. We continued in band, and both finally got up the courage to try out for the musical our senior year. We landed spots in the chorus and had a ball in "Once...
