Not sure what to say?

"If you want to cheat death, it is not how much you earn or how good you look. It's in every small act of kindness you share with someone else. That is how you live on."
I think of Chris's respect for and kindness toward everyone he encountered and I know his spirit is with us still. And I'm still mad at God because his love and spirit are all we have.

We miss Chris all the time. Our chef Ian was just talking about him last week.

To Bonnie, Robin and family,
My thoughts are with you today on Chris' birthday. Hold on tight to each other and may you find some peace in your hearts knowing how much he loved you all.

Peace.
Maureen

As far back as I can remember, being with Chris meant having fun. Chris blessed us all with his natural ability to make others laugh and feel accepted for who they are. I have never known another person with a heart as big and geniune as Chris'. His death is so unfair and senseless, but may it comfort us all somewhat to know that we are better people for having had him in our lives.

Bonnie just know you WILL be with christopher again as I will be with my samantha again. We just have to be still and wait our turn. I send you my love and hugs to you and chris from me and my angel girl samantha.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your beautiful son Christopher. He sounds a lot like my nephew Christopher, who was killed at 16 by a hit and run driver. I think they both shared that special gift of putting people at ease and good humor. My prayers are with you all and Chris.

Christopher,

I didn't know you in life but I'm sure my son will find you in heaven. Sounds like you both loved to laugh and were good, kind people.
