Christopher Gemmell

My message in 2009 stands today. You meant much to many. I think of you so often.

Debi,
I only met you once, at your wedding to my dear friend Chris. It is odd that I have been having dreams of you two recently so I 'googled' his name as I had no idea where you two were. Needless to say, I am shocked and saddened to read of his passing. Chris, John and I lived in OC together in the early 80's and I truly found him to be a unique, funny, loving and special friend. I was honored that he allowed me into your special day as I had not seen him in years.
My thoughts...

Dear Debi and Gemmell family,
I went to St. Mary's and was in the 1st through 8th grade with Larry Gemmell. Chris was a few years older. I just read of his passing and my heart breaks for all of you. I just remember him always laughing and smiling. Our hearts and prayers are with you and all of the Gemmell family.
Love,
Patty, Mary, Tommy, and Kathleen Lloyd

Each day I look outside, I think of the many memories and times shared...working in my yard, working in your yard, planting, landscaping, talking and always laughing. Fire side chats, taking down a tree with an extension cord (a technique you learned from your experience w/ JB W.) and of course meeting in the field on our tractors for yard beers. Most importantly what I think about most is how much you have meant to me and so many other people. You had a gift of being able to touch...

There's hardly a day goes by that something doesn't remind me of one of the great moments we've shared. From that memory comes another and another. Baggage cart rides in Philly to Mr. Monkey at Gettysbrew, puppets, jeep painting (month of Sundays), fireworks in the chest and blanket (did any go in the sky?), honeymoons, holloweens, quiet times fireside and on and on smiles after smile. You and Chris have made my life better. . . Love you both

Debi,
I'm so glad for that infamous St. Patrick's Day, when I introduced you two. You guys are the 'Moondance' couple. We miss him, too. Love, Jane and Casey

Chris: You will always be remembered with a smile! Debi & Nicolette: Love, prayers & friendship are with you always.

Deb,
We are thinking of you daily and hope you and your family are finding comfort in each other knowing Chris is at peace. We feel blessed to have been with Chris the last few hours.Our friend and neighbor will never be forgotten as we remember all the good times we shared.
Love you
JB and Terry

Debi and Family, Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you everyday. Chris will be sorely missed, but everything about Chris will be remembered. His spirit lives on in our memories of him. God Be With you all.
