Not sure what to say?

As I tried to sleep last night, my thoughts were of you, Gaye, Charles & Gerard. How you all get through this day I cannot understand. My heart and throughts are with you all.

There are no words to say there is not anything anyone can do to ease your pain. I wrote to you about our son dying in an atv accident in williston before your precious Christopher past. Aaron died in 2008 and 14 months later our Tiffany died in a car accident. There is no right or wrong way to grieve . Take time for your self crying is a way to release the poison of the pain and after losing both my babies I cry alot. If you ever need to talk contact me [email protected] I know your...

Chris at Foster Falls

For all of Chris' friends, we are holding a Memorial Candelighting on June 15th at the Gainesville Rock Gym. Please join us if you can; if not, light a candle wherever you are and remember the generous spirit you met and whom I'm sure still touches our live.

Chris I had the honor of meeting your mom this past week where she told some of us about your life and how much you touched her. I know your up there watching over your mom What a great gift you are to her. HUGS to your family.

I miss you but keep your spirit like a candle in my heart.

Chris had a smile that could light up the world. He was a good friend of ours in the climbing community and pushed all of us to be better. He was kind, considerate, caring, and most of all a very loving individual. My love goes out to him and his family. Chris we miss you, and thank you for being apart of our lives.

Gerald & Gay, We are sorry for your loss & are praying for you. Gary & Amy Chaffins

Mr. and Mrs. Hale, I do not know how to express the sadness that is in my heart; nor do I know how to somehow help alleviate or even understand the utter pain that you both must be enduring. I regrettably did not have the privilege of knowing Christopher but I feel that by knowing you both I have gotten to know a part of him as well. Please know that I am praying for you both and that I believe that he is with god at this very moment in a much better place.
Dear God, please bless this...
