Christopher Meyer

Dear Chris

I still can't believe you left us, and reading the condolence on this guest book makes me cry and I couldn't even finish reading them all . . .

I believe that you can still hear my message from wherever your soul is taking a rest. You and Monica were the most beautiful and nice couple I ever met. I was so moved to see how much you and Monica supported and cared for each other. You also cared about other people who were in need. It made me a deep impression...

Chris fue un gran ser humano y extraordinario guerrero. Mi hijo Rodolfo de 6 años, tuvo la fortuna de pasar unos dias cerca de Chris y de jugar con el. Yo conservare esas imagenes para siempre en mi corazon. Chris cumplio una gran mision con su existencia, la de acompañar a Moni, a su familia y de darnos muchos mensajes al resto que lo conocimos. El principal fue..vivir, existir, ser feliz y nunca darnos por vencidos. Gracias Chris.

I do not have any words in my head to comfort, to avoid sadness or to bring peace for those who suffer right now. I just want to express that all the love we feel for Chris and all the love he gave us, will remain forever among us and hopefully, it will inspire us to live a better life, to be better human beings and enjoy happiness when we have it around us. He was my favorite brother and I will miss him, but I will draw a smile on my face whenever I think of him.

I was moved by this obituary and I didn't even know Christopher. I am a fellow young art historian, on a similar career path, who is humbled by his accomplishments in such a short time. I sense a great loss in his passing.

I used to work with Dr. Lara as her assistant. Last Christmas, I received her wedding's photos. In the photos, her husband and she were so young, beautiful, happy, and in love. This is picture that I will keep in my mind whenever I think about you, my dear Dr. Lara. I miss you and wish you will be strong.

Monica, I am sorry for the grief you and your family are feeling. The few times I got to meet Chris were great and I wish I could have known him better. Christina and I will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely
Dan and Christina OKeefe(Boston MA)

My husband Sergio and I have the fondest memories of Chris (Chiquis), whom we met through his wife and our dearest friend Monica. His bright and constant smile will stay in our hearts forever! We are going to miss him very much. A warm hug for Monica and Chris' family.

I only had two opportunities to spend time with Chris but know him like a brother through my sweet friend Monica. Though his time was so short his light was bright and will forever shine in all of our hearts. My deepest condolences to Moni, his parents, brother and extended family.

Since our children attended the same grade school, I have shared many of Chris's life events through his mother. He was indeed an exceptional person. He will be missed but not forgotten.
