Christopher Ray Piland

As a boyfriend you were very impactful on my life. I think about you constantly and you will never be forgotten. I will come visit you as often as possible and keep your memory alive in my heart. As you stare down from heaven and see how much you are loved and missed, I hope you are at Peace as an Angel. I´d give anything to Watch you kiss your biceps and say, in the funniest way possible, "Welcome to the Gun Show!", just one more time. You are so full of life. So we´re funny, so...

Having just stumbled upon the news of Chris's passing, I am compelled to express my sincere condolences. Although I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Chris, I know that he (and Calley) is/are the pride and joy of your family; and I can appreciate your utter devastation at his loss. Yet, I know that Chris lives in a realm so glorious that we cannot imagine it and that he will cover his precious child with wings of steel to shield and guide him in a way more powerful than he could have done...

My condolences to Chris's family--I know how hard it is to lose a child. I hope the happy memories will soon bring smiles.
