Not sure what to say?

Cheers, Chrisie! Miss you and love you to the moon and back. Keep an eye on your nephew and niece. Things are heating up with two teens in the house! -Kid

Hi Chris, Thanks for being around this summer with the butterflies. I saw you waving at me yesterday near St. B's. Hope you have something special planned for the 29th. I know there will be lots of music involved, Cubans, and drinks galore. Hugs to you and Dad, pets to Mika, Indie, and all the kitties. Tell Rita I am looking forward to meeting her. Love, Kid

Hope you're having a good day today with Dad. Do something fun! You deserve it. We all miss you, but we'll see you later. Love, Kid

Chris,
What does Dad always say? " I have good news. And I have bad news. Tradition dictates the bad news comes first". Then he usually follows that up with admitting he actually has no good news. These days it's a lot like this most days. I think about you pretty much daily still, but the crying has subsided. I feel like not much time has gone by since you left us, but then I look at Anie and realize a lot of time has gone by. 15 years this year . It helps you have always...

Happy Birthday, Sweetheart. This would have been your big 4-OH. It makes me feel so old to realize I have a child of that age, but thinking of you always makes my heart light. Even though I miss you so much. You should be here and we should be preparing a surprise party for you. But, we could never make a celebration for you that could compare in any way to the happiness you have where you are now. I am only sad for myself today, and for your little niece and nephew who will never know...

Dearest Chris,
Not a day passes that we do not think of you in one way or another. This month marks five years since we had to say goodbye. Still, I feel you with me and I know you will always be a strong force in all our lives. So much of you lives on in the very best in all of us. Our hearts will never again be whole, but they have never been stronger, either. You showed us that nothing is impossible where there is courage. We miss you and will always love you.
Mom

Chris,
Another year has passed , and now it's four years since we last enjoyed your wonderful laugh and our good times together. I can still see your eyes twinkling at a good story. We all miss you so much. The scholarship fund in your name at UMD is growing, thanks to the many people whose hearts and lives you touched. Your love and spirit lives on, sweetheart. And thank you for sending the butterflies. I see your smile again in each one.
Mom

Dear Chris,
Has it already been three years since we had to say goodbye. Your dad and brother and I spent this sad anniversary with Nikki and Bob in Milwaukee. Little Anie is 2 now and looks so much like you. She definitely has your personality--and your curls! How I wish she could have known her Uncle Chrissy. But I know you are watching over her, whispering all kinds of mischief-making schemes in her ear!
I was thinking how much all of us who knew you and loved you have changed...

Chris: Thank you for being a part of my life. After three years, it's still hard for me to believe I can't pick up the phone and call you, meet you at a show, or share my thoughts about the latest CD I bought. I will always miss you.
