Christopher L. "Chris" Welch

Sid I am so very sorry to hear of Chris' passing. He was much too young to leave this world. My heart breaks for you and your family. Surely one of the most difficult challenges in life is for a parent to bury a child. My thoughts have been with you and your family these past few days. I pray you will find peace in the many good memories you have.

Sid, Penny & all of the Buecker & Welch families -
I'm so very sorry for your loss. I've not seen Chris since he was a kid, but he sounds like a great guy that was taken far too soon.
And Sid - he's a spitting image of you. So very, very sorry my friend. I know your heart is breaking.
And Penny - it's been years since I've seen you, but
I can't even imagine what you're going through.
Many prayers for all of you. God must have needed him more than we realized.

My heart is so sad. I wish I would've connected with Christopher when I moved back to Southern Illinois a year ago. He has a special place in my heart forever. Christopher and I connected through music, especially through Queen, Christopher loved this band as soon as I had him listen to them. We would jam at full blast in the barn house so many years ago when I helped out watching Christopher and Elisabeth I am related through Grandpa Bill. Elisabeth, Christopher, my brother Craig and I...

My husband and I only met Chris once, and it was just in the last couple of months. We were so impressed with his sense of humor, quit wit, and happy, vibrant spirit. My husband said, "I'd like to be friends with that guy and hang out with him." We're so sorry for your loss. Just wanted you know he left an impression on people he met even in the briefest of encounters.

Chris I pray you have the peace you deserve, you will be missed my friend.

Dear Penny & the Buecker Family,
