Well it's been 14 years that you've been gone. It's still so hard to believe that you're gone. My 47th birthday was yesterday. Worst birthday yet, but it's messing with my mind to know I'll be 50 in 3 years. .
I know we will see each other again, before u know it.i love and miss you more and more everyday.

Hi Sweetie,
Miss you every single day.Life without you is not the same.I miss our long nightly conversations so much. I have so much to share with you but sure you already know.Suppose we never realize how different life could be without your favorite person in it. I love you but you already know that as well as talk to you like you are still here every night.When my time is near I know we will be together again and that keeps me going. I go to Church and light a candle three or four times a week and that helps until we will be together and thank you Chris for the signs as It helped my already broken heart.Love and miss you and you were always the most precious gift in life.Give Mom Mom and Pop Pop my love and tell Max that Itchy and I miss him but we know he is with all of you.You always knew Chris and I love you for that.Night Sweetie and God Bless.

Dear Chris,
Happiest moment of my life was being your Mom.Your Dad and I were so anxious for the day you would be in our life and we knew you were a gift from God. I will never forget the moment we were told we were going to be Parent's and will never forget how anxious we were for the day you would be ours.Mother's Day is bitter sweet but I am so thankful for the time you were here with us and the memories we do have.Love You,Mom

DEAR CHRIS,
HAPPY NEW YEAR. YESTERDAY, I PICTURED A RAINBOW AND YOU HELD IT IN YOUR HANDS. YOU KNOW THAT EVERY NIGHT CHRIS YOU FILL THE SKIES WITH BEAUTY AND LOVE. I ALWAYS WAS THE ONE WHO SPOKE ABOUT WINGS BUT YOU WERE THE ONE WHO GOT TO FLY...WE ALL WONDER,GUESS AND JUST TRY IN THIS WORLD AND NOW YOU JUST KNOW ALL THE THINGS WE COULD POSSIBLY EVER WONDER ABOUT IN LIFE. ALL THIS GIVES ME STRENGTH AND HOPE THAT YOU ARE IN A GOOD PLACE WHERE NOTHING COULD BE MORE PERFECT.PLUS YOU GET TO SEE EVERY PRECIOUS DREAM AND VISON UNDERNEATH THE STARS AND THAT IS ALWAYS A GOOD THING. ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT YOU LEFT US ALL WAY TOO SOON.BUT WE WILL BE TOGETHER ONE DAY WHEN THE SUN DISAPPEARS AND THEN WE WILL RACE ONE ANOTHER TO THE LIGHT. ONE THING ALL THIS HAS TAUGHT ME IS THAT MAGIC DOES NOT HAPPEN WITHOUT PATIENCE. GOSH, I HAVE HAD TO LEARN TO BE PATIENT. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH CHRIS AND I MISS THAT YOU WERE THE ONE PERSON THAT COULD ALWAYS FEEL THE PAIN OF OTHERS. YOU ARE SO MISSED BUT ONE DAY WE WILL BE TOGETHER AND THIS IS WHERE I MUST HAVE THAT PATIENCE AND FAITH. LOVE YOU, MOM

Hello Chris. Once again we are in the holiday season, this used to be my favorite tome of year. now a days I just can't wait for them to be over. Some of the best and most memorable times are that of holidays in Tampa hanging out with you and your family... Starr and I had a nice chat reminiscing about the good old days when we would all get together. I miss those days and I miss you my very dear friend. I know you are much better where you are right now and that is what keeps us that miss you from greater heartache and because of our faith in god full of hope knowing we will all see one another again. I hope you had a good Thanksgiving and wish you a merry Christmas.
Your friend

DEAR CHRIS,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY...THE DAY YOU WERE BORN WAS THE HAPPIEST DAY IN MY LIFE AND I KNOW THE SAME GOES FOR YOUR DAD. WE WERE BLESSED WITH THIS ADORABLE LITTLE BOY WHO ALWAYS FOUND A WAY TO ASTONISH US IN THINGS LIKE WALKING SO EARLY AND REMEMBERING THE WORDS TO SONGS FROM HEARING THEM ONLY A FEW TIMES AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON...YOU WERE SO SMART. EVEN BEFORE YOU WERE BORN YOUR DAD WOULD SING A PAUL ANKA SONG TO YOU. SO MAYBE YOU GOT YOUR TALENT FROM HIM. NOW WE ONLY HAVE MEMORIES AND ALL WE COULD HOPE FOR IS THAT YOU ARE AT PEACE AND THAT YOU HAVE A HAPPY BIRTHDAY IN YOUR ETERNAL HOME AND MAY EVERY DAY BE A HAPPY ONE. I SUPPOSE THIS IS ALL A PARENT COULD ASK FOR WHEN THINGS ARE OUT OF THEIR HANDS. FOR US ALL HOLIDAYS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME WITHOUT YOU AND I COULD NEVER SEND ENOUGH LOVE SO UNTIL WE ALL MEET AGAIN A SIMPLE I LOVE YOU WILL HAVE TO DUE...FOR NOW...LOVE..MOM

Chris,
I never imagined that losing you would be so hard for so long. I figured, like everything else I've lost in my life it would go away, I could turn my emotions off, but I can't. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU AND NO ONE WILL EVER COMPARE TO YOU. I will never find what we had and don't want to. You were the one I would have spent my life with, no one else. I guess ill wait till I see you again. I love you!!!

DEAR CHRIS
THE HAPPIEST DAY IN MY LIFE WAS THE DAY YOU WERE BORN.AFTERALL, AS MOM'S WE KNOW OUR CHILD NINE MONTHS BEFORE ANYONE ELSE..I EVEN PREDICTED WE WOULD HAVE A BOY AND HE WOULD HAVE BLUE EYES AND BLONDE HAIR. FELT I SAW YOU IN MY DREAMS AND SOMEHOW I JUST KNEW..I WAS SO ANXIOUS FOR YOU TO BE IN OUR LIFE.YOU WERE THE BEST BABY . I NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHEN PEOPLE WOULD SAY THEY WERE UP ALL NIGHT FOR YOU WERE SO CONTENT AND HAPPY.YOU DID EVERYTHING SO QUICKLY..LIKE WALKING AT 8 MONTHS.WOW.. NO ONE COULD BELIEVE IT. YOU SANG BARRY MANILOW SONGS FROM START TO FINISH AND YOU DID NOT SEEM ANYWHERE NEAR AN AGE TO BE DOING THAT.YOU WERE SO SMART.WE WERE SO BLESSED TO HAVE HAD SUCH A GOOD LOVING BOY.YOU WERE SO SWEET AND KIND AND JUST SO ADORABLE..WHEN I WOULD TAKE YOU TO THE MALL YOU ALWAYS STOPPED EVERYONE FOR YOU WERE NOT SHY AND MOST JUST HAD TO SAY HOW CUTE YOU WERE AND THEN YOU ENTERTAINED THEM WITH DANCING OR SINGING. IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TAKE YOU ANYWHERE BUT I ALWAYS DID AND ALL THE WAY HOME WE SANG. I WOULD ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO THE WORDS MOM,I LOVE YOU OR YOU ARE THE BEST. BUT IN REALITY I WAS THE LUCKY ONE FOR YOU WERE THE LIGHT OF MY LIFE.I WILL NEVER GET OVER YOU. I SO MISS THOSE LATE NIGHT CALLS. YES I ADMIT IT ..I MISS THEM.I MISS SO MANY THINGS CHRIS.. I WANT YOU TO KNOW I WOULD GIVE UP EVERYTHING JUST TO HEAR YOU SAY MOM ONE MORE TIME. BUT I WILL HAVE TO SETTLE FOR WHEN WE MEET AGAIN..YOU WILL ALWAYS BE THE BRIGHTEST LIGHT IN MY LIFE..SO MUCH LOVE.. MOM

DEAR CHRIS,
I HAVE REALIZED THAT BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE. BEING HUMAN LEAVES US FREE TO HURT OTHERS AND GOD CAN'T STOP US WITHOUT TAKING AWAY THE FREEDOM THAT MAKES US HUMAN. GOD COULD ONLY LOOK DOWN WITH PITY AND COMPASSION ON THE INNOCENT VICTIMS AS WE ARE ALL HIS CHILDREN. THIS LINE OF REASONING IS THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES ME UNDERSTAND WHY YOU ARE NO LONGER HERE WITH US CHRIS FOR MY HEART WILL NEVER LET YOU GO. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND A X-MASS WILL NEVER BE QUITE THE SAME WITHOUT YOU. MERRY X-MASS SWEETIE AND DON'T WORRY I WILL NEVER LET GO. LOVE, MOM

Chris, I am always so terribly saddened that you left this world too soon and yet grateful for the time that you had here as your Mother's son. I see the infinite grief of those who lost you and loved you and know how special you are! Please keep sending love and angels this way to your Mom and Bruce. Always & Forever, Sister

Dear Chris,
I wanted to make sure as you always did with me that I was the first to wish you Happy Birthday. I wish that there was some magical way to make the pain go away but there isn't. I love you so much and words will never describe how much you are missed. The happiest day in life was the day you were born. I never thought life could be so wonderful. It seems like yesterday that we were talking about life and just everything. I am lost without you and no matter what anyone says it never takes away the heartache. To me you are the only bright light in the sky when I look up at night. Plus I know you have blessed me in many ways by protecting me with angels. But as humans we are selfish and want more and I want you in this world. In the meantime I trust you are in the best of hands. I love you and that you know is always a given. Happy Birthday Son..Make a wish and make it a good one. Forgive me for wanting more but I am just a Mother and I still have not figured everything out and why this happened to our only Child. Love..Mom

To My Valentine,
It seems like yesterday we shared so much and yet in reality I now have to realize you are now eternally Home but always in my heart. You, my Son are where we all aspire to go once we leave this world. You never were anyone but yourself and you never tried to be someone you were not. You had a special gift with people. For those of us who were part of your life we are all better for having known you. I am blessed to have been your Mother and never take that title for granted. I could say so much but I just want to wish you Happy Valentine's Day..There is not much in life I am certain about but I am certain you were one of the better Angels in this world. That makes me smile. I love you so very much Chris and nothing takes the pain away but there is the thought of just doing the best possible to be a good person so I get to join you when my time in this world is completed. Take Care of all of us Chris. We all need you watching over us. God Bless you Sweetie. Love,Mom

Dear Chris,
Well another year has gone by and the most difficult part is you were not here to share it with us. Oh how I wish you were here...The Football Games are not the same.. Nothing is quite the same without you to share things with. I love you so much and I know you have to be in Heaven so it must be wonderful there every day and this I have to believe Chris or I do not stand a chance of ever being happy so you my Son have a Happy New Year.. You are loved and missed more each and every day. It seems like yesterday that you were taken from us so suddenly. Give my best to everyone up there. Love, Mom

Dear Chris,
So sorry I have not been in touch. For me this is a long time.. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. I gave thanks to God for the years he gave me you for I was truly blessed even though our time was brief. I am a little down and out over the Holidays in general but that is nothing new. The pain is almost unbearable... Heard from a good Friend of yours and that helped lift my spirits on Thanksgiving Day. What I wanted to tell you is that I will miss you more than you will ever know over Christmas. Sometimes to be honest I want to block it all out.. Who am I kidding for I miss you every single day and the pain hurts so badly I have no idea how to explain it but Holidays are even more difficult... There are times I wonder how I will get through one day to the next. But I will manage for your sake for I know you would expect nothing less of me...I was watching a Movie last night and if you were here I would have called and we would have discussed it and did our normal ritual of giving our own version of how we liked the Movie... Miss that so very much.. It was extremely good ( In my opinion). To make a long story short at the end it said the Lord Giveth and the Lord Taketh Away...Sometimes we will never know why but someday it will all make sense. I look for every little sign to make sense of things but so far I am still a work in progress. I love you Chris so much and please have a Merry Christmas and hopefully you are at eternal peace. Until we meet again you will always be the bightest star in the sky..All my Love, Mom

Hi Chris,
Just stopped to see your Mom and make sure she is ok for I was unable to reach her. You know how much she likes just dropping in. Laughing, for she doesn't like it at all. I am sorry to be late in writing to you but trust me you are not forgotten. I had to go away for a few days and hope you know it was not intentional not to be on time. Your Mom is doing her best to do her usual and put on a good front face but she she needs you to always watch over her Handsome and you must never forget this. You are missed and well your Mom will never let go. Not ever and I can't say I blame her. Being a Mom myself I would be the same way and even give her credit for going onward the way she has for I know she is in great pain. We all love you Chris and thanks for all the good you brought to this world. We truly are all better for knowing you. So much love, Kim

Hello Chris,
Its always the saddest time of the year for us down here on earth having to go day to day without you. I think of you nearly every day. I will always hold close to me the great times we had. Keep an eye on us, we will see you again some time soon. I miss you brother.

Chris, I'm so sorry that you left this world so early. Please continue to watch out over your mom and send her blessings and love. Sister
