For the past 5 days I have pondered over every memory I have of you. From the time I met you 14 years ago to your last day you have always gone above & beyond for your loved ones as well as those you may not have known as well. You always made sure to tell everyone you loved that you loved them before leaving them even if you would see them in a hour. That is something I learned from you & your family to always let the ones you love be constantly reminded of that love. This is a trait I will always carry on & am proud to pass it on to my loved ones. Will always be sure to remind your children that you loved them & all that you did for them. I promise to always look out for Britni & all 5 of your children as I know you would want. I hope you are looking down on all of us & are at peace. Left lots of broken hearts when u parted... I hope you can see how much of a lasting effect you have made on so many. Wish I had, had one last chance to tell you I love ya & to tell you how amazing & important you are to us all, but that didn't get to happen. I do promise to always wish you a Happy Birthday on the Marine Corps bday & Wish you a Happy Veterans day every year, As I know how much it meant to you that I did that ever year. Will always miss you & keep memories of you as treasures in my heart <3 bye Love ya Chris.

Life.....so fragile, Loss....so sudden, Heart....so broken,...in the wake of such a loss, we are haunted by things we dont, and may never understand. Yet the solace we seek may not come from answers. So we look for comfort in the belief of love's everlasting connection. May that love lift you and hold you close, and give you peace.
