Memories and Condolences
for Christopher MacInnis

Not sure what to say?





March 12, 2003

To the McInnis Family,

. I was a Billerica High freshman when Chris was a senior. Although I was never formally introduced to Chris, his presence was always well known. Whether through his unforgettable smile, or his upbeat personality, a memorable impression was left on everyone around him. My thoughts and prayers are with you through this painful time.

Deepest sympathy to the MacInnis Family. My heart was broken to hear the news of such a terrible accident to such a wonderful person, to such a wonderful family.



Sad to say I haven't seen Christopher in a few years, but I can still remember his wonderful smile. He had that something "special" about him that would make anyone love him. I regret that we didnt get to know each other even better. But the memories I do carry of him will be cherished forever.



Im sure there is a special place for Chris in Heaven since he was such a special person. May God be there to console you. May all the special memories of Chris help to ease your pain.

Chris was such a wonderful person and he deserved to do so much more in life. The only solace we can have is that he left a little piece of himself with everyone he met. Because of that, he will be remembered for many years to come by so many people.



Chris - may you always rest in peace with the Angels. May God give your family, your girlfriend and all those close to you, the strength to get through such a difficult time.

To the McGinnis family. Living away from Billerica, I read the Lowell Sun online quite a bit and was completely overwhelmed the story of Chris. I went to school with Chris & I fondly remember him. I didn't know him very, very well but he always had a smile for me - he was always so cheerful. Bernie, my brother Rob sends his sympathy to you and your family as well. You are in my thoughts & prayers. I'm so sorry.
