Our beautiful son... You were so loved. As God holds you in His arms. May you find the solace, comfort and peace this world could not give you.

Until we meet again, you will be sorely missed.

I still can't believe my brother is gone and not around to make all the silly faces that he did to Meredythe and Morgan. But I know he is making those same faces with the angels. There won't be a day that I don't think of him. But I know he is at peace and watching over all of us and we will all be together some day again. Thanks to all that attended his "going away" services. He had a great send off and I only wish he truly knew how loved he was when he walked this earth. But now...I know...he knows. He IS over the rainbow.

Though it's hard to understand why this beautiful life has ended, but God had a plan and called him home. Chris was my best friend, my soul mate and the love of my life. I will miss him dearly. He is now dancing with the angels (and entertaining them)and is looking out for all of you. Don't be afraid to talk to him, he is listening. He loved each and everyone of you with all his heart. My prayers are with you. Love Mary
