hey brother,
just wanted to tell you how much i miss you- so, so, so much. it's so hard to go on each day thinking about how we should be experiencing so many more things together.
i can't believe that it will be five years ago tomorrow since i last saw you. that was a fun day- superbowl at harold and gloria's. i wish we were spending superbowl together tomorrow. i wish we could have more time together. i wish you could have known cruz and emme. i wish that when we come to fresno for holidays that you and clay could play basketball together. i wish you could see audrey grow up to be such a sweet little girl.
i'm sorry for the times that i wasn't the best sister. but i love you very much and always will. i know you are happy and in a wonderful place- i have no doubt. but for us here, it is still sadness that often overwhelms us when we think of how much we miss you. but remembering the times we shared together helps bring comfort during this time of year.
i love you brother. miss you lots!
love,
your sister kirsten

Dear Christopher,
I really miss you and it hurts me that you are not here. I know that you are watching and I feel that you are always with us, just in a different way. I know we all still think about you and our hearts still miss that you are not here. I love you and miss you!
Love,
Stephanie

Hey Brother,
I just wanted to say how much you mean to me. I can't believe that it has been four years now since I've seen you. Although time has passed, I haven't forgotten you. I feel so happy to have had you in my life. I miss you and wish so much to hug you. I am sad that our time together as parents was cut short. I know that we would have had so much fun with our kids together. I know you are in a better place. But those of us still on Earth still hurt and miss you anyway. I love you and please know how special you were to me and know I haven't forgotten you. I love you Christopher.
Love, Kirsten

Dear Chris,
I was just thinking about you today and I wanted to let you know how happy I am that I was a part of your life and you mine. I can feel that you are always around which brings me comfort and I appreciate that. I extremely miss you and wish I could just give you one last hug. I have dreamed about you recently but it was not the same as the first. I just wanted to let you know that I miss and love you so much! And I want to thank you for being there for me when I am sad or upset, I know that you are listening and it makes me feel good. It makes me so much less sad to know that I can always talk to you. Thank you for being a great cousin. I love you!

Christopher,
Today is your birthday. I miss you so much. I think about you all of the time. And I am so thankful that you were born so that I could have a brother. You were a great brother and I miss spending time with you and talking to you on the phone. My life is better because you were a part of it. I love you.
Love,
Sissy

Dear Chris,
There isn't one day that goes by that I don't think about you. I am sorry that it has taken me this long to sign your guest book but it is really hard for me to express how deeply sad I am and how much I extremely miss you. I know that you hear me talking to you everyday but it's not the same without you. You are more then a brother to me, you are a great friend. I think I miss your voice and your smile the most. I fear as time goes on I will forget the little things that you used to do like, the ways you always called me chuck, the way you gave high fives, the way you were such a good father and just you. I miss you so bad that it hurts when I think about you. I love you so much Chris and I wish that you were still here. You will forever be with me till I see you again!
Love You Always,
Steph

I have known Chris for many years and ever since I moved to San Diego we lost touch and I just found out about his tragedy. I am so sad to hear what happened and that I wasn't informed and that I couldn't make it to the service. I spent many years with him and he will always be in my prayers. I love you Chris and I hope the family is doing well now. And for his wife and little girl hang in there.

Kirsten,Renee,and Casey,
Your sadness and grief must be overwhelming at this difficult time. Know that the entire Maldonado family is lifting you up in prayer. Chris was one of those great "Lincoln Boys" that I was fortunate to have had in 2nd grade. We will rejoice in knowing he touched so many lives in a positive way. Blessings.

Casey, Renee, & Family,
Nothing we can say will ease your pain. We hope you will find comfort in knowing that someday you will joyfully reunite with Chistopher. God must have plans for him now. He was a wonderful, loving, happy, and fun person. I am sorry we could not be at the service to celebrate his life with you and to tell him "so long and c-ya later!".
We remember the first time he brought Audrey over to our house to see us. He was such a proud and good father! This was obvious to everyone who knew him, she was his joy. He left you a beautiful granddaughter to love. She seems to have his happy-go-lucky personality. We know he is watching over her from above and is her Guardian Angel. He will be forever in our thoughts and heart.
Love,
Ken & Sigi Powell

I just want to send my regards to his family and his wife and daughter. I use to play soccer with Chris for the clovis rowdies(man he could jump high for the ball) and want to say that he was always a good friend to me. He enjoyed life and would always be smiling no matter what. I remember him coming into my work in clovis with his wife and daughter and had that same joyness to him(actually more since he had his baby). I will always remember his great attitude and cool attitude that he had. Again i'm sorry to family, but just remember that he will always be with us no matter what. We're all going to miss you Chris, and you will never be forgotten.

The childhood memories i hold of Kirsten and I always involve Christopher. Usually it was him making fun of the fact that we listened to New Kids on the Block or calling us names, but that's what little brothers are there for. He is truely on the better side sharing the path with God. So much love to the Casey, Rene, Kirsten and everyone who shares the memories and joy of Christopher.

My deepest sympathy to the entire Clinger Family. Chris never said "good bye" or "see ya"...it was always "have a good one!"
HAVE A GOOD ONE, CHRIS!
WE'LL MISS YOU!

I haven't seen Christopher since High School, but will never forget him. He was mischievous but funny, he could make anyone laugh. I feel truly blessed that I was able to know him and my heart goes out to his family and close friends.

Christopher,
I think that you were about 4 years old when I met you. You used to come in with your Mom to work to get Daddy's paycheck. I was across the hall, so I never missed you. I remember coming to your house to visit in the evening, and starting to wrestle, just about bedtime to really "wind you up" so it was hard to get you to go to bed. I remember when you lived at the apartment and I came over while Daddy was working and took you and Kirsten swimming. Jump in to me - swim to the side.... jump in to me swim to the side..... I'll remember your love of the Falcons, I knew where to give my tickets and who would appreciate them the most. Rest in peace little buddy, you'll never be forgotten, for we all have our memories and no one can take those away from us.

Having known the Clinger family for many years, I truly know what a unique, funny, and very loving person Christopher was. I will always keep the memories of him, especially when he was a child and I used to babysit him... he would entertain me for hours on end! While he will most certainly be missed by all who knew him, I find peace knowing he is in a better place and by God's side. My thoughts and prayers are with you Casey, Renee, Kirsten and your entire family.

Chris-
I have known you since I can remember and when I was in Highschool you put me under your wing and helped me out.You always treated me like family.You were the first person besides me to ever hold my daughter and the day she was born you glowed as if she was your own. You were a brother to me and an awesome uncle to Sicily. Your will be forever remembered and I miss you so much already. Just think Christopher, if it wasn't for you I would have never had Sicily. Thanks a bunch.When it's time for us to meet agian I will be ready with open arms. There are no words to describe the way I feel right now. We Love you Christopher.Don't worry about your girls I will make sure they are Ok.
Love Always,
