Dear Wayne and Carol

I was shocked to here of Chris's passing. I can remember him crying as a little baby because our houses were right next to each other.

I also remember Chris would see me dressed in a McDonald's uniform, and yelling "McDonals's" when I went to work.

The last time I saw Chris was when he came over to set up the Christmas decorations at your house Christmas 2007 I think. I told him that it looked nice, and he thanked me.

God Bless,

Sarah

I will remember Chris as a five year old boy, when Jimmy and I would help Carol and Wayne put together christmas toys. I had to be careful not to tell him that I put it together, because Santa did of course... I did not know you very well in the past ten years, and for that I am sad... But I will always remember you. We all will.

Chris was born to save people. I know he saved me. He could never pass the opportunity to help someone. From the moment I met him, he took care of me. He was my best friend for years, and though we drifted apart as we grew up, he will always be in the center of my heart. By far, one of the most amazing people I have ever known, I am so grateful to have had him in my life. I will love you forever, Chris. -Dre

Carol and Wayne,
My deepest sympathy in the loss of Christopher. I know how much you loved him and were truly blessed to have him in your life. He was born the year I graduated from high school and I vividly remember the day we received the call. Mary and Joe were so happy. I remember how Joe wanted to buy Christopher his shoes when he was little, I thought it was so cute, he was so proud of him.They were always so happy when he came to Marblehead to visit. I know that Mary and Joe were there to welcome Christopher into heaven. Please know that you are in my prayers and may God bless you during this difficult time.
Love, Beth (Cashman)Costa

Chris will be remembered forever as a great friend to all. He spent many weekends at my house in Brentwood and was always the first one up in the morning cooking breakfast with me. I have wonderful memories of Chris, and he will be deeply missed.

In the 20 years I knew Chris, we were always good friends, almost brothers. He was always genuinely happy to see you, no matter how long it had been between visits. He left us too soon and he will truly be missed.

We had a lot of fun together. You are forever in my heart! Your loving babysitter~Stacy
