Thinking of you so much. Walked through the neighborhood today and you were with me, as you were when you so many times before. Chris, I cannot begin to tell you how much I miss you, how I want to speak with you and hear you voice. It's hard not having my other half here. Sending you love

Happy Birthday, Chris! I visited your memorial bench this morning. It was quite and peaceful. I was 2 hawks flying overhead and some rabbits enjoying the carrots I brought. How ai would give anything to be sitting there having a 2-way conversation with you! There is not a single day that goes by, where we are not thinking and missing you. Our family is forever changed. The void is deep. Trying to move forward without you is painful . Hoping you are free, happy and full of joy. Sending you love. I was the luckiest sister in the world.

Dearest Chris, today would have been your 55th birthday. I found this photo on Mom's phone. What a beautiful smile! We are all missing you so much! I turned on the radio this morning and the Eagles came on. Thanks for sending the song, brother. I sure hope you know how much you're loved. I hope you are soaring somewhere high above the clouds wild and free but I would still give anything to have another one of our conversations. David also sends his best. Your best friend misses you. You have friends on FB sending you birthday wishes. I hope you can see this. Lots of people love you!!! Sending you love.

Hi Chris! Well, We all went to Andrew's show Saturday. It was a tough day for him, as we were all missing you so much. We were remembering how we were all together for last year's show. You are such an important part of all our lives that it is difficult to go on without you beside us. I miss our nightly conversations so much and your silly jokes. Most of all I miss ypur smile and yoyr hugs. As Holly and I were walking back to the hotel, we saw the large sign the reaf "Chris Auto Shop." Of course we both had to cry. Love and miss you my dear sweet brother. You'd have been proud of Andrew. Sending you a giant hug.

Hugging you, Brother!

Hey Chris, thinking of you, as usual. Did some paperwork for you today. Cannot get used to speaking if you in the past tense. It's awful. I still keep expecting you to walk through my front door for one of our late night hot cocoa visits on your way home frim work. We all went on your favorite hike Sunday and your were with us. Afterwards, we went out for breakfast. It was a beautiful day. You would've loved it. How I wish we could have shared this together, as we'd planned. I hope you know how very much you are loved my dear sweet brother.
