Dear Christopher ... just over a month since September 17th. It is still impossible to understand what happened to you that day. Not in this life I guess.
You must be so proud of your Crystal and son. She is a good Mommy and will always look after your son Blake.
There are many "first" coming up. They will be hard for all of us that are left behind. Your leaving us has created a large hole in the family.
We shall carry on as that is what you would want us to do.
Miss you Grandson
Love, Grandma & Grandpa

Dear Christopher .. just over a month since you left so suddenly. I still have a hard time understanding September 17th and all that happened.
You must be so proud of Crystal and your little son. They are doing so well. Crystal is a good little Mommy and I know she will always look after your son Blake.
So many "first" events are coming up and I know it is going to be hard for all of us that are left here. You not being there leaves a huge hole in the family.
We will carry on. Miss you Grandson.

Christopher I just wanted you to know you are still with me and your dad. We think of you everywhere we go, we don't cry with saddness we cry with the wonderful memories and you would do that or that should be you. We know you are happy because that is you, and we know you will always watch over all of us. We will always be there for Crystal and Blake Ryan, they are stuck with us, they are so wonderful.
Christopher we will talk one day and I will treasure that day, I hope I made you proud to call me mom because I was so proud to call you my son.
Take care McDuffy and I will get those yellow and white flowers and have them always with me.
Keep being our GENTLE GIANT ANGEL and let us know you are still here.

Love you and miss you
your mom

Chris...everywhere I go something you said or did comes with me..thanks for being such a good friend and such a big part of my life, and my family's life, you were a king among men....your memory will live on with us with respect and admiration...

Laughlin family..
words cannot express the loss you must be feeling, but if ever there is anything we can do, just to be a voice or tell a story, feel free to grab the phone and call us, or send a text or anything else that you might need.

Love always,
