Dear Babes, it is Feb 01, 2021 and the years are flying yet we keeping holding up hope for a light of truth and justice. We seems to be taking so many steps backs that the future seems missed some where out there. Will we ever see a light of hope and a light of peace in this life time. I will keep hoping and praying, Son that one day it will come. I love and miss you every day..stay close by me..my love, Mummy

My Handsome and Beautiful, Christopher,
It is 12 years and yet the pain is as bold as Oct 19th 2007 when I was looking for you so desperately, I still feel that shakiness in my bones like I can crumble into pieces at any time.. some how I am still breathing. Thank you for giving me your strength at moments when I think I cannot go on..miss you and love you with each breathe I take..Mum..

It is June 13th, 2019 - life continues to be a pain without you, but I know at least I have someone to talk to in spirit. Even though, it is silent, I always receive your response in beautiful uplifting ways. Thank you for always being by my side. I love you so much, Babes, it is quite difficult to write in words. Love always - Mum

It was a difficult Christmas, Chris. More painful the ever was. There are so many aspects that is not going right for justice. It seems that I have to accept it because there is nothing I can do to change the outcome. I have no control over decision makers. More unpleasant news to come. Some times it seems too much to accept and absorb. My heart is shattering in pieces overall again. Lets just hold each, we are all I have. Love you Babes..Mum

Sept 19, 2015 - marks 8 years and 11 months - I went to light a candle at your resting place - some kind person had put lovely red flowers by the stone head. Despite the rain, someone came to visit. Thank you to the kindness of friends and strangers - your support is so much appreciated.

Just can't believe that Oct 19th 2015 will be 9 years when they took you away from me. I really don't know how I survived these years, but if you see how I live tells it all. Each day, I return to an empty and lonely home after work, where once there was so much happiness and love.

There are many days I wish I was with you instead of here. At times, it is very cold and lonely without you. But we have ensure that we march forth to get justice, so that the future generation will be save.

Loving and missing you with each heart beat - just as the song says "I miss the sound of your heartbeat" Mum

Eileen...all I would like to say is this. Your handsome son lives in the hearts of all those who knew him. May God give you the strength to deal with this tragedy...remember that JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL. (I am Margaret's classmate from St. Josephs).

Chris, Today is a Beautiful Day in 7 years. This is the first positive step towards justice for you, and I know you are smiling down upon us. Hold my hand as we move to the next trial and lets hold each forward.

Loving you with every breath

It is June 23, 2014 - Chris yet today seems unbearable kinda of day. It is summer once again, so very beautiful outside, with the sun's warm glow on my skin and wind blowing smoothly around me, yet I feel cold inside..a sense of loss and incomplete without you.

I was told that with time all pain seem to heal, but with time, which is 6 years 8 months today, and it seems like yesterday, that you were taken away. With time, it only reminds me that you are not here, enjoying this wonderful summer and long days. Everything seems quite and everyone seems to be humming away with their lives..ours..taken away by selfishness of a few, so broken that you have to come to earth to put the pieces togather.

There are days, I wish the heavens would open up and swollen me up but till then I have to live on and ensure that true justice is done for you..

Loving you, Mum

My Handsome Son, Chris

It is Mother's Day May 12th, 2013. Six Mother's Day have passed me without my precious son. Today I feel like I am not loving this world and I don't belong here but we all have to live through these times.

Hoping that tomorrow will bring a bright new ray of hope..

Love you, my precious Son, May the Lord hold you close in his arms.

Chris,

I haven't met you but I feel like I have through the stories I've heard from your family. I don't understand how I can miss someone that I've never met but I can't describe the feelings I have as anything other than I miss you.

I wish that I could have met you. I wish that we could have become friends and that we could both gang up on your sister and tease her. I wish I could make you a delicious meal and watch you inhale the food and smile while asking for 2nds and 3rds because I know you liked to eat A LOT.

I wish we could have celebrated your birthday together and not feel like today is now only a painful reminder of what I will never have.

I wish that I had the opportunity to love you as I love my own brother.

Regardless, I still want to wish you a Happy Birthday Chris. You are greatly missed.

Missing you, my Babes, Chris, 5 Christmas has passed without you, son, at home.

Life has definitely changed forever. I know you are looking down upon me, but it is not the same as having you at home with me.

I try very hard to look on the positive side and keep on believing.

Hold my hand, Chris and be with me.
I love you with every heart beat within me.

Missing you tremendously and there are no words of description of how I feel.

I can't believe its been almost 4 years since that tragic day when one young life was taken and so many other lives were changed forever. You cross my mind often, especially when I hear a certain song or drive past the apartment. I know you are in a better place with God but I just wanted you to know you are still missed ever so much. Keep your Mom, Dad and Patrina strong, they miss and hurt for you every day. You've changed my life, you've made me stronger and wiser on what is important in life- thank you for that.

Hey Babes: Just one more game to go. I am putting this picture in - that is saying "makes sure the cup comes home" I know you were watching and sending a message to Luongo - just hold off all the pressure for one more game.

Missing you so much, Chris on this very happy historic moments. I feel very cheated that you are not here to witness all the good that is happening around us in Vancouver.

But my son, I believe, you have the best seats in heaven and not matter what, you have this big happy smile all the time.

Missing you........Mum

Birthday Boy, Chris
My 26 years old baby, who would have by now graduated, still playing basketball, working out, probably with a beautiful girlfriend, living out in our basement. Remember, you said, "mum I will never moved out from home, who will look after you".

Babes, I wish you were here with me, thats all I want and have ever wanted. But that is not what it is now, somehow I have live with this fact, that it is I, who will be coming home to you some day, till then, I am going to survive and try very hard to ensure beautiful lives like yours are never lost.

It is May 31st and your Birthday. What a month it is! Mother's Day: May 8th, My Birthday: May 9th then comes your Birthday: May 31st. How do we live through all these days and still survive.

Your resting place is filled with flowers, and looks so peaceful and welcoming just as you were. At times, I feel the gentle breeze across my face when I am at your resting place and it seems you have gently blown a kiss towards me. I try to hang on to feel the gentle breeze but they always seems to blow away quietly.

I know deep in my heart that wherever you are, there is peace, happiness and lots of love in the arms of the Lord. I pray to him everyday to keep you warm in his care till we meet again. I believe God owes me big time and God knows that - he will never let go of you - I believe.......

Today it seems like the whole world have forgotten us but that is not true and we know that. I received many well wishes from your friends, my friends, work collegues, MLAs and MPs who simply remembered how much I am missing you.

I believe you have the best seats in heaven during the canuck games. What a fan you were. I just can see the big smile you always had when they won. I am simply sad that you are not here to see them through these most historic moments, only 4 more games to the cup, Chris.

I try to watch the games, but most of the time I switch off the TV - the arena is filled with so much joy and happiness that it hurts not to see you amongst those sitting and watching the game. But I have made my own conclusion, that you have the best seats in heaven, with this big smile and cheering on. If only you can send me the prediction, of "will the cup come home to Vancouver BC" you can see the future - please share this holy secret with me. You must be reading this and saying "mum you are crazy and shaking your head" yes I am but that is the power of believing in our love, son.

I love you so much and miss you in everything good that is happening but I will continue to believe that you will hold my hand and guide me through these most heartbreaking times.

Hang on to me, babes, and never let go.

Loving you, my son, and praying to keep on believing......
Mum

Hey Babes:
This year has been very difficult to start with, it has been 3.5 years since you were taken, and it just seems that I am lossing you all over again.

I have not had the strength to grace these pages because as soon as I start to write the tears just dont stop.

Completing the "Gangster next Door" documentary just bought back the real days we endured and still trying to get a grip of it all.

It was so good to get the message from Jenn and TR on your guest book. They tell me there are so much love in this world that we can share with each other and reach out to each other. I am so very grateful to read their message.

I have had so many people who I dont know, stop me on the streets downtown, on skytrain and every where I go - to tell me how very much courages of me to continue to stand up for what is right in our world and make this place a safer one for our future sons and daughters that they dont get involve in gang lifestyle. And also to parents to get involve with their children. Neighbours to keep a eye out of what is happening in their surroundings.

Yet it is still so very difficult keep walking tall and trying to keep my head straight on my shoulders.

There so many people in this world that have beautiful hearts and soul and keep reaching out to me. I truly believe that you are sending all these lovely people, my way to help me to keep believing that just maybe one day, our long sort out mircle just might be around the corner.

I am believing in our love, Chris and I know you are there, all I have to do is to close my eyes to feel our love.

Loving you, mum.

Hello Ms. Mohan,

I lost my wonderful son Alan aged 22 years on January 16th, 2010 at 11:15am to cancer. Like you, I am totally devastated and wonder if there will ever be any peace come to me again. I am sure not.
However, last night I saw you on television saying how it is just torture to live and I find that too. Of course we will go on, but it truly is torture. Alan was the light of my life, my best friend and my soul mate.
Like you....I am trying to do all the right things, go to work each day and I saw you walk into your apartment last night along the corridors....just exactly like me....walking into a lonely place, where there was so much light before.
It helped me a bit to see you doing the same as me.
We will never get over losing our wonderful sons....I know that, and no one can tell us we will, because we just know the love we had was soo deep that we will exist until our time on this earth is over.

Take care,

Jenn

Chris - 3rd anniversary memorial mess

Eileen Mohan

December 25, 2010

Chris,
This is my 4th Christmas that you are not home, and the pain is still as raw as it was, since you were stolen from me.

I guess I will never get use to this. I just want this day to pass by, but to think about how wonderfully we used to spend Christmas together. You helping me to bake and cook and to watch you eat with so much appreciation was the highlight of the day. It was always a day we shared with so much joy and love.

Yet it seems like the pages of our lives just click to blank and stillness without any voice, laughter, smell of good food, music and togetherness. The dinning table is totally empty - I have nothing to offer and put on it and no one to eat from those plates.

I dont expect anyone to understand our life today or the turn it has taken. I pray always that no one has the opportunity to experience this emptiness.

I pray that God will send his angels to hold my hands.

Loving you always, Chris. Mum

October 19, 2010

My Babes:
It is 3 years today that you were taken from our lives and from my arms. Life has not been the same for me and will never be. I have tried very hard to put a positive attitude forward and trying very hard to take a step forward. But there is always a but - I at times simply am unable. I am hoping that one day we will be able to have some sort of peace when all this mess is over - if ever.

I am simply just broken into pieces and my life shattered beyond repair but I am going to try very hard to live somehow and make something positive out all this ugliness.

I have received so many loving messages for you and your facebook is just covered with so much love, you are so much missed

You are our life and love, hold my hands and guide me through.

Always loving and missing you with every breath I take.

Mum

Hey Babes - just concluded a successful golf tournament - was so good to see so many people who came to support our cause to raise money for Youth at Risk to present them an opportunity to pursue on with life with hope for a better tomorrow.

Missing you so much, as the third anniversary of you being taken from yourself and me is folding upon us so quickly, yet, it seems just yesterday that I spoke to you - I wish I could reach up to the heavens open up those doors hold you in my arms - longing for that exact moment to be with you again.

Hold my hands, my handsome, and guide me to your light so I can shine in your presence

Loving you every moment - Mum

Dear Babes:
2010 has come and yet it seems like this happened to us like yesterday. Life has certainly changed in so many ways. I know you are looking down from Heaven and hoping to make it all right if you had your way. My heart is so heavy and the tears are never ending, just simply missing you so much, yet I feel I live another day to face this world and try to find answers.

I close my eyes and see your happy loving smile and continue to live with all the love you left with me........
Will carry you everyday in heart and arms till we meet again.

Missing you my Babes: I just wish you were with us today and we had our life we knew prior to October 19th, today, I don't know this new world without you - it sometimes feels a harsh world, empty and without souls and hearts - I feel very much cheated of what has happened to you and to us ... you know what I am wishing ... I am screaming inside but the words are just not coming out - loving you every moment - Mum

Chris, I drive by your house every week. Sometimes i cry, sometimes i just get frusterated..and sometimes i just feel numb. im always at a loss for words..for what has happened.

But i have more than a lifetime of words to just express every memory of us whalley boys. We'll never understand or justify how, or why good people like you and others ... Read Moreconsistantly are stripped away from us..

every song i write, ill write for you..
every song i sing, ill sing for you..
one day ill be a successful recording artist, in hopes to change the negative views of others.. one day.

Chris,
I flipped open my '03 yearbook, and behold, the silliest story was written about how you and I met. Though we've lost touch, I will always, always remember you SMILING those beautiful white pearlies, as I'm sure that is how everyone will remember you. You were a good person with a kind heart, and God should be so lucky to have you join the party upstairs. I know in my heart you're watching over all of us right now, and when I look at the sun shining, I see your smile. May your soul Rest In Peace. P.S. Right by the beach...

I will always remember you.

I miss your happy outlook and your enthusiasm.

After one year, I can still see your beautiful smile so fresh in my mind as it will be forever.

I miss you so much.

The thoughts of our fun times together and driving to grad camping are some of my most cherished memories.

Dearest One
Is it a year already? We all ask ourselves - family, friends, relatives and acquaintenances!!

A child of ours was taken away but who still lives in our hearts, souls and minds.

In 1 year, your mom has accomplished so much but it has taken a great toll on her . . . physically and emotionally - she is still at it - knocking on doors, speaking through media and publicly shouting out -- to save someone else's child. Is anyone listening?? Can policies be changed? What can she do if Policies are NOT changing!

2 days of family prayers, a temple puja, a family mass then a service at St Matthews - Chris you are so very lucky - your mom did not let anything stop her. She used every single venue to make sure that from the day you were lost until today that prayers and blessings were always there for you - I am sure that you are watching and seeing all these 'happenings' from above.

Your Aunties Angelin, Anne, Nani, Dadda and I were there to help your mom through this 1st anniversary ceremonies. You have brought the family together and to value 'what life is all about'.

Though we cannot bring you back, dearest one, you have taught both Dadda and I that life has to be dealt with today and that love will overcome no matter what. Treasure what you have today for tomorrow may never come. A touch, a smile, a hug or just a prayer is what we can give - in your memory to those with us today at this point in our lives. We know that no matter what we do, no matter how much we do - it will never be enough!!! So we carry on . . .

Resting in the arms of Mother Mary . . .

Chris, Your smile, your soul, and your personality was amazing... such a gentleman and so kind. That is what makes it so hard to understand why your taken away from the many people that loved you.

The greatness of a human life can be measured by amount of greatness and purpose that a human soul gives back to the world.....what if your purpose was to.. 'go to heaven in this horrible way'.. to show others that this cant go on...a voice for the innocent...and to raise awareness....a silent fight that cant be ignored....if this is your purpose ...it can only be measured one way.

Chris Mohan you are a great human being and you will never be forgotten.

In life there are going to be some things thats going to make it hard to smile. But what ever you do through all the rain and pain, you got to keep your sense of humor, you got to smile for me now remember that.

God can heal a broken heart but he has to have all the peices.

Chris, I will miss you buddy! You are a great friend, and just an awsome person all around. Its to hard to believe what is going on. why this world has to be this way to lose such a wonderful person like you.

Rest in Peace.........xo

Chris, never really got to know you well apart from the "what's up" at the gym now and then. But I can tell from the get-go you were a straight up great and well respected guy.

I, including all of my friends who did know you, share in the grief of your passing. It's incomprehensible and horrible acts like this that reaffirm my desire to pursue my field of work. It's all senseless and an outrage.

Rest in peace, brother.

I dont even know what to say, im just still in shock that something this tragic could happen to someone like you. You didnt deserve this, you were a great guy, so nice and funny too.

I remember how you were this little tiny boy that was so shy back in grade 8 you and trevor always hung out everywhere and we hung out quite a bit too along with corrine always cracking jokes and then we got to catch up in gr11-12 and sometimes id run into you at the gym... im glad i had a chance to meet a good friend like you.

Its funny seeing you grow from this gr 8 boy to a big man with a big heart of gold!

My prayers goes out to your family. I hope you RIP I will miss you deeply.

I was blessed to be your cousin sister "boy"... I knew you since you were little... we used to make fun of each other, while Patrina kicked the boyz butts back in Fiji. I know I didn't get to know you as a teenager, because I was hoppin' round the globe... but your fun spirit stayed with me from when you were little, for real! You were a "star" from way back then and now you're truly a star... in heaven. My 1st born child, her name is Heaven.... I know that you never met her... but often enough,when her name is called, I know that you're safe up there now. I love you lil' "BOY"

Man I couldn't believe this when i heard. We used to have lots of fun with Mohan, sometimes it was at his expense but he always took it in stride and he knew we were boys and just messin with him. I'm not sure i've ever met a nicer guy though. Even before knowing him he was nice to you as a stranger, thats just the way he was. I'm sorry I hadn't gotten to see you since basically grade 11 or 12 chris and now ur gone but never forgotten. Rip Mohan.

Chris
We speak on behalf of all your friends that are left behind and say u are so lucky buddy, to have a mum like yours, she had a birthday mass for you, and she got all the politicans from the Solicitor General to the Leader of Opposition to attend, this is an achievement in the making, Chris - we never thought this was possible, we have not seen a line up like this, she is truely special, inspiring, n truely God sent, she is fighting, buddy, your mum is fighting to save our future children, our future generation because she could not save you. We wishes everyday if only you had a mircle from God.

She looks so thin and frigile and pale in her white sari but utterly confident, her voice soft with emotion, but has fury to speak out, her love for you is driving her, she has always said, "Chris, is a son every mum would have loved to have", so we say, "she is truly a mum, every child would truly want to have", no wonder you were such a lovable, respectable person, because all the love she gave you. Send her love and strength, Chris - she looks like she feels very lonely without you beside her. We can see the pain in her eyes.

We wish we can bring u back for her only: We ask God...why did you let this horrible act happen to Chris. Seeing his mother's pain....our pain.. we are Chris's friends...we will get by...but for Eileen Mohan...this is a living hell * a hell....she is willing to break through and make laws that will make people accountable.

We love U & miss you...Chris, but we too wish, buddy, U were here with us, and that U could come back us friends. U will never be forgotten... Chris.

All the power to your Mum, Eileen, we wish her every success today, tomorrow and forever:
Chris...buddy....we Love U:

We are writing this on behalf of all the friends who came and who could not make it to Chris's memorial birthday mass cause of work and other commitments.

We would like to say thank you to all the politicans who came and spoke so passionately about Chris and his mother, Eileen. We hope you all will make a difference in changing BC to be a better place. So we do not have to miss a special n dear, loving friend like our Chris, whom we so loving called Mohan and Mo ...

Till we all meet again..Mo...Peace n Love

CHRIS,

Dear Chris
Your mum held a Memorial Birthday Mass for you and invited everyone to join her and invited the politicans also. It was beautiful, very moving and very touching. But it was also very sad to see your mum, she misses you very much, but though emotionally weak, vocally she is very strong - she spoke in a soft emotional voice, yet very determined. I know she will make a difference with all your love with her, she will.

Chris, we miss you too so very much, it was so good to see many of our friends there for you and to support yr mum. I wish I can bring you back if not for us, but for your mum - she misses your terribly. But I miss you too, Chris - this life is not the same without you around, the gym is not the same, since you are not there, there is a little bit of silence amongst friends, every one of us are feeling it, Chris - we just wish this horrible act did not happen to you - today our world would have been beautiful, just as beautiful and wonderful like you buddy.

Can't wait to see you again, Chris. I know God must be giving you all the love that we are missing here - love you and miss you Chris, ever so much, send your mum a big hug and huge bundles of love - she needs it most.

Love you, you are the best, can't wait to see you again. God Bless.

I barely got a chance to know you only having worked together. I speak for everyone when I say you are going to be missed. You always had a smile on your face and never had an unkind word about anyone. You were a new friend but a good person. Cheers

A mentor of mine passed away this morning and on his group was this prayer I borrowed it and leave it here for you:
"Native American Prayer"
I give you this one thought to keep~
I am with you still~ I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the mornings hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
of quit birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone~
I am with you still~ in each new dawn.
RIP Chris Mohan

I barely got to know you but your tragedy has teared us all, I hope your family stays strong for I know they are feeling the worse pain no one else can imagine until it finally hits them hard...

Peace be with you.

It has been hard seeing your family fall apart because you are not here. I have stood there watching their lives fall apart. It has not been easy for anyone, certainly not your family. Seems that everyday that it becomes more of a challange and a struggle. I wish I could bring you back for one last visit, atleast or one last hug. Seven months have passed by without you. It seems like forever without you here in our lives. Alot has changed. I dont understand why you had to go, it was not your time. I dont ever believe you did anything in your life to hurt anyone and yet someone takes your life away from you. I think about you almost every second of the day. I cannot even sleep most of the time. I cannot imagine how it is for your family. It breaks me to see your family struggle so much, to make it through each day. You need to send some strength to your family and you know who especially needs it most. I never realized how cold this world really was until the day your life was ended. I am learning quickly what a cold place this world really is. The only good intensions people have are for themselves. Its like no body cares who gets hurt along the way. It is a shame that innocient people have to go for a lesson to be learned. We live in an evil and manipulative world. A place where greed and power takes over the good qualities left in people.I miss you more than you would ever imagine. Its hard without you. I know we should all try and pull together and fight your battle. Your mom trys to stay strong and keeps the fight in her going. She is doing the best job she can. She cannot do it alone. We need to try and be strong.

To dearest Eileen and Sunil,

I first heard of this senseless act 6 months ago but only yesterday happened to see the Vancouver Sun front page and was utterly shocked and dismayed to learn who Chris Mohan's parents are. You are both so kind and loving and from reading all of these postings, I can see Chris was such an amazing boy and well-loved by all. May you both take comfort in knowing that we are grieving with you and our thoughts and prayers are with you. As a mom of 3, I cannot even begin to imagine what you must be going through. This was the reason for my call today Eileen. We are sending our love and prayers to you and when you are ready, we will talk.
