I´m so sorry for what has happened to you Chris I miss you dearly so much, but some of my best memories with you was when I was younger you showed me how to play pool I wasn´t very good so you would always beat me so I would always play against you until I won ( I never did.) you were such a blessing in my life and everyone else´s always holding everyone together like glue and I would always have fun when I was around you like listening to beats and trying to rap because he was always a lot better than me at that too as well as playing destiny the video game all night long after we got out of school for the weekends. I wish I was there for you and your family you honestly made me cherish my life more because you did everything in your life to change yours for the better and your my hero I love you Chris I know you´re in a better place with your brother now I know we will see each other again. Save a spot for me in heaven in the mean time miss you buddy your memories will always live on in my heart.

My baby, my son, my everything. The love of my life. You are the best thing I ever did. Im so incredibly blessed to be your mom. You brought so much joy into my life and the lives of everyone around you. I cherish every moment I had with you. So proud of the man you became. Always thinking of others. So very thoughtful and sweet and kind. I will miss you every day for the rest of my life until we meet again my sweet boy. I love you more than words could ever say. The world was such a better place with you in it. But God had bigger and better plans for you my love. Rest easy baby. You made me so special when I became your mom.

When I met Christopher for the first time, he was super quiet and shy and I could tell that he was really uncomfortable receiving my hug. Two years later, he was calling both my girls for their birthdays, sharing his soda with me, and spoke to me and hugged me every time he saw me and again every time I was leaving to drive home from our visit. He had grown and matured so much over the last couple of years!
