Christy I was watching the news tonight and saw an interview with you regarding your son's death. . .I had no idea and I am just so very sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine how difficult it must be to have lost your son. (I don't know if you remember me, but I worked with you at Allcare Dental on Rt 51) ---Tania Reddick-Crisanti

September 15, 2011
You were so full of life,
Always smiling and carefree,
Life loved you being a part of it,
And I loved you being a part of me.
You could make anyone laugh,
If they were having a bad day,
No matter how sad I was,
You could take the hurt away.
Nothing could every stop you,
Or even make you fall,
You were ready to take on the world,
Ready to do it all.But God decided he needed you,
So from this world you left,
But you took a piece of all of us,
Our hearts are what you kept.
Your seat is now empty,
And it’s hard not to see your face,
But please always know this,
No one will ever take your place.
You left without a warning,
Not even saying good-bye,
And I can’t seem to stop,
Asking the question why?
Nothing will ever be the same,
The halls are empty without your laughter,
But I know you’re in Heaven,
Watching over us and looking after.
I didn’t see this coming,It hit me by surprise,
And when you left this world,
A small part of me died.
Your smile could brighten anyone’s day,
No matter what they were going through,
And I know everyday for the rest of my life,
I’ll be missing you.
And my prays go out to the family and close friends of this young soilder!

Linda, Christy, and family,
There are not many words that are comforting at this time, but I remember something someone said to me when Jeff died that really touched me - "I wish I could take away a little bit of your pain." Unfortunately we have to face the pain in order to get through it. I do know what it is like to have lost a son tragically, and am here for you when you are ready.
