What does it look like in Heaven?
Is it peaceful, is it free like they say
Does the sun shine bright forever?
Have your fears and pain gone away
Cause here on earth it feels like everything...
Good is missing, since you left
And here on earth everything is different,
There is an emptiness
Oh-oh-oh I…
I hope you're dancing in the sky
And I hope you're singing with the angels choir
I hope the angels know what they have
I bet it's so nice in Heaven since you arrived.
Now, tell me what do you do up in Heaven
Are your days filled with love and light
Is there music? Is there art and invention?
Tell me, are you happy, are you more alive.
Cause here on earth it feels like everything...
Good is missing, since you left.
And here on earth everything is different
There is an emptiness.
Oh-oh-oh I …
I hope you're dancing in the sky,
And I hope you're singing with the angels choir
And I hope the angels know what they have,
I bet it's so nice in Heaven since you arrived.
RIP Chaz
i never knew you but hearing your cousin speak about you made me wish that i had met you. i wrote this in remberence of his memory from the feelings i gathered from Johns words. you mean alot to him. may you rest in peace and continue to look over your family.

To My Chazzer,
Life is a day at a time. I keep waiting for you to call, come through the door, or our Sunday dinners. I know that Nana is noticing that someone in missing when we go to see her with Mason for a visit. I miss you every single day and still have the hole in my heart. It is hard without you in our lives, but we know some day we will be re-united. God has carried me through a lot of the time, but he also gives me the strenth to walk alone strong sometimes. I wil be strong for you. Time will ease the pain, but the hurt will always be there that I can no longer hear your voice, hug you, and have you there at our family gatherings. So we will take you everywhere we go in our hearts. One thing that will never change is that our memories will be forever. I miss you Memote. Always in My Heart Chazzer, Grandma Shirley.

Chaz,
I still can't believe this is real. You were an amazing person, that touched many lives of the people around you. I hadn't seen you in awhile, but was glad to hear that you got that chance at a new life. I'm celebrating almost 3 and a half years clean now, so I know the struggles you went through. You did not deserve to go out like this, but I'm glad you are in a better place now, where the struggles of the world can't touch you anymore. My love and prayers are with your family during thier time of grieving and healing. Until we meet again, my friend, "step by step and one day at a time"

To My Only Son:
I only have a picture now, a frozen piece of time, to remind me how it was when you were here & mine. I see your smiling eyes, each morning when I awake. I talk to you each morning & place a kiss upon the picture of your lovely face.
How much I miss you being here, I can not say the ache is deep inside my heart & never goes away. I hear it mentioned often, that time will heal the pain, but if I'm being honest, I hope it will remain.
I need to feel you constantly, to get me through the day. I Love You So Very Much Son- Why did they have to take you away? I know the Angel's came & took you, that really wasn't fair-
For they took my one & only son, My Future,Life, My Hier. If they had asked me if I would take your place... I would willingly leave you in the "Lord's World of Grace".
You had so many years ahead of you, a life of yours to unfold, and in the mist of all of this... You will only watch me grow old. I worry everyday if your alright along with your Sister too, for she is my only reasoning of each morning that I awake.
As I read so often the letters we have written, I realized it had answered my weary question... I know now how much you knew, I Loved You so! As all parents must wounder the same question too. For this is not good-bye Son, Just my memories to embrace until....
" I meet you at the crosroads in the sky" Where you will take my hand & walk with me through the Lords Gracious Gates....
Just the Two of Us

Chaz
I’m back home to face what I lost, would do anything to have you back no matter the cost. Got off track and starting living my life ruff, couldn’t find anything out there that could numb me enough.
Your sister has been the strongest in this time of pain. Strength, courage and respect are what she gained.
You would be so proud of her without any doubt.Missing your laugh when mom yells at Logan “to get the heck out”.
A big smile never left your face, no one ever will be able to take your place.
Always there with a joke to tell, I now go in your room for a breath of how you use to smell.
I miss the dirt bike trips we use to make. Ridding every Wednesday neither would flake
A chunk of my heart is forever gone, weeping from loosing you from dusk till dawn.
It's time for me to pick up and move forward and heel, knowing now only those who lost a child truly know how I feel.
I’m reaching out asking for help from Family & Friends as for my road to recovery may never end.
I love you Chaz each & every day knowing now, that God called you up and had his say. I’ll se you in Heaven my only son, when I get there have the bikes ready
… So we can have fun
Love Dad

Chaz my Dear Nephew, It has been over 6 months since you left us, and it still hurts so much.. I wish i could hear your voice again, or just get one of those big tight hugs you would give me. I read comments that people leave for you, and it breaks my heart, cause I know exactly what they are feeling. I could really use a genuine SMILE about now... I still cry even though I know you wouldnt want that but it helps me Chaz, it helps me get through the day. I think of you everyday, and I know 1 day I will see you again, and I look forward to you waiting at those pearl white gates ready to embrace me. I love and miss you so very much Nephew.. Thank You so much for all those wonderful memories you made with our FAMILY...never 4gotten NEVER...Auntie Tina..

Our Beloved son ‘’ Chaz William Michael Bettencourt’’ will always be remembered in our hearts forever. From the moment he was born, we knew he was special & so blessed to have him in our lives. We are proud of his accomplishments that he had concord through out his life. He was & still is one of the most remarkable unique individual young man we will always remember for his love & kind hearted soul who would put others before himself and ask of nothing in return. For those who knew him, you are truly blessed. For those whom did not get that opportunity would be unfair to say you missed out, as the letters written not only in this guest book but people who knew, him that shared there stories or readings of him from far & near did get a touch of insight of his precious loving soul & spirit. The ‘’I Love You’’’ were abundant in the Bettencourt home which was very important to us as a family. We also want to take a brief moment to thank all of you whom supported us by letters, donations & emails; we are very touched by the community. A special Thank you to the Stanislaus County Sheriffs Department for your on going hard work to serve justice to our Beloved Son Chaz W. Bettencourt. For this is not good-bye Son. It’s see you soon for Dad & I cannot’ wait to see your loving smile & your warm embraced hugs. Where you have now called home with Our Lord.
‘’Sleep with the Angels Son’’
We Love you very much Son, see you at the Gates of Heaven

In reading through all of the guest book entries, it is obvious that everyone already knew that Chaz was special, wonderful, and loved by all. He touched many lives and will always be remembered and missed. It was truly a privilege to have had Chaz as our nephew and Godson. Mason and Eden miss their sweet cousin so much! We will miss him everyday, but are comforted that one day we will see his bright smiling face again in Heaven!!

Dearest Michelle, Kreig, Katie, family and friends,
I am so deeply saddened to hear of the loss of your most "precious" gift from God, your Son...Chaz, by such a senseless act of violence..Our hearts are so heavy with sadness... There are absolutely no words to express our deepest sympathy...Chaz was so loved by all of his family/friends and he will forever be remembered and missed..May God wrap his loving arms around you and give you and your family the strength you need to get through this most difficult of all times. Chaz has claimed his "Mansion" with the Almighty Lord and you will all be reunited "One Fine Day." Again, please accept our deepest sympathy...Love you so, so much...Kathi Nelson & family

Chaz Bettencourt, the Love of My Life was the most wonderful amazing person I've ever met. He always loved to charm me by making my laugh or by putting a smile on my face, as he new he was good at. My baby did not deserve to die, NO he did not. He was full of life with happiness & had everything he wanted as I completed him & he completed me. He will always be my everything. I am & will always be forever great full to have met him. I know he will always continue to watch over me for the rest of my life & for that I am so honored & blessed to receive such a gift or one should say a precious Angel watching over me. Love is so hard to come by in life these days as we all know. Thank you God, for have given me the opportunity to experience & embrace "True Love" as I have never felt so safe and untouchable in my entire life other then with the love of my life Chaz William Bettencourt. I always admire how you had great pride in the goals that you had set for yourself along with your imperfections for we all know we are not perfect. To the small things that you did even if it were to get me tissue to wipe my runny nose or look into my eyes out of the blue and say "I Love You". Simple was perfect in our eyes & our life … Just Simple. I will forever Chaz miss your touch, kiss & warm comfort that made me feel so safe night & day. Always know baby, that I will forever wear my engagement ring with the up most pride, for you are & will always be the True Love of My Life. Until then My Love…
Your Fiancée,
