"People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime." Although you were not granted a lifetime, there was a reason for your son's life. Our friend Maria lovingly talked many times (MANY TIMES) about her nephew. Her love for him showed in every conversation.
Our Jaycee Creed states "Faith in God gives meaning and purpose to human life". I hope you know there was meaning and purpose in Chris's life - even to those of us who never had the privilege of knowing him personally.

Joanne and family,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sure Christopher has no trouble being one of God's Angels. He was one here on earth for 25 years. I can still see him clearly in my mind in elementary school. Keep his memory alive in your heart. Remember, death does not separate you because love belongs to the spirit and not to the body.

Joanne, David and family,
So sorry to hear of your great loss. I am so glad that we sat where I could see his sweet, smiling face at Aynor Methodist Church on Sunday mornings. I always loved to see your little family and the love that just radiated between you and him. We never know how long we will have our loved ones, but I thank God He gave Chris to you for the time he had on this earth. Surely he could not have been any more loved, cherished and cared for than by you. Our lives are touched with sadness, but Heaven is surely brighter with Chris's sweet face among those blessed ones. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

To the Joyner and Meridith Families,
My prayers are with you during this
time. Chris was such a sweet and loving young man. He will always have a place in my heart. That beautiful smile and those big curls,
what a charmer. Take comfort in knowing that Chris is with the Lord, and we will see him again one day.
God Bless You,

You are in our prayers. We never expect to have our child die before us. Having lost Joey at age 23, it was the most difficult time for us. We think of him daily and know that you do too. We have been able to move on because of the beautiful memories we have. So it will be with you. When we think of Chris we immediately think of his beautiful smile. May God continue to hold you in His arms.

To all the family of Christopher, we thank you for allowing Conway Adult Day Care the privilege of getting to know Christopher. Our facility was very saddened to learn of his passing. We miss his smiling face and the way that he always greeted us each day. We hope that you can find comfort in knowing how much he was loved at CADC, and now he will be one of those stars looking down at each of you at night. He is now at peace with God. Christopher rest in peace!
