Christopher Ciafardini

Cannot believe it's been 23 years without you. One of the best and most dearest friends I've ever had the honor of knowing. God only knows what heights you would have scaled by now. You singular focus and determination would have served you well and I have no doubt you would have achieved great things. Always in my thoughts and prayers dear friend. Keep a lookout for your friends and family. RIP Ciaf

Never far from my thoughts and the thoughts of all the guys from OB. When we get together, (as we try to do more often) it doesn´t take long for your name to come into the conversation and it always leaves the room with great memories, warm feelings and boisterous laughter. Thinking of the person you were and would have become had you had the opportunity. I have no doubt, you´d approach marriage/family life in the same determined, singular focused way you tackled everything that came into your mind. Your were the most unique, most sincere and best friend I´ve ever had and I´ll always relish the numerous conversations we shared regarding life, the future, goals, concerns and fears. Most of all, I´ve never laughed as hard as when I was in your presence and I know I never will again as your comedic ability was truly unique and only understood and fully appreciated by those who knew you. Till we meet again dear friend, I´ll always keep you memory alive and thanks for always putting a smile on my face and making an otherwise ordinary day a little brighter when I think of you.

Never far from my thoughts dear friend! Miss you always. Newt

Remembering Christopher on the 20th anniversary of 9/11...

On this Thanksgiving Day, I pause to think of families like this who lost a loved one so long ago, but never forgotten. I pray for a special blessing to you today and you remember your loved one. Much love from Texas,

So sorry for your lost it is difficult to lose a love one. There is satisfying answers to life's questions Proverbs 2:1:5

My heart goes out to the family i dont kno chris but i kno we r related down the line

Christopher Ciafardini,

Dear Edward and Family
Life is always too short. It takes a tragedy like 9 11 to show each of us that this is true. Cristopher's life filled yours and those he touched with joy and happiness. After reading the previous comments from others, I sensed that your son was someone that made you proud and rightfully so. His passing is sorrowful but he an over three thousand others left us stronger and more thankful for each day. While I never met Christopher we share the same last name and I share your sorrow especially on this tenth year of his passing. I will keep him in my prayers. May God bless you all.

On the eve of the 10th anniversary, I am still at a loss for words. I think of you every day, my friend, wishing you were still here. I am grateful for the memories that I carry with me, I can hear your voice saying my name. I know that you are the sunshine on my shoulders. I miss you.

To the Ciafardini family: I had the honor of reading Christopher's name this year, please know that in reading about him I know that he was a great person, and would have been someone that I would have liked to call friend.. I see that he is greatly missed as I miss my beautiful daughter. I hope that as time goes by it would get easier for all of us. Know that you are in my prayers.

We will never forget!
Nunca olvidaramos!

Happy Birthday!!!

Its been 7 years since Ciaf was taken from us. He was a kind sole and a true gentleman. His personality was infectious and you couldnt help but be in a good mood everytime he was around. I worked with him almost 10 years ago, sat next to him at work, and ate lunch together everyday for over 2 years. He made me laugh every day. Few people have made an impact in my life, but Ciaf was one of them. Still thinking of you buddy.

not a day goes by that the tragedy of 9/11 is not thought about we have a moment of silence in school on that day and that is to honor everyone that was taken away tragically even though i didnt know you i cant help but wonder if we were family the last name isnt that common may god be with your family cause i know your not forgotten but will always be loved im 10 now i and i still remember that day i wanted to go home i was scared but now i know that god only takes the best may your family be free from pain and sorrow and filled with happiness and memories

Chris Ciafardini (in the town we grew up in, we knew him simply as "Ciaf" and he nicknamed me "newt") was one of the best human beings I have ever known. He was a true, best friend and even more importantly, a great human being. It was a honor to have had him in my life and not a day goes by that I do not think of him and all of the great times we shared. I'll never forget the last time I saw him (at my bachelor party/wedding). I'll always cherish that memory.
When my children are old enough to understand, I will certainly tell them many wonderful stories about a great human being; I will not forget. "Ciaf."

As I cross-stitched your name on the memorial that I am doing for all of the victims, I prayed for you and your family. Please know that your death was not in vain. We will always remember. God Bless.

In memory....

Dear Ed,



Although I never had the pleasure of meeting your son Christopher, your love and devotion to him speaks volumes about his true worth as a man.



With Affection,

Michael

I cant believe it has been three years since you were taken from us. I think about you every day buddy and how much you always made me laugh. I miss your humor and friendship and the friendly competition we always had in everything we did. I know we will see each other again some day and until then keep an eye out for us and put in a few good words with the Man upstairs. May God bless you and your family and may God bless America.

Dear Ed, I saw you this morning, 9/11/04 reading the name of your son Christopher. Please accept my deepest sympathy and may God bless you, your family and Christopher. Sincerely, Theresa Entin

I am so saddened to learn of Christopher's death. I knew Chris very well during our college days in Boulder. I cannot express the grief I feel to hear that the life he spent following his passion was cut so short. My deepest sympathies are with his family.

Though I did not have the privilege of meeting Christopher, I am saddened by the loss of his life. May he continue to be remembered, blessed and have eternal life with our Lord and Savior. My prayers are with Christopher and his family.

Hello. I am in 7th grade. On sept. 11, 2002 ((one year later) our school asked us tyo make paper rings with the name of a sept. 11 victim name on the ring and your thoughts on that person. well, i was given the ring and the name on it was christopher ciafardini. with all the rings the whole school made, we as student council put them up in the shape of an american flag. and hope to keep it there forever.

even though i did not know Christopher Ciafardini..he will be missed and loved.....i am signing this guestbook in regards of the same last name that someone from this family will be in touch w/ me again Christopher u will b truly missed by all even us ciafardini's in va and all around the world... my grandfateher was john patrick ciafardini....

Although I did not know Christopher, he has touched my life. My thoughts are with his family.

Rest in his loving peace. May God Bless you and the family and friends that you left behind on that horrible day in September.

My family and I are still saddened by the death of Chris. We wish him eternal peace and happiness with God our Father. God Bless you Chris. We all miss you and love you so very much!!!

I was blessed to know Chris quite well and he was truly a kind and gentle person. It is very sad that he had to be taken from this earth so young and in one the most violent and horrific ways. I have read that when you loose someone you love you gain an angel. He is that angel now. God Bless Christopher Ciafardini and may his soul live on in all of us who loved him so very much.

We are deeply sorry for your loss of Christopher. May his life and love live on in those who love him. May the sorrow in your hearts be lightened by warm memories of times shared with Christopher. Our hearts cry with you.

America Cries

We see your sorrow-

and our hearts cry....

We can not erase your pain

but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-

-the American people-

are beside you.

We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,

the strength that gives you courage,

and the words to lighten your spirits.

And when we are left speechless

may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts

to ease your sorrow.

May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-

-the American people-

face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn

What an amazing, accomplished young man! People like Christopher remind us that life must be measured not by length, but depth. Please know our prayers and love are with you.

My family is sad to learn of Christopher's loss. I met Christopher only a few times while I lived with his brother Dominic in Binghamton. Dominic always spoke very highly and proudly of his brother. We are truly sorry and hope that his family and friends find strength in this most difficult time.
