Chris Clark my first "adult" relationship that started February 1991. On August 31, 1991, (my 21st birthday)I moved out of my mom´s for Chris and I to move in together, it was our and my first apartment.

Our relationship ended years later but our love for each other did not, we stayed good friends and family. My mom still considered him as a son! My sister still considered him as an older crazy brother! We all had a connection that was never broken.

As I walked in the door after work just after midnight, my phone is ringing and it´s my mom, who tells me Chris died! I knew he had been very sick but I never let my mind go there! I thought he would pull through, he is a fighter. He lived for his grandchildren.

He loved his family so much that I believed this fact alone would keep him going. But his body was too weak. He will be coming home for his final resting place be next to Grandma Ann.

Our family will feel this loss a piece is now missing. You will never be forgotten, I miss you already!
Rest in Peace my friend May Flights of Angels Sing Thee to Thy Rest

I love you Chris. I can´t fathom that you´re gone. You were such a major part of my childhood and I have such cool memories of you that will keep me smiling and giggling. I´m not sure what the occasion was, but Jenn had gotten me a basket of facial products (I must have been close to teenage years), and you got up from the couch and I asked where you were going and you´re clever response was, "To do my face." My Mom reminded me of your love for my pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving. Rather than write a novel, I´ll end with this - - I love you Chris and I miss you.
Chris: "Hey Ty, guess what?"
Me: "What?"
Chris: "You was fresh!"
Me: Now irritated that I fell for it!
Me: "Guess what...."
Chris: "What?"
Me: "You was tied behind the neck!"
I have no idea what started these, but I´m happy to have the memories.
