My precious Chris~
Today (May 19)would have been our 2nd wedding anniversary. I love you and miss you. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you...and wonder where we would be in our lives together.
Throughout our lives we are sent precious souls...meant to share our journey, however brief or lasting their stay they remind us why we are here. To learn...to teach...to nurture...to love. Some people come into our lives to cast a steady light...their shining belief in us helps us to believe in ourselves. They celebrate the true essence of who we are...and have faith in all that we may become. Some people come into our lives and they move our souls to sing and make our spirits dance...Chris you are that person to me. At this time I'm remembering our wonderful honeymoon we had in Jamaica. Thanks for giving me the best time in my life. You definetely made an impact on me and everyone else who shared your life. I miss your special love, your hugs and dancing with you. Happy Anniversary, honey.
Love your wife,
Katie Whittaker-Mort

My Dearest Chris,
The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more and plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds.....and that's what you've given to me. Everytime I think of our special love, I'm grateful for you and the time we shared together. You are the one who made me feel truly loved. Today is my birthday and I'm going to celebrate life and dance. I will always remember how special you made my birthdays. I'm not bitter because what we had was real. When we see each other again I'll smile at you with joy. I love you!!

JULY 22, 2007
Dear Chris,
Today one year ago on July 22, 2007 you went home to be with your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. There has not been a day that has gone by that I haven't thought of you. I miss having you as my husband, best friend and dance partner. You made life fun and full of surprises. I have so many good memories of our 6 years together. We will one day be re-united again. We will laugh, hug, dance and love together again. God's ways are higher than ours and I have to believe He is still in control. Looking back on the memory of the dances we onced shared, I know holding you-I held everything. I never have to doubt the way you felt about me. In every way you showed me everyday how great your love was for me. I appreciate that about you. I now must face the world without you...your laugh, your foot rubs and cuddling. The love you gave me will be enough to last until we meet again. Memories surround me but sadness has found me. I can't get you out of my mind. There is so much I don't understand, but I know you're walking in new life-dancing with the angels. We're only here for a short time-passing through. So I'm going to stand up and live. One day I'll see you again and we will be dancing with the angels together forever.
Sunny days seem to hurt the most. I know you don't like for me to cry-I'm still loving you. Since your gone-my world is not the same. I go back to the places we've been and live those moments again-wishing you were here.
"I hold you in my heart for we have shared together God's blessings"
Phil 1:7
"I have great joy and encouragement because of your love"
Philemon 7
We did not know the time or day the Lord would call your name. In life we loved you dearly In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you But you did not go alone For part of us went with you The day God called you home. You left us many beautiful memories. Your love is still our guide. And though we cannot see you We know you are by our side. Our family chain has been broken without you nothing is the same But as God calls us one by one We'll be linked together again.
I went kayaking today (July 22) on the platte river....in the rain. I had to be on the river, where we enjoyed so many great times together! I missed having you-my "cabana boy"!
I love you forever!
Your loving wife

THE ANNUAL CANOE WEEKEND IS FAST APPROACHING. WE ARE GETTING EXCITED TO SHARE THE WEEKEND WITH OUR FRIENDS, BUT FEEL EMPTINESS IN OUR HEARTS AS WE GATHER UP CAMPING GEAR, FOOD, AND OF COURSE THE MAKINGS FOR JELLO SHOTS. NO ONE WAS EVER MORE PREPARED FOR THE "CANOE THING" WEEKEND THEN CHRIS MORT. HE WAS ALWAYS THE FIRST ONE TO ARRIVE. WHEN THE REST OF US WOULD PILE IN, WE WERE ALWAYS GREETED BY CHRIS WITH A HUGE SMILE ON HIS FACE AND WITH OPEN ARMS FOR HUGS. HE WAS THE RIVER PRO. HE ALWAYS HAD THE BEST SNACKS, THE BEST WATER GUNS, AND THE BEST JELLO SHOTS. EVERY TIME YOU CAME UP ONTO HIS CANOE, HE WOULD OFFER ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING FROM HIS COOLER. WE MISS YOU CHRIS. THIS WEEKEND WILL BE ESPECIALLY HARD FOR ALL, BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT BE THERE WHEN WE ARRIVE. NO GREAT BIG SMILE AND NO OPEN ARMS. YOU WILL BE IN OUR MINDS AND HEARTS AS ALWAYS. WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU. MANY STORIES WILL BE SHARED THIS WEEKEND IN REMEMBERANCE OF A WONDERFUL MAN WHO IS DEARLY MISSED.
OUR LOVE AND PRAYERS ARE ALSO WITH YOU KATY. WE LOVE YOU!
TIM, MAGGY, KRISTIN, MONICA, CHARLIE, PAM, AND ANDREW

Hey Chris.
I just got to spend another fantastic week with your beautiful wife. I also got to spend it with you. For all of you out there, this is Debbie Miller-Phillips, a long lost cousin of the Whittakers. I was blessed to find them just a few years ago, I bonded with Katie and only met that wonderful, handsome, as someone said, "million dollar smile " I'll say personable, frugal man after my own heart Chris twice, because I live in Florida. Katie, Earl, and I had a marvelous time mostly laughing but shedding a few tears while sharing memories of you. On your birthday we went to a Mexican restaurant because that's where we went the night we met. I felt like I knew you as I feel like I know Katie all my life. We are all taking good care of her, Chris. I know you know that. We love and cherish her as you do. We miss you and will party some day with you.
Love,
Debbie

Yesterday, Tuesday, June 17, would have been another birthday.

Twitterfur, . . . just would like to mention again that last Thursday the person was sentenced for so abruptly taking both you and the young girl in the other vehicle so tragically away from us all. We all believe you are where ‘All things are revealed’ now. Twitterfur, as Chris was known by his siblings, would be 44 years old now. His oldest siblings remember taking care of him when he was an infant since we were several years older.

In 2004, Chris, Bev, Darren, and myself were all busy getting ready for his 40th birthday celebration. Yes, Chris actually was the one who came up with the idea – let us all have a get together – he always was very good at organizing family and friend events. The attached picture is from that June 19 day.

June 17, 2008

Always remember, it is better to have loved, than never have loved at all.

Katie Whittaker-Mort

June 17, 2008

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS!!
Today you would have been 44 years old. I wish that you were here with me to celebrate your birthday. I have great memories of celebrating birthdays together. We would always plan something fun to do-go out to dinner and dancing. Our friend Kathy Klink shares a birthday with you and I will continue to celebrate her birthday. Thanks for introducing me to Kathy-a sweet and beautiful friend. My plan was to grow old with you and celebrate everyday of life together. However, God had a different plan for us. I'm grateful God gave us a strong bond of love. I love you forever!
Your loving wife, Katie

Dear my newly brother in law Chris,
I dearly miss you so much. I was very prod of you willing to learn sign language to communicate easy with deaf family. you are special. I will never forget you. I surely miss our good times memories on canoe trip.

Remember what the good Lord says,

TRUST......

Jeff Mort

June 13, 2008

Twitterfur is gone from us but we surely know that he is where all things are revealed. Yesterday, June 12, 2008 was the sentencing for the person responsible for taking the lives of both a young teenage girl and our brother instantly in the crash.

Twitterfur, as Chris's siblings use to call him, would next week have been celebrating his 44th birthday. Online soon in this guest book will be one of the many pictures that were taken at the big 40th birthday party that Bev, Darren, he & I put on that was out at Bev & Darren's home. Yes, you read that right - Twitterfur was the kind of guy that would plan his own 40th birthday party just to get everyone together for a family and friends celebration.

Love you dear Bro.

Katie Whittaker-Mort

June 12, 2008

My dear Chris,
My love, I can't believe your gone. We weren't together for very long. We had a treasure-together you and I. It's still too hard for me to say good-bye. I remember your words,,,,,"I love you more" I'll never forget how you believed in me. Where do I go from here? I pray for peace and contentment once again. You are always on my mind and forever in my heart,
Love you,

Dear Katie,
You are in my thoughts and prayers always. I was not lucky enough to be at your wedding although I know that yours and Chris's love endured 5 years of finding the perfect balance. I remember when you were taking dancing lessons and how excited you were to go dancing together. Then for me to see you two together was quite a joy. I'm sure that God has his wonderful plan for you moving forward. We can only be grateful that you were lucky enough to experience true and unconditional love and for this I am grateful because so few are able to share in this experience. I am thinking of you and hope you find comfort with your memories, cherish them and they will carry you through. God Bless my dear friend. Love, Ellicia

Dear Chris and Katie,
A year ago today, we sat in awe while watching you two cut a rug on the dance floor during your wedding reception. I remember thinking to myself, "WOW! I didn't know they could dance so well!!" But mostly, I remember seeing two people, put on this earth to find eachother, an awesome love that, in today's world, is hard to find. As I sit here and fondly look at your beautiful smiles on your wedding day, I thank God that we have the honor of knowing you, Chris and Katie, and that we were there on the best day of your life, to witness such a love. Katie, you are, and always will be in our thoughts and prayers. We love you very much. Chris, I think in Heaven there must be some beautiful rivers to canoe on. Someday, we will all take that awesome canoe trip again! We love you!!

Chris, our friend in Christ.
On this anniversary of your Wedding Day, we remember you fondly. We had never seen you happier than the day you married Katie. (Big surprize) LOL. We recall how when we had to leave the reception before the meal was served, you went out of your way to make certain we each left with a plate of food...how very "you" that was. :) We miss you very much Chris, but revel in the knowledge of our reunion someday. You and Katie were a true blessing to each other, Praise the Lord!

Chris (and Katie)....it was such an honor to be a part of your special day one year ago, it was an honor to be your friends and your sister. We miss you so much Chris! I will never forget the weekend you and Katie came down to visit us after your wedding or how touched you were at the church service we all went to. I'm sorry we never got to go to that Red Wings or Tigers game together. I'm so happy to know that we get to spend eternity with you though!

Attached is my all time favorite picture of you two. I will always remember you Chris this way...outdoors, having fun and loving Katie.

Chris-my loving husband,
Today is our first wedding anniversary (5/19/2007). Thank you for being my husband and best friend. The day I married you was the happiest day of my life and I have very special memories of our wedding day and honeymoon. You did such a wonderful job of helpng with the wedding and planning our honeymoon. Dancing with you at our wedding was the most amazing memory I have of our special day. I'm so grateful to God for the time that He gave us together as a married couple. My dream came true when I married you, Chris. Thanks for believing in me, even when I didn't believe in myself. Thank you for your love. Please continue to watch over me and guide me as I continue on my journey. I think about you and miss you everyday. I love you more!!

Chris, you missed out that we went out hiking few times at Twin Falls river here in Austin. Katie and I were talking about you and what you would do out there. We knew you will walk through the rocks in the river to explore. We wish you were here with us. Its so nice relax today that we were thinking of you and miss you a lot. Miss you brother in law.

Chris,
I never got the chance to say good-bye to you. I never got the chance to say I'm sorry for anything I might have said or done to make you mad. I'm sorry if I was such a control freak. I didn't get the chance to dance with you at your wedding. Can I have the first dance when I see you in heaven? We won’t be able go snowmobiling, anymore. Thank you for the song by Norman Greenbaum, ‘Spirit in the Sky’. I listen to it when I’m feeling blue over your death. Why did it have to be you? I love you, Chris and I will always, always miss you. Your sister, Bev. P.S. I will keep up with the duct tape and sticky-note use for you.

For the families of Chris,
I was saddened today to learn of our loss of Chris. As I read the guest book, I could see other people came to know the great person Chris was.

He was friendly, positive, and supportive of his fellow students. Chris majored in the discipline I taught so we got to know each other well.

Chris demonstrated his integrity and committment. It was an honor to be his teacher and friend.

I am sorry for the profound loss you are feeling. The spirit which filled Chris lives on with all of us that had the pleasure of sharing our journey through life with him.

August 6, 2007

Katie & the Mort Family,

Our deepest condolences to all of you. Chris leaves a long legacy of zest for life, loyalty and love for God, family, and friends, and a likeability that was recognizable to anyone. It may be of little comfort to you now but know that time will turn the pain of Chris's passing into the fond memories of who he is, how he lived his life, and how valuable the time was that we had with him here.

Chris loved you so much Katie and the happiness you two had couldn't be contained - everyone could see it in your faces. We are so glad you two found each other & that you made each other so happy.

Katie we will always be here for you. Got a lot of stories and great memories of Chris to pass on to you.

In 1980, on a cold March night I told Chris, John, & Dave "that they were like brothers to me". That still rings true for me today - probably more so since I fully understand what it means now.

I'll miss you brother - you left the bar high for me to follow.

Dear Katie, The Mort, and Whittaker families,
We pray daily for the peace that passes all understanding to surround you as God wraps his arms around you. We love you and feel blessed to have met Chris, a wonderful Christian, son, husband, friend. Full of fun and life. He made us laugh and left us with wonderful memories. We will cherish them, until we meet again.
Meanwhile, Katie, we will see you soon in sunny Florida, but until then our love, prayers, thoughts, letters, and calls, will keep coming to comfort you. Because you are truly an inspiration to us. You shine with the love of Jesus. God Bless all of you.

Dear Whittaker and Mort families,
The loss of your dear Chris is hard to comprehend in human terms. We can only try to imagine the heartache and pain you must bear, but we hope that the support and love and prayers of all your family and friends will help ease the burden. And knowing that the Lord will never desert you will become apparent as time passes.

We send our deepest sympathy and will hold you up in prayer for many days and weeks ahead.

And as cherry harvest winds down for many of us, we will always remember hearing that Chris took special interest in this endeavor with the Whittaker family, and made cherry pies! We're thinking that the Lord had a special hankering for one and knew just who he could call upon.

May Chris rest in the peace of His loving arms, and may Katie and all find peace and joy in his memory.

Sending love and prayers,

Look to Jesus and you will get through this scary, sad time. He will help you accept the new 'normal' of your life. Give yourself the time you need to grieve, and remember, and one day when you wake up, you can do so with hope and peace for your future.

The same God who welcomed Chris into Heaven, holds you in His hands. Rest there and let Him minister healing to your broken heart. My prayers are with you!

Dear Katie, Grandma & All,
We are devastated by this loss. Chris was so full of life and dedicated to his family and friends. He was always so thoughtful to send Christmas gifts and cards, not expecting anything in return. He was fun to be around and had experienced so much in his life, he always had a story to tell. The funniest memory that stands out to Andy is when he and I went to Michigan in the summer of 2000. We came out to Grandma's cottage and everyone was there. It was the first time we met Katie and the first time Andy met Chris and the Mort clan. Chris was in charge of the grill and much like his older brother Greg (my dad), he cooked up perfectly charred chicken. Andy became convinced after that experience that it was a Mort culinary trait. We will miss that. Just know you are all in our prayers including Max who has been praying for his great aunts and uncles and great grandma every night. We love you all and wish we could be there.

Katie,

I knew Chris fairly well. We worked closely together for the time that he was here at Hydra Rig (Albin's at the time I believe) and I also took an AutoCad class under him at the VoTech here in Duncan. We were friends and I hated to see him leave here.

But, of course, I was deeply saddened to hear of his accident and passing.

May God bless and comfort both you and your family.
