Chris,
You are not only my brother, but my friend. It is hard to believe that you are gone, as I still hear your voice everyday. Memories, memories, memories, where to start and where to finish. The memory I will treasure the most, and always keep, is a photo in my mind of the times that you were with Chris and Melissa. Not just one, but all of them. I look forward to Christmas Eve this year, as I know you will be seated at the dinner table right next to me. I guess at this point you know how much I miss you BROTHER Chris. Say hello to Dad.
Love, David

Chris,
No one knows when our time comes. We all have our thoughts and things to remember. Ice fishing with potatoes for bait, fishing with Uncle Bebe! What I will remember the most is when we raced around the ridge. You won, I Danny claused. Rest in peace and hold a place for us all. We will meet again. Hold a spot for me! I miss you.
Love always,
Brother Dan

Uncle Chris,
I miss you so much! I think of you every day. My life won't be the same without hearing your voice and seeing your face.
"I miss you, I miss your smile, and I still shed a tear every once in a while, and even though it's different now, your still here somehow, my heart won't let you go, and I need you to know I miss you" Whenever I hear this song I will rememeber the good times I had with you and the tears I shed when I lost you.

Dear Christopher & Melissa,
I was driving in my car yesterday, thinking about your Dad, and the song "Old Days" by Chicago came on. Old days...Good times I remember-Gold days...days I'll always treasure. Old days-in my mind & in my heart to stay. Like my memories of Chris...in my heart I'll always treasure. If you ever need anything, I'm just a phone call away. Much love, Aunt Kats
