It is hard to believe that it has been 6 months since Chris has left us to savor his memory. I think of him often & I wonder what he would say to his mom & dad now. What could he say to soothe the pain you both feel so deeply? I do believe with all my heart & soul that Chris would tell you how much he loved & continues to love you all very much. Chris would also tell you that there is Nothing to forgive; because, he knew he had the best mom & dad anyone could ever have & he knew that if it were within your power, you would instantly move both heaven & earth to help him.... he knows that! I know I haven't walked in your shoes; but I do miss Chris a Lot. I know what he meant to our family & the lasting memory he has in our minds & hearts of his Kind,Gentle, Forgiving & Loving soul to many; but most importantly, to you, his parents & family. If I had any power what so ever; I would ease the pain that you all have; but, I am not God. Please know how much you all mean to our family & know that you all are our 'Forever' Friends. Much Love Always, Vickie & Steve ~~~

John,Debie,Daniel and Casey-I just learned about Chris on Monday. I just want to tell each of you how sorry I am. I can still picture Chris and Danny at the daycare. They were great kids and very special to all of us. We never got to know Casey, but I'm sure she is precious too. Debie, I also remember what wonderful parents you and John were. Your love for both of your boys was obvious. I wish there was something I could do or say to help relieve your pain.We know Chris is at peace with God and that someday you will all be reunited!! My family and I will keep you all in our prayers. Please know that we are heartbroken about the loss of Chris. I told my youngest son Blake about Chris and he told me that he had a speech class with Chris at SLU several semesters ago. We all send our love and want to express our deepest sympathy. Again,I am so sorry. Love,Dianne Bradshaw Wonsch

Debbie and John, I just learned about Chris's passing today. I wish I could have been with all of you at the time. My heart is crushed. He was one of our precious babies at the daycare. I honestly don't know what to say. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I know Chris is in a better place than us. I will pray for your family diligently. You know,Mr. and Mrs. B. are probably talking his ears off. I love you! Rhonda

May 9, 2007
CHRIS,
A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried,
If love alone would have saved you,
You would of never died.
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still,
In my heart you hold a place,
No one can ever fill.
A light from our household is gone,
A voice from our love is stilled,
A place in our vacant home,
Which never can be filled.
Some may think you are forgotten,
Though on earth you are no more,
But in my memory you are with me,
As you always were before.
It broke my hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone,
A part of me went with you,
The day God called you home.
Your precious memories are for keepsakes,
with which we never part,
God has you safely in his keeping,
But I have you forever in my heart
LOVE YOU,
AMANDA
AMANDA FUQUA
May 8, 2007
CHRIS,
Saying goodbye is never easy
It's the hardest thing to do
But what hurts even more
Is not the chance to say it to you.
Yesterday is just a memory
Our laughter was sunny and bright
Then clouds started to gather
For you were no where in sight.
You were my first real love
And this I will never forget
How you left without a warning
No good-byes, my only regret.
If again I must go there
And experience all the pain
I would do it in a minute
For all the good I would gain.
No matter what my wrongs
You offered only love
Until the day you left me
For your new home up above.
I know you still are with me
Your love is within my heart
Though life is no longer present
Our souls will never part.
This is given to you in honor
Of all that we did share
I just wanted you to know, dear,
How much I really did care.
I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU!!!

April 25, 2007
Mom,
Don't cry because you think I'm gone, for I am with you still.
Don't seek reasons to explain
what is simply just God's will.
It's very hard to leave all of you
and everything I've known, but my work on earth is done now. Our Lord has called me home.
I know you will find comfort. Just let faith guide your way. Cause, from the moment I was born, I have been preparing for this day.
Remember me for the laughter,
that's the greatest gift we give.
Keep me in your heart and mind
because that's where I now live.
If ever you feel you need me,
you can close your eyes and see,
I'm still right here with you,
I'm alive in your memory.
All your friends and family in Slidell love you.

Dear Debbie,
I was so sorry to learn of the loss of your son. How my heart grieves for you and your family. We also lost our son, Christian, on New Years Day. There are no answers as to why some of our most loved young ones leave us too soon. But, I do know that God will carry us through this grief. All we can do is trust him and take it one hour and one day at a time. You were always so kind to my children when we went into Dr. Mayer's office. I will pray for you.
Sincerely
Laura Cagle

We are very saddened by your great loss. We will always cherish all of our memories of Chris as a young boy at Lake Castle. Most of all though, we were very thankful for his friendship and love for our grandaughter Amanda.

People say they're sorry and mean it from the heart, but to understand your heartache I couldn't even start, to have a loss you have had,is too much to understand. We see it and feel for you, but it's only secondhand, you're the ones who are suffering and we're the ones who care, but if there's anything we can do call us well be there.
