I just wanted to thank everyone that signed Chris' Guest Book. I keep logging back in to read them all again. I miss Chris so much, but it helps to know that he loved and was loved by so many people. I thank God everyday for all the people who have offered support to my family. CHRIS - FOREVER LOVED NEVER FORGOTTEN!!!

I will remember Chris in many ways. The summer we went to the beach together every single day, the nights we went out to the clubs, the back flips he did, the time he jumped off the 3rd story diving board numerous times when we lived in Mexico together. The times we lived together in Goshen and the couple times I went to Georgia.

I will remember him as a classy dresser, a fluent Spanish speaker and always the life of the party.

Giles made me laugh so hard so many times.

Most of all, I will remember how much Chris loved & cared about his family and friends.

It's very rare for me to connect with someone the way I connected with Chris. Chris was one of my closest friends and I will always cherish the time we spent together.

It was a pleasure to be with his wonderful family in Georgia this last week. Now I know why he always talked about and loved you guys so much.

Phyllis,

I am sorry for the loss of your son. I am sorry that I never got a chance to know Chris. Chad has shared lots of his memories of his time growing up with Chris. He still thinks of Chris as his brother, and shares in your loss.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Phyllis and family, I am so very sorry to hear about Chris. No one should ever have to lose a child. It's something you will never "get over" but time will make it easier to live with.
