Thank you to all who have signed this guest book. It has meant the word to us to have so many people express the essence of Chris. That smile, that charm, the way he hugged you tight, his sunny disposition. He will live on in our hearts forever and ever. The Sarmousakis Family

April 26, 2005

There isn't the perfect combination of words to express my deepest sympathy. Words don't justify my intense sadness. Fran, Karen, and Doug, you have all held a special place in my heart and I hope and pray that you will find peace in knowing that Chris's spirit is soaring all around us. I have heard him in a familiar song on the radio...I have felt him over my shoulder while visiting Karen...I have seen his sun-kissed dimples shine when Fran talks about him. His love lives in us and through our actions and words. Keep his spirit alive...live, love, laugh.

Dear Franny, Karen and Doug

Family is something that stays with you no matter where you end up in life. Our lives may change, but love is always constant. Having just found out about Chris, I felt compelled to tell you all how much I love and miss you and how much I loved Chris. He was a good soul. Sadly, it seems that it is always the good souls who are tortured most by life, no matter what we try to do for them. I am so sorry for your loss. I will always remember that wonderful smile of his, his sense of humor and the way he hugged so hard. He was so full of life and love for everyone around him, especially his family. He will be missed by so many. I hope Chris is finally at peace and that your family heals from this loss and it makes you stronger. As I write this, with tears in my eyes, I have to stop and smile because, knowing Chris, I have a funny feeling that he is sitting up there, hanging out with GP,causing a ruckus and playing jokes on the angels. My best to you all. Love Kim

Dear Fran, Karen and Doug:

I have only the fondest of memories of Chris. Whether he was removing his own braces in Carm Sr.'s garage, or riding his motor cycle into the lobby at the University of Miami to visit me, he always found a way to bring fun and laughter to a situation. I will truly miss him. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.



Love, Bryan Ehrlich and family

Fran,Karen, Doug and Family,

I share your sorrow, sadness and loss. Words really cant explain the emotion. Chris was my sunshine in life and now the sun has set. I will always remember the good times and of course the endless laughs we gave eachother.I dont know who laughed more, him or I. So many people loved him dearly Fran, and that was your spirit in him that they loved so much. I knew that when I met you. I know everyday something reminds me of Chris and I pray we all keep his spirit alive. Chris was a humanatarian. He never met a human that didnt like or love him. Thats the reason so many are at a loss without him. I love all of you and will be praying for your comfort and understanding from our Lord and Savior. Chris would want all of you to know what a wonderful life it was, having all of the special people he had, to go through life with. All of the surfing with Doug meant the world to him. All of the special home cooked meals at Karens. The childhood memories with Grandma and Grandpa Rossi. And of course of you Fran, the most loving, devoted, compassionate, true to the end mother that you are completely.My Love is with you always.
