Christopher, we're going to Grandma Linn's funeral Saturday. She was 100. Somehow it makes me feel better that you all are together now. People talk to me about you all the time, especially Martha. Every time we run into old Heights Club friends, there's always a funny story. Missing you and loving you! Grams

I talked to Emily tonight, i couldn't believe it was her reaching out to me. She remembered you talking about Sammi and she knew how much you loved me. I told her how much i love you too. She is all grown up now. You loved her so much. We all miss you so much it's so unfair you were taken away so soon! You didnt deserve that!! You were the most amazing person i ever knew. So respectful, and always there for me. You always made me smile and your smile OMG you had an amazing smile and an amazing heart. I wish you were here. I love you Chris. One of the best friends ive ever had or will ever have. I know you're in heaven smiling down on all of us!

Every day, you're on my mind and in my heart. I miss you so much brother. Life can be so unfair, taking a beautiful soul from this earth too soon. You had so much more to experience. Not having an older brother to reach out to and talk to is so hard but I know you're watching us from Heaven. I Love you so much... I just wish you were here so I could hug you one more time.

With deepest sympathy to Terry, Christopher's godfather. You always set aside anything you were doing to immediately respond to phone calls regarding a situation Christopher was in. You gave him direction. You taught him the important things such as morals and values. At times you had to resort to tough love, but you loved him unconditionally and there were so many things he did that made you very proud of him.
Please try to remember this was his destiny and there isn't anything anyone could have done that would have changed what happened. When he came into this world it was already decided when and how he would leave it.
May God grant you the serenity to accept that which cannot be changed.

Mary,
I remember Christopher coming into the office with you. It's hard to understand why something like this happened.
You and your family have my sympathy. I hope each of you have your own pleasant memories to sustain you.
You are in my prayers.
Please call me any time.

Chris, you know how much David and I both cared for you. You meant alot to the both of us and don't know how we are gonna be able to go on without you. Everything that we've done, you were either there or thought of. You was like a little brother to me at times and a son at other times. We've had good and bad times, but through it all. You always told us that you loved us as we did you. You will definatly be missed by all of us. There were more people in you life that had your back than you knew. I'm just so sorry that you had to suffer the way you did. You didn't deserve that ever!!! You always had me laughing at some crazy thing that you either said or done and I'm gonna miss that gorgeous smile of yours. We love you Chris. Save us a spot upstairs man and please do me a huge favor and watch over the rest of the clan cause we all need it. We love you and we're gonna miss you very much. You will ALWAYS be in our hearts.....Love you so much, Becky and David

im sorry for what happened to chris

I am still shocked that such an awful thing has happened to a person who was really just starting to live his life. Chris would come by my work and we would talk for quite awhlie. I frequently think about him, a good friend of his (my boyfriend), and myself turning up a Crosby Stills and Nash song in my shop and bobbing our heads around like silly kids. He had a great smile, and he was deeply cared for by a co-worker of mine who had previously taught him at Rivermont..Everytime they saw eachother they'd both get that great big goofy smile. Now his spirit is at ease, and he will be smiling down on all of us here on earth. I am so sorry for the Fralin's loss and to all of the others who cared for Chris. Healing will take time, but justice will come fast and peace will take the place of anger. Knowing that Chris is forever at peace is a comforting thought. The family is in my daily thoughts. Blessings to you all.

I never knew you Chris but you seem to have made an effect on lots of people from what Ive taken notice. Something like this shouldnt happen to nobody. As for the family its hard to lose somebody and you have my deepest regards. But God will make him happier than anybody on this earth could have made him. Hes got it all now. Be happy for him!

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Chris, you know that out of the hundreds of kids I've worked and played with you became one of the most special from the very begining. I'll forever be glad that you knew I'd be there for you (no matter how old you got). Over the years I,ve been proud of you and disapointed in you, I've applauded you and fussed at you, I've held you back and prodded you forward but mostly I've loved you!
Peace for you from now on!!!
Bye boy.

Chris homie, it's not going to be the same without you. You were such an amazing sweetheart! The smile on your face always brought a smile out of someone who was down. It's been hard, I can't go though the day without thinkin' of memories... I wish I could bring you back man but I guess we all just have to take it all in and be a survivor, eh? You will never ever be forgotten homie, ever!
I'll see you on the other side with the peace sign up two fingers in the sky.
To Chris' family:
I'm sorry for your loss and it's a loss to a lot of people... you should feel proud that you raised a very sweet and loving guy. Chris was amazing and he loved you guys so much.
You'll be missed...
"But at least I'm a survivor..."
