Just thought of an old friend Chris Torres rest in peace. We became really close friends right before you passed away along with Anthony. Another guy named Donnell and a few other individuals. Couldn´t really remember their names anyways I remember you being a really good friend to me, although I was new to the crowd, your brother-in-law was a gentleman named Noe live down in Natomas. Can´t remember your sister´s name. Also remember your mom being really solid and what a real supposed to be may you rest in peace old friend. See you up there one day.

Hello Son

It's been a few years since i wrote to you but you're never far from my mind and heart. Well first off I had a rough day, with sister being in Hawaii with your dad and you in heaven. That I felt so alone without you guys. The last few days I've been dreaming about the past and how happy we were. It also made me think about all the what if's but i can hear you say mom there's no if or buts only they're is. Oh Chris how I wish you were here with us. You would be so proud of Teeny she's already 14. 5 yrs old and she starting 9th grade can you believe that. Your baby girl is getting so big. By the time you l know it. She will be driving and start having you know the B word yep a boyfriend and graduating from high school. Well your niece Crystal is not far from Teeny either she started 7th grade. can you believe sister has a 12 yrs old kid. never did I think she would have a kids. Well son, i need to get some sleep I've been feeling tired lately not sure why. Well good night son. mama loves you. Say hi to papa and tio baby boy for me and tell them I miss them too.

Everyday my heart aches because Teeny is growing and you're not here physically to see it. But she is in good hands. I know you are watching over her. I never got to tell you how proud I was of you because you were going to the army. We miss you a lot Chris. REST IN PARADISE...

It's been a while since I found myself here. But still not a day passes where I don't think of you. I smile at times to hide the pain. I cry in silence. I try to be strong but I am weak. The more time passes I realize the further you are from me. The missing piece in my heart is still there, when does the pain end? When do the tears stop? When does the hurt go away? My life has changed so much and everyday I wish you were here to see your niece and how much she is like you. I tell myself your spirit carried on in her. One day we shall meet again. You watch over me, I can feel it. Your strength has helped me get through some difficult times. Please keep me safe my guardian angel. I love you with all my heart!

Will Chris, here we are July 9th and it's almost been 4 years since you left us and gone to heaven. There isn't a day I don't think about you. I have missed you so much that it hurts every time. The pain I feel in my heart will never go away...as long as I live. You have never been forgotten not even by your friends.

A matter a fact I ran into Sheena...remember her... yea how could you not remember her you guys were so close that she even would called you my HUSBAND...and you my WIFE funny isn't how life turned out. You both went on to marry diffent people. I will do my best Chris to keep in touch with everyone even Lee and Doneil and Randy...they still call me mom. Can you belive that Randy has 2 kids now. wow what a change in him. You would be so PROUD of Randy and even Lee & Doneil. Will son, hate to go but I need to get back to work.

Love you for ever & ever.

Melissa Torres

February 24, 2007

Dear Chris,
I missing you some much like always..you are always on my mind..I try to imagine that you are still here and at times its hard bec. I go back to they very day this pain began. I try to put it in the back of my head and say to myself he is at bootcamp or something. But I know you are in heaven ..in a better place..but u left to soon. I get so confused sometimes I dont know what else to do to but to carry on for Teeny like you wanted. I think what would we be doin in life at this time and such. Our life together was cut way to short and most of all your life was taken. Teeny calls for you from time to time and it breaks my heart.. I cant wait until we can be together again.. I love you always and forever.. your wife.

I miss you Chris, whoever said that time heals, really lied. My wounds from losing you will never heal. I think of you so much and it hurts so bad. I sometimes think to myself that you are still here in some way, shape or form. Christina and I look at your pictures and she laughs. I know she misses you so. I love you Chris. ALWAYS AND FOREVER..your wife..

January 1, 2007

Happy New Year Chris! Another year without you. I just can't beleive it that your gone to another place where I can't be with you. My heart is so broken it will ever heal while I'm alive. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you and wonder what you would be doing or what you would say. But I can just image and I can still hear your voice laughing and telling jokes or playing with Teeny. I wish you where here with us Chris. I pray everday hoping to see you come thru the door and say hey mom it was just a bad dream I'm here. Don't ever forget that I LOVE YOU so much Chris. See you in Heaven son.

Love Mom

Melissa Torres

Happy New Year Babe,
another year without you..i will try to make the best of this year and years to come with the memories i have of you on mind. i will struggle to make Christina's years to come full of joy and laughter, of which we would have shared with you. not a day goes by where i don't think of you and all the good times we had..we had some bad, but i just laugh to think of how silly those times were. i still can't sleep in our room bec. it hurts to lay on our bed alone..it hurts to be alone anywhere without you, but i know i will always have you in my heart. i know you are looking down upon Teeny and I and protect us from what lies up ahead. we miss you like crazy though..see you in my dreams..love your wife

Hey Chris,
Its now another year that has passed and I still miss you like crazy! The pain is getting worse and so am I.I think about you everyday and I cant shake the horrible pain in my heart and stomach. I cant even drive down the street by myself without thinking of you. My panic attacks are coming more often and I am scared. I miss you sooo much its driving me crazy. I cry for you behind closed doors so no one can hear me. I cry all the time and no one knows. I find myself remembering a lot of times we shared. I wonder if you can hear me crying and I wonder if you can see me. Sometimes I pray to you to help me get through the days. Life has been so difficult and there are times I want to give up and curl up in a ball. I wish you were here. Things would have been so much better. I cant beleive how my life is spirling out of control. I need you to pull me out of this mess. Please find a way to help me. Even though you are gone I still need your help!

I love you and miss you so much. Another year will not be the same.

Love you lots,
Your sis, Liz

December 28, 2006

Merry Christmas Chris, I know its late but i have not forgot you. You will always be in my heart and in my mind. Wishing you were here with us.There isn't a day that goes by that I don't cry or think or you.

Don't forget to meet me at the gates of Heaven when we will be reunited again.

Chris,

Last night I felt as if you were here with me. Although, I know you are always here with me in my heart..last night was one of those nights where I could not sleep and found myself thinking of you constantly to where I get up and actually change rooms. I was thinking of the time when we first time we kissed and how I bumped my head on the mustang door afterwards and those times we would spend hours talking in the parking lot at Arden. I wish they could have been more times like those. I miss you and love you..your wife

Melissa Torres

Love Mom

August 22, 2006

Wow! Chris,

It's been a year today, where do I begin? The day you were born, the day you became a father or that fateful day when you were taken away from us so suddenly. I have missed you so much that my heart aches and is broken into millions of pieces that could never be put back together.



Will Chris, we had a church service for you today, sister gave such a nice speech and can you beleive that Lee even read this poem that I found. It was beautiful the words just pop out and it seem as if you were reading them to us. Some of your friends showed up, it was nice seeming them i just wish you were there with them laughing and making jokes just the way you use too do. But now all we have are memories of you that will last a life time.



You know Chris, when I went up to Oregon I did some thinking when I took a long walk up there. I realized my last words to you were " Mama love's you don't tell sister that your my favorite". I'm so gald I said it not everybody has that chance but I did and i'm very thankful for it. Wish you were here son, may the good lord keep you safe under his wing as I did.



Until we see each other again,

Chris & Melissa 637

Chris,
It was this very day that we lost you, a year ago.There are no amount of words that can ever tell how much we are hurting bec. of your loss and how much we miss you. I love you babe, is really all I can say besides the fact that I wish this was all a dream and would just wake up. My heart will remain empty until we meet again. Teeny and I will love you forever. your wife and your lil teeny..

Melissa Torres

August 21, 2006

Chris,

It was year ago this day, that I last saw you alive and well. You were wearing a black shirt, blue jeans and your black nikes. We kissed each other goodbye and told eachother that we loved one another. I miss you and I wish that you were still here so that we could love each other more and so that Teeny and I could have grown old with you. Today like any other day without you is difficult to deal with and so will tomorrow and so forth. I will never stop loving you, your wife--Melissa

August 19, 2006

Chris,

I miss you so much..Today I went through some of our pictures and it was so hard and frustrating. Memories played in my mind as tears rolled down my face. I cried and cried realizing all over again that you are really gone. I wish I can see you, to tell how much we all love you and miss you. You are in my thoughts all the time. Why did you have to go so soon? I know you are in a better place and that I will see you again some day. Love you always, your wife.

Chris,



It's been 7 months since you been gone..It's been tough without you..I find it hard to even write down my feelings and thoughts about how much I miss you. I think of you everyday and everynight, wondering is he coming home. It is still hard to believe that you are gone. I wait by the window sometimes only to realize that you are not coming home and I cry to myself. I toss and turn at night, but when I turn you are not there. Sometimes I try to find comfort by looking at your pictures and remincising about the special times we had, but it is still not enough. Teeny is going to miss out on having a father in her life and I am missing out on growing old with you. I never thought this could ever happen and I blame myself for failing to protect you. Your mom and everyone else misses you. It is hard sometimes to be around you mom bec. like with Teeny I see you. You, Christina, Christian, Nathan and your Mom were my family and with you being gone once again I feel like life has cheated me and has taken love out of my life once again. You were my hero, you were the one who brought meaning to my life, you gave me your unconditional love and you gave me your life, Teeny. I miss you so much BABE.. I wish I could see you and hear you say BABE..I Love You or Teeny IS NUMBER ONE.. I know you are in a better place looking down on all of us. All I can do is cherish our memories and try to live life the way you wanted me to. I know you want me to be happy, to smile and to enjoy the rest of my life, but one thing I know for sure is that I will never find true happiness again as that all went away when your life was taken. I promise to raise Teeny the way we both wanted and to love her and to show her your love. If I could give up my life I would trade in a heart beat to see Teeny's smile on her face when she sees you again. LIKE WE ALWAYS TOLD EACH OTHER.."I LOVE YOU DA BEBE"



Love,



your wife/daughter

Will Chris, it now been six month and it seems just yesterday that you left us. How I miss you so much SON. I can’t even begin to tell you how my life has been without you. Everyday I wait for you to call or come home and say, hey mom I’m home now! Or mom can you watch Teeny so Melissa and I can spend some time alone. Oh Chris my heart is so broken I don’t think it will ever mend as long as I’m alive. I just can’t wait to hold you in my arms and say Oh Chris, how I waited so long to say, “Mama loves you so much! But I know one day you will be waiting for me at the Gates of Heaven with open arms and say Mom you’re home with me now. Love you always Chris



Love,

Mom

Hey Chris,

Happy Valentines Day! I miss you so much everyday. It seems as if only it was yesterday that you and I were here laughing and joking together. I miss you making fun of me and making me smile. I sit at home everyday and wait for you to call or walk in through the front door, then night falls and I realize your not coming home. I cry for you everyday. There is so much that I need to tell you, and so much that i didnt get to say. I wish you were here because I need you sooo much! I dream of you all the time, and it kinda helps, but then I wake up and I am all confused and realize it was just a dream. I sometimes find comfort by laying in your old room and looking at your pictures. I try to remember all the good times we had. If there is something that I learned from you, it was to live life like there is no tomorrow. I hope you know how much you are loved and missed!



I love you my little big brother,

Liz

I have known you for years thru work and outside of work,never did I imagine that I would get a call from you telling me that chris was gone, my heart aches for you and the whole family. I am here for you whenever you need me, I will remember Chris for all his jokes and how funny he was he was so full of life and his attitude was so easy going he will be missed, but he does live on thru his daughter Christina.

Oh Christopher, Where do I begin? It seems just yesterday you were born and I was holding you in my arms. And now, look at you! All grown up married and a father to a very beautiful daughter. You have given me so much in just a short time. What more can a mother ask for, you were my strength my best friend but most of all you were my SON. I’ll truly miss you with all my heart. I can’t imagine life without you my heartaches so deeply that I wish I could hold you again and say – Chris mama loves you, you’re my favorite, don’t tell sister.

If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, I’d walk right up to Heaven and bring you home again

Love,
Mom

To the family of Christopher Torres:



We were so sorry to hear of the tragic event that happened. Shock, disbelief at such a sad event. Although we have not seen Chris in quite awhile, he will always be truly special to us. We remember when Dean was doing his Mom & Stepdad's backyard, Christopher was always wanting to help. He was a strong and intelligent young man then and from what we have heard, he grew to be a remarkable young man. We remember taking him on our boat and how much fun he had. He loved life and how unfortunate that a senseless act could take someone so special.



To his wife and child, although we did not know you, we hope you always remember how special he was to everyone he touched.



To his sister, you were always his number one priority and if you needed him, he would always be there for you. He loved you very much and for that there is no doubt.



To the rest of his family, you raised a fine young man and our heart goes out to you.



May you find comfort in knowing how truly remarkable this young man was and how many he lives he touched in such a small time here.



Our love to you all.



Sincerely,



The Calonders

All our prayers go out to all of your famalies. I remember like it was just yesterday when Chris and my brother Lee were going off to junior high, they were both cracking jokes talking about how many girls they would pull!:) Then when he found Melissa & he was so happy then that turned into being so proud when his daughter came along! He was my family and we all loved him and are going to miss him so much.

I remember Chris bringing Christina to Papas 1st birthday party and little Christina is so active that he was constantly chasing after her. What a beautiful father daughter moment I'll have visually imprinted in my mind! Wonderful Dad!

To the family of Chris,

I am sorry to hear about your family's loss on Chris. I will never forget Chris as long as live. He lived every day he could with a wonderful personality. It just seems like yesterday we were all going to JR high school and then we were off to high school to suceed in our schooling. It's truly amazing how time passes by us by. As I remember Chris he was the type of person that seemed to be loving and outgoing. I will truly miss Chris... But until we see Chris again my thoughts and prayers are with everyone in this family...

Where do I begin…?

After reading the news reports and watching the news clips, I find myself speechless and can't seem to find the proper words to express how truly sorry I am for your families’ enormous loss. It seems like only yesterday, a giddy, new ‘auntie Liz’ was chirping away telling us that her little brother was a daddy! Now, it’s difficult to visualize that daddy not being able to do the little things with his daughter that most children take for granted. Or for his wife to not be able to grow old with the man she chose to love and share her life with.

Often, our daily routines let us forget how truly precious every moment with family is. I didn’t know Chris personally, but I am heartbroken that his family now has to deal with the sudden and unnecessary loss of his life. And though your family is grieving now, I hope that soon, you will begin to heal and try to celebrate Chris’s life.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family,

The Santana and Silva Family
