I'm missing you more everyday. You made everything beautiful and you were a person that ignigted thoughts and change in others. You were so magnetic and so giving. I hope wherever you are, you have found the quiet you were looking for. I'll love you for the rest of my life and I'll miss you everyday.

Love you guys... Miss my friend.. I remember few things about my childhood but one memory still makes me salivate. It was with Chris in your garage when we both sampled some gravy train dog food as a result of a dare. I have often wondered if it would have tasted better if we had added the water to it. Great memories, Great person. Miss you Chris. Brad Iverson

Diane, I was so sad to hear and then read about Chris. He was a wonderful boy. I remember his artistic abilities and his sweet personality as a child. I am so sorry for your loss. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

What a beautiful tribute for a beautiful person. Chris had such a sensitive soul that you couldn't help but feel peaceful and comfortable with him. Your family amazes me and I'm so sorry for your loss. You have constantly been in my prayers and I think the world of you guys. May God be with you! Love, "lizabell"

My heart goes out to you at this time. You have been in my prayers. I met Chris through my sister, Paula. I found him to be amazing! He was so sweet. I'm truly sorry for your loss. Your family will continue to be in my prayers.

Diane and Family . . . Words seem so inadequate at a time like this. Our family has such wonderful memories of Chris. He was not only a truly gifted man, but had a kind and caring spirit. Chris taught our son, Tyler, in Primary when he returned home from mission and had an impact on helping him learn the gospel and prepare for his own mission. You have endured much more than your share of challenges. Please know how much we love you and pray for you and your family.

Diane. I was so heartbroken to hear that you had suffered another loss in your family. Although I didn't know Chris, looks like he has alot of your attributes from reading comments. Cherish the memories of him and take comfort in the fact that he is with family members on the other side.

Diane, I was so sad to hear about Chris. As I read the obituary, it sounded exactly like the VERY bright little boy I knewin first grade at Morgan El. I am just glad that he had a chance to share some of his talents with us all. I remember him well.

To Birth Mother, Rachel Cullimore
I read the obit and saw your name. We worked together back in the '70s, in Provo, UT.(formerly B. Honyaoma). My son, was also named Christopher and he died last August 16, 2010, (36 years). I feel your pain and his adopted mother's pain. I don't think there is anything more painful than the loss of your child. Remember, all the good and positive times. The smiles, laughter, and thoughtfulness he displayed. Soon a year will have gone by, since I lost my Chris, and I can still break out in tears when I remember something sweet. RaChel, I send you and his Mother Comfort and Peace.

God bless you as you go through such a difficult time. Much love,

Diane and family,
I was deeply saddened to hear of Chris' passing. He and all of the Maynes children were so kind to Joan, me and especially our girls when we lived as neighbors. I am so proud to have a portrait hanging in my home that Chris painted of my 4 oldest daughters. Now when I look at at it, it will have an added special meaning.
My thoughts and best wishes are with you at this time.

I am so very sorry to hear that Chris had passed. I only new him for a brief time in High School but he made a very big impression on me. He always saw the beauty in the world and the people around him and that came out in his art and his personality. He was a great friend and I feel extraordinarily fortunate to have known him.

Diane, You did such an amazing job raising Chris, he was always such a gentleman and a peacemaker. He took great care of Hannah and me and I am thankful for the brief time we shared together. He showed me what it was like to be truly loved and our lives are better for having known him. You all are in our thoughts and prayers. With Love and Admiration....

When I think of Chris, I remember how easy he was to be around. He was a good kid and I know you were very proud of him.
In fact, I remember when he left on his mission... we were all proud of him. Chris was a fine son... a wonderful young man!
I remember when Keith died, we all felt that you were in "good hands" because you had Chris. He was dependable and sensitive. He was a great #1 son.
I don't know why things happen like they do... You, Ben, Emily and Erin have had much more tragedy then seems possible. My heart breaks for you.
We love you dearly... always have... always will....
