Chris,
Sitting here still in shock just getting the word. Always expected to hear you just roll up to my house to pop in and catch up as so many times before through the years. That or be in Stop-N-Go somewhere and run into you (again like so many you knew). Always seemed like everywhere you went you knew someone that was glad to see you. I always admired that outgoing personality of yours. You touched a lot of peoples lives.
The good times we had are too many to count and I will always remember them. You where a friend when friends where hard to come by and I will always be grateful for that.
Rest easy Brother. I miss you.
*My deepest sympathy to family and friends whose lives Chris touched

To Mr. and Mrs. Lupe Flores & Family,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your Precious Son. I know that there is never a perfect word of condolences that will make this time less painful. I pray that you and your family will someday find comfort, knowing that He is Home. Until you all meet again, may his memories fill your heart with happiness and the knowledge that someday you will be together again.
God Bless You Lupe, and your family.
You may not remember me, but I attended St.Agnes with you and your sister. My name is Christine Alaniz Rodriguez.

Baby - Remember you will always have my heart. I wouldn't trade the last 9 1/2 years for anything. I have loved you since our first kiss. I will miss our New Years Eve fireworks, giving you "big fish kisses" before you went fishing, and camping on the beach. But most of all I will miss how safe I always felt in your arms.
Forever your wife until we can be together again - Janet

My dearest Chris, you were such a joy and quite a little rascal when you were growing up and I enjoyed every minute of it. Seeing you grow in the fine young man you grew up to be made me very proud of you. I know you took great pride in your work, and the love you had for your Mom and Dad was very heart warming. Your passion for fishing was fun to see and enjoy. I will miss you terribly. It pains my heart to see Virgie and Lupe and your sisters in such sadness and pain. We love and will always miss you. New Years will never be the same for all of us. My love, thoughts and prayers are with you, Lupe & Virgie and family. Love you much, Aunt Vicky.

My dear nephew, words cannot express the sadness I feel. I loved you like a son, and you gave us so many wonderful memories. I still see you as a young boy and young man.
