I've been thinking of you lately, and find myself wondering what you'd be doing now! We are good, Mark and I are married and have a baby who just turned one today, her name is Brianna Christine. Christine is in part for you, and also for Mark's grandmother. It seemed like the perfect choice when she was born.
You may be gone for now, but you are definitely not forgotten.
Love,
Bonnie

Christina, I will never forget you. I think of you often and wonder what kind of crazy things you'd have gotten yourself into. I dont talk to Bonnie very often I wish we did talk more but we are both so very busy. I've been living in Florida for 5 years now and am happy for the most part. I miss you so much gurl. But I know I will see you again. love you.

Hey Christina,
Just wanted to know that we haven't forgotten you. Mark and I have been married almost 4 years now, and guess what? We're expecting! We're so excited. I swear I can't help but think of you sometimes, wondering what you would have been doing down here, how your life would have turned out. Dia and I still talk, although not as much as I'd like sometimes. She seems to be doing well, and like me could never forget you.
I know that we'll meet again, and when we do I'll understand a little better why you left us so early, and we can laugh and renew our friendship, but until then I will wonder, and think of you.
Your Friend,
Bonnie

Hi Sweetie, It seems like forever since we lost you. Missing you is a daily experience. It is hard to believe that you have been gone almost 4 years, your sister is going to turn 18 soon and then she will graduate from high school. Oh how I wish you were here. We love you Christina.

Hi Sweetie, Well I have been talking with your sister about her going to college after she graduates. Hard to believe your younger sister graduating from high school and going to college. She thinks she wants to go to Georgia Southern, isn't that a hoot after the conversations we had about your going there. We miss you and I wonder sometimes what life would had been like if you were still here. I love you!

Honey, I just wanted to let you know I haven't forgotten. Every time I drive past your tree, I salute or blow a kiss.. I don't allow myself not to look. I owe it to you to see it.
I'm getting married (finally!) this year. I just wanted to be the first to tell you that Mark and I are dedicating our wedding to you guys. I don't know how I'm going to do it yet, but I am.
Don't worry, you'll so get an invitation!
Dia and I are trying to keep an eye on your sis, btw. We're certainly not you, but it never hurts to keep an eye out, does it? :)

ya kno, i sometimes sit in my room *what used to be your room* and wonder if u are jus sittin there next to me...
Things are weird lately, i feel myself wondering more about you now, than then. What are you doing now? You come to visit me? do you see the stupid things i do? *sigh* I wonder if the things i go through are somewhat an equivolant of what you went thruogh...and if so, i wish i were closer to you. High Schools tough. The people in this world are tough. Sometimes, we loose those we love...and then, we are stuck wondering about the nect 50 years of our lives...the 50 years we thought of with that person in it. I always thought you were gonna be there...and i thought you and me would grow closer. hah...well, i love you.
jus thought i'd say what was on my mind...

Christina, I was sitting here thinking about you and Chad tonight and thought I would write you a note. I just realized that in all the comotion I never once wrote to you. I just wanted to say that I love you as if you were a part of my family. Thank you from every beat of my heart, for making my brother happy. When he was with you I noticed how he glowed and felt so strongly about you. I know he really loves you, because he once told me. We had many chats...He really cared for you. Throughout the months of you and Chad being together, you and I became really close friends. I miss our talks and just hanging out with our group of friends (the car club) :). I am so glad that I got to know you. You really made a difference in Chads life. That in its self made a wonderful impression on me. You are missed and loved by so many. I hope that you know I really love and miss you too. I know I could never replace you, but I am trying to be like a big sister to Brittany. Well, I hope you and Chad are holding hands smiling down on us right now. We miss you so much. Love you....Love always, Your "sister-in-law", Crystal MUAH!

Christina, I dreaded the weeks following up to the 18th. I went to sleep on the 17th knowing that the 18th would be a very unhappy day for me, thinking of you and Chad and how much we all miss you. But then... I woke up that morning... and the entire day I had a song in my heart and a smile on my face. It was beyond me... but it felt good to be able to finally smile and be okay with things. I miss you very much. Crys

I was at Memorial Day School for only a year in second grade when Christina was in third grade. I never knew her personally, but she was always sweet when she spoke to me. Even after all this time I remember her cheeky grin and welcoming laugh. My mother was the one who mentioned her name to me and I was shocked at the news; Mr. and Mrs. Harshman, I know that in your time of grief it is difficult to appreciate and even accept condolences, but please know, that while Christina and I were not friends, I have remembered her all of these years and will continue to do so. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. -Shelby

Christina, I miss you. We all do. Bonnie and I are waiting for Dia to come home, and then we are going to hang out and get to know each other better, me and Dia. We've started to get to know each other now and stuff... you'd be really happy about that. I'm sorry I didn't hang out with yall as much as I could have in highschool. I passed by SAA the other day and thought about the time I walked with you home. I don't remember what I was suppose to be doing, but that memory of us walking is one of my best memories with you. (That and my mom thinking you were me @ every concert).. I love you.

Curt & Family,
We want to give you our sympathy in the loss of Christina. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. After reading the guestbook, I came to realize that Christina was a well liked, beautiful young lady, who had a contagious smile, and had touched many lives. God must have needed a beautiful angel in heaven to help him when he decided to call her home. Always remember the wonderful memories that she has given you & keep them close to your hearts, for that is where she is still alive. She lives in your hearts, walks with you in spirit, and one day you will all meet again in heaven.

Dear Curt, Becky, and Brittany,
I just wanted to let you know that all of you have been in my prayers since I first heard about the accident. I know that loss is never easy, especially when it occurs like this. I also remember how close your family was from when I had Brittany in 2nd grade. I have kept up with news about Brittany and know you are proud of how well she is doing. I want you to know that you made an impression on me and I am glad for having known you. My prayers for you are that you will experience not only Christ's peace and comfort at this time and through the years to come, but that you will also experience His joy, knowing that Christina and Chad are both in His loving arms, safe and secure. I pray that because of this assurance, your lives will serve as a comfort and testimony to others that need to know His strength and peace.
Love and prayers,
Lorelei Faucette

Christina,
I know that you know we cared deeply for you, but right now I want to tell you what I never really got the chance to.
Thank you for making my son so happy. You were quite a young lady. You are lovely like a rose and your beauty is not superficial. You were just as beautiful on the inside as you were on the outside. You are a gentle spirit and kind. The one thing that stands out to me about you is that I never once heard you say an unkind thing about anyone. I do not think I could have hand picked anyone that would have even compared to you, to have been my daughter-in-law. That you always will be to me. I love you.
Love,
Cherie

Chris you were/are and forever will be my best friends we knew each others tears and paranoias we held each other together when we thought that no one could. We walked the halls of SAA together always talking. And we chasd each other endlessly on the feild. I will always love you and I will always care for you. You are always in my heart and I will never forget you, Or the stunts that we pulled. You are always with me. Forever yours. Dia

Pathway of Pain
If my days were untroubled and my heart always light,
would I seek that fair land where there is no night?
If I never grew weary with the weight of my load, would I search for God's peace at the end of the road?
If I never knew sickness and never felt pain, would I search for a hand to help and sustain?
If I walked without sorrow and lived without loss, would my soul seek solace at the foot of the cross? If all I desired was mine day by day, would I kneel before God and earnestly pray?
If God sent no winter to freeze me with fear, would I yearn for the warmth of spring every year?
I ask myself these questions and the answer is plain, If my life were pleasure and I never knew pain--I'd seek God less often and need Him much less,
For God is sought more often in times of distress. And no one knows God or sees Him as plain As those who have met Him on the pathway of pain.

Grandma is going to miss you alot. I will remember visiting when you were little and how you liked to play. You liked to wear dresses more than slacks. How you would greet me and give me hugs. Your beautiful smile with the dimples. I am glad we had some summers together so that I got to know you better. I will remember our good times and not being able to keep enough cucumbers and tomatoes for you and Brittany to eat. Our long talk when you called to tell me you and Chad were engaged and how happy you were. You and Chad are together now for always. It is so difficult to express the loss I feel. Love forever.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Harshman:
I had the pleasure of meeting Christina in October of 2003. I was passing through Savannah on my way back to Tennessee, and it was really close to my Birthday...and being the wonderful sister that she is...Cherie had a small birthday party for me, and all the family was there...and Christina. I was so impressed by her. She told me about dad working at Gulfstream, and her college goals. She was so articulate. She fit right in with our family. She was so good for Chad...she brought out the very best in him! As we are now all connected as family, I hope to visit with you when I am in Savannah. If you ever want to visit TN, you are welcome to stay with us. WE continue to pray for your family..now and always. With Love Donna DeVerges Weeks and Family (Chads' Aunt)

Curt, Becky, and Brittany,
Words cannot express the loss we are feeling. Our prayers and thoughts are with you. Sorry we could not be there with you. We will treasure the fun times at the lake and the memories that Christina has given us! We'll miss her stories about Savannah, like all the ghost stories she's shared with us, all the fun times tubing, skiing, and swimming. We know that God is taking care of Christina and Chad. We will continue to keep your family and Chad's family in our prayers.
All Our Love,

To the Harshman Family,
I am so sorry to hear about your daughter. Although I have never met her, after reading all the wonderful tributes written in this book, I feel she must have been a special individual. The loss of loved ones is never easy, but by keeping faith in God, and the knowledge of seeing her again one day, will give you peace.
Sincerely,

To Christina:
I will no longer be able to see that
sparkle in your eyes
when you smile at me
or hear the joy in your voice
when you call me Uncle Allan
or see the excitement in you face
when I walk in through the door
and you greet me with a warm hug
that tells me how much you missed me,
but I will always carry with me the
priceless memories
that you have given me;
like when you were a little girl
and we were sitting on the living room floor
and that cockroach crawled across the floor…
I’d never seen such a little girl jump up and run
The way you did and how that made me roll
With laughter;
And like the times you would tell me how
You liked “strawbies”
And the different video games
That you liked playing
And the cool music that
You liked listening to
And the last time I saw you
How you glowed when you talked about
Your plans for your future
And the new love in your life.
It was all so clear how
Happy you were and
How much love you held
In your heart.
These memories are your gifts to me
And they are the most precious gifts
That have enriched my life
And helped me understand that
The most precious gifts we
Can give to others are the ones
That no one can take from us
And that will always be with us
Even beyond this physical life
For I know the precious gifts
That were given to you
By those who loved you
Are With you now.
My sadness is only because
I can never see you the way
That I am used to
But my happiness is in knowing
That you have started
A whole new limitless adventure
And there I can visit you
Through my dreams.
Good-bye my sweet niece Christina.

To those who've posted who knew Christina: THANK YOU so very much. It has warmed our hearts as parents to know that she touched so many people's lives in so many positive ways. It helps her mother and I very much, to think we must have done something right to have raised such a child.
To the posters who did not know Christina, but knew other family members: THANK YOU. Your love, support, and just knowing how much others care is helping us through this awful time.
To those who did not know any of us, but posted their regards: THANK YOU. May you be rewarded many times over (in this life and the next) for your good hearts.
And finally, to Christina: Your mother, your sister, and I miss you so much I can't describe it. You touched my life and heart in ways I never would have thought possible, until you came along. But you'll be with Chad forever, which is where you wanted to be. Love, Dad.

To Mr. & Mrs. Harshman and Brittney,
I am so glad that I took the time to get to know Christina. From that very first day in October that she sat beside me in Marketing 100, I knew she was special. She was one of my project partners. She was so proud to be the "big sister" to Brittany, proud of the dad that worked at Gulfstream, proud of the mom that worked for the Real Estate attorney, and so very proud to be engaged to Chad. She loved you all so very much. My most memorable moment with Christina was the second day of our Selling class with Mrs. Hester when we had to "Sell Our Partner." We immediately decided to "sell" each other but deep in our hearts and minds, we knew Mrs. Hester wouldn't allow that. And she didn't!! Nonetheless, we still had to "Sell Our Partners." A young man in our class "sold" Christina and in part of his selling presentation, he said that she was newly engaged. Prior to that remark, she seemed a bit nervous but then, that humorous side of Christina came out. She so proudly held up her hand, turning it and shaking it so that we could see the most beautiful diamond and ruby engagement ring. She was proud and extremely happy to be Chad's fiance. I'm going to miss her so very much and I have dedicated this quarter of my studies at Savannah Technical College to the memory of Christina Harshman, a wonderful young lady who has gone before me to prepare for our reunion in heaven. God will keep you safe in his care. Trust in what you know that he can and will do for you. Phillipians 4:13 says, "I can do all things through Christ because he gives me strength." Try God and see if he won't do "...exceedingly abundantly all that we ask or think..." (Ephesians 3:20) You are in my prayers.

I went to Memorial Day School with Christina and heard the shocking news from a friend who goes to college with me in Athens tonight. I am sorry for her parents and have sympathy. Although I did not know her in high school, I am sure she was a fine young lady because of her happy and pleasant personality in grade school. If I can do anything, please email me.I am sorry for your loss. Sincerely,

I miss my little cousin Christina sooo much. Her pretty dimpled smile and sarcastic remarks I will miss too. There will always be a very special place in my heart for you. You are in GOD's hands now and we will be with you again one day.

Fly, fly little wing
Fly beyond imagining
The softest cloud, the whitest dove
Upon the wind of heaven's love
Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours
Escape the sorrow and the pain
And fly again
Fly, fly precious one
Your endless journey has begun
Take your gentle happiness
Far too beautiful for this
Cross over to the other shore
There is peace forevermore
But hold this mem'ry bittersweet
Until we meet
Fly, fly do not fear
Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear
Your heart is pure, your soul is free
Be on your way, don't wait for me
Above the universe you'll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise, the sun will set
I won't forget
Fly, fly little wing
Fly where only angels sing
Fly away, the time is right
Go now, find the light

I am still in shock which almost seems like disbelief that anyone so young has to die. I knew Christina only a short while in a Savannah Arts Academy gym class in my freshman year,and throughout the hallways my sophmore year. Even being two years ahead of me in school Christina was never anything less than kind to me. My heart and my prayers go out to both Christina
and Chad's family,may you all meet again someday.

Brittany and Mr. and Mrs. Harshman,
I am so very sorry about your loss. I can't imagine what it is like to lose someone so young and so suddenly, but my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Brittany, since I have known you you have always been energetic, happy and positive. Although it will take time, those qualities are going to help you get through this. Rely upon your friends, family and teachers for support. I'll see you upon your return to school.

Christina,
I'll never forget the fun we had in high school at Savannah Arts Academy. I'll never forget the hugs you gave me everyday. I'll never forget the conversations we had in Mr. Tassey's class (even though I wasn't supposed to be there). But most of all, I'll never forget your smile. You could make everything better in the world, all you had to do was smile. I love you Christina, and I will never forget you.

Dear Family,
I am truly sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter.She was a wonderful and beautiful young lady.Ya'll may not remember me but I went to Jacob G. Smith with Brittany. We were best of friends then we went to differnt schools and we havent heard much of each other since.I didnt know Christina personally but Brittany talked about her so I feel like I know her. My mom lost a brother when she was younger and it stil affects her today so I know that it must be hard to have lost a loved one. Especially one as precious as Christina.I cant even imagine the pain and I am very sorry. I just want ya'll to remember that Jesus Loves Ya'll and he will always be with ya'll through everything. She will now be in a better place then where she was. She is still with ya'll spiritually. She will be truly missed.

To the family and friends of Chad and Christina
I do not know you, but my heart is broken for you. As I witnessed a small group of young people surrounding the tree on Johnny Mercer the day after the accident placing crosses there, I became tearful. I will pray for you all, since I know the grief must be nearly impossible to bear. God will give you the strength to go on.

I'll always remember you as the big sister to Brittany... and Brandyn. You reminded me of me when Brandyn's mom was a kid and I was the older sister. I remember telling your sister you weren't mean, you were just being the big sister, that teasing her was your job.

We'll always remember the pretty little girl, sitting on her big stuffed dog with her beautiful smile. She walks with the lord smiling forever in haven. We love you always.
