Dan, Jonathan, Karen and David,
I was so saddened to hear of Chris's passing. There is no way for me to comprehend the depth of your pain and sadness that you are now experiencing.
At times like these, words seem so limiting in their attempts to express what the heart feels.
May the light of Chris's love, together with the love of your family and friends comfort you, support you and bring you healing energy.
Blessings and love be with you as you grieve your loss and celebrate the love you shared.
My heart grieves with you.

I'm so sorry to hear of Chris's passing. I grew up in South Berwick and went to Central School and the Junior High with the Brothers Blakeslee. I even rode the school bus with them and I'm heartbroken to imagine one less Blakeslee. Such a beautiful and creative family. I think of Tatnic often and fondly. Love Alexis and John Cook

Christopher was much too young to leave our world. There are no words for the tragic loss of your son; only our deepest sympathy and that we are truly sorry. He'll always remain in our thoughts as a young boy who once visited us with his father so very long ago - -

All 3 Blakeslee boys and I grew up together; first in NH then ME. We all played in David's music room as well as the great outdoors on their farm. Great memories that will be with me for the rest of my years. You will be remembered always, Christopher
