But if I could bring you back and tell you just one thing it would be...I Love You! You'll never be forgotten bubba i'll make sure of it. Keep this family safe and look over all of us.
Love Your Baby Sister,
Anna

GOD HAS CALLED AN ANGEL

God has called another Angel unto him this day,

With His loving hand outstreched to lead him along the way.

Little Christopher will no more shed a single tear,

For he is with dear Jesus now,
He will always be near.

We do not understand at all why this has to be,

But Jesus said when we meet Him
then we all shall see.

Little Son, Brother and Friend
is in loving care,

The memory of him will linger on
and this too, we'll share.

So with the twinkle of each star
that we see above,

Christopher will be smiling and sending us his love.

Another Angel sings a song of
Glory to our God,

And steps along the path way where other Angles trod.
