Chris, I'm so sorry I missed all these years that we lost touch. I always thought in the end we'd end up right back where we started. If I had known this would have been the outcome, I would have held on a little tighter, laughed a little longer, and never missed a day. I missed too many signs you were trying to show me, and I'm sorry for that too. But now that I know, I promise I'l never leave again. And when you're looking down on all of us who love you, and miss you, know that the daisies will be from me. I miss you so much =(

Chris. I miss you so much and even though you are gone, you will always be in my heart and all those whose lives you've touched with your beautiful smile and your amazing presence. Your beautiful sisters, mom, dad and family carry on your memory so well that its almost like you're still here. We talk about you all the time and you are for sure one of the most beautiful people I have ever known.
The LORD replied, my precious child, I Love you and I would never leave you! During your times of trial and suffering when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.
Love Always,
Daniele

Christopher was one of the brightest flames. He had so much energy and enthusiasm for the things he enjoyed. He loved his family and through out his time on earth he tried in his way to reach out and stay close to them. His sense of humor and joy for living brought many special moments to those who knew him well. He was a thoughtful person of extreme intelligence. We will remember the joy and life that burned so brightly from his spirit and hope that he has peace and love everlasting.

I've been thinking about you a lot lately. How much I miss having you around, all the good times we had together. I swear I still see you places, and for that moment I forget that you are gone. Then all the sudden it hits me like a ton of bricks...Life just isnt the same without you here... no one to call at 4 am, no one to go fishing with or drive around with all hours of the night.. no one to jus sit and talk to.. and so much more. I don't think you could ever know how much i miss having you around.. miss you and love you

I can't believe it has been a year. I re read all the letters that you used to write to me wishing that you were here telling me to my face.
In heaven, I know your at peace, looking down on all these people that love and miss you. Watching over your family as they dream of you at night. As, you look down on all of us.. know that all of us are looking up at you, waiting for the day that we will see your sweet face again. To have many more memories and reminise on all the memroies already shared.
There are so many people that care about you, so many more that you ever knew, and even in death no one has forgotten how much they love you. They can have money, cars, all the riches in the world, but that never will last... the only thing that still lasts even in death is love... I love you Chris, and it will last forvever
May 22, 2008
Dear Christopher,
It's been a long year since you left. There is a great empty space in my life. How I miss your phone calls and all the things we did together. My wish is that you are finally at peace and reunited with Grandpa. I think of you every day, miss you terribly and love you always.

Chris,
I think about you all the time... I find myself driving by the places we always used to go.. over and over I replay our memories together as if they were yesterday.. and I times I still expect to see you. You would be amazed to know that I'm due to have a little baby boy in July.. his name is going to be Joseph James.. James after your middle name... I wish you were here to see him. I miss you Chris, everyday I think of you, but I know your in a better place, with so much love surrounding you in heaven and on earth, and I cant wait to see you again..

Dear Chris, my loving grandson, you are in my thoughts always. Last night I was at the worldwide candle lighting here in Arizona with the Compassionate Friends Group, it was a beautiful night filled with music and the friends that I have made who have also experienced the loss of a child, grandchild,or sibling. WE all miss you, Nana Mary, Manfred, all your uncles, aunts, cousins, parents, grandparents and all who love you. I pray for PEACE for all.

On a stormy Monday December 5, 1983, twenty-four years ago, you, Christopher James Brogna chose to come into this world. "Monday's Child is Fair of Face". Oh what a joy it was to meet you, our first grandchild, Grandpa's and mine. When you were just 17, you lost your close friend and mentor, Grandpa. Then, almost six and a half years after that loss, you reunited with Grandpa. Such happiness for you but such a loss for me, your mother, sisters and friends. Chris, I hope you have now found things that escaped you in life, complete peace and happiness. I will love you and think of you always and forever.

You stay a constant on my mind, the good times the rough times what we got through together, i miss that face, that smile. you always used to make me laugh, made me forget that I had worries, and we used to drive, just drive and go where the road took us, 4am, 5 am, 6am... we didnt care, we just lived in the moment... i still wish you were here.. I love you and miss you

Chris my dearest cousin whom I barely had the opportunity of knowing, but having met you at my sister's wedding, we spoke candidly from our hearts. That left a deep impression upon me that I'll carry for a lifetime. Until we meet again, keep good company with the Brogna's who have crossed over to heaven above.
