As a family we were deeply touched by your loss. Jimmy Roberts, my son, has known Chris for many years and kept saying "Why?". I had to explain I had no answers. I know Reba is a wonderful therapist since my office is next door. Loss is so different when its your own family. "God Bless You and keep you all and may His countenance shine upon you and give you Peace" (sabbath prayer)- - The Roberts Family.

I am deeply sad for your loss, and am thinking about you during this difficult time. You'll carry him with you through the rest of your life, and that is what you can hold on to. You can hold on to his goodness as he walks beside you now. The little memories that made your time together so special. You won't forget. There's not a day that goes by since my sister passed that i don't think about her. I know you won't forget. They inspire us to live better, be better people. God bless you.

I am very sorry for the loss of your son. I am in the same grade as him and know him enough to know he was a great person and always respected everyone in a great way. He now is a guardian angel in heaven looking down on all of us. We all can get this together but we will never forget Chris and he will always be in our hearts. Rest in peace.

He was the most determined and dedicated indidivual that I have ever met. He had a great sense of humor that made him such a well liked person. Being strong is dificult as the pain still feels unreal. My heart goes out to chris' parents as well as will. Chris, I considered one of my best friends. There were so many memories that just ended in a heart beat.

Dear Reusch Family,
I wasnt the best of friends with Chris but he was in my AP calculus and Psychology classes and I thought that he was a very nice person. He was a diligent student and was very smart. He was also a very talented football player. I want you to know that the funeral ceremony was very nice with all of his family and friends there. He was a very loved person and we will never forget him. My prayers go out to your family.

To the Reusch family,
Even though I was new to the school this year, and wasn't close with your son I met him and talked to him quite a few times and he was a complete sweetheart. He was too good for us down here, and none of us can wait till we get to see him again. God bless your family, all of our hearts go out to you.

Mr. & Mrs. Reusch,
My sons called me from college Sunday to tell me about the accident and what had happened to your son. They were shocked and upset that Chris had passed away. While they sympathized greatly with the driver, friends and family of all involved, their greatest concern was for brother William. Being a mother to twin boys myself, I cannot begin to imagine your grief. I am so sorry for your loss.
