Dear Lisa, Loren & family,
Words are so weak - I can't even begin to comprehend the magnitude of your loss - I think of how much it hurts me to miss his sweet face and silly smile at work and even if I multiplied that by a million, it wouldn't come close to the way you must feel. When I think of Chris I can't help but smile, that is the effect he had on everyone who had the honor and pure pleasure of knowing him! He was a bright spot in my day and someone I always looked forward to seeing and talking to. Honestly, I can still feel his presence around me. He loved all of you more than you know and it showed in the things he said and did! You raised a wonderful son and I am so sorry he was taken from this life so early. By having touched our lives, he is part of all of us and we will hold him in our hearts forever! And while words are truly weak, thoughts and prayers are very powerful - ours are with you every day. With love and deepest sympathy.

Lisa,
Our thoughts and prayers go out to your and your family at this incredibly sad time in your lives.
It's clear that you and your husband raised a wonderful son who was taken all too soon.
However, at this difficult time you should take comfort in the fact that he was so loved as is shown by all the people who have signed this book.
Please know all us "repeat offenders" at the Wolf Den have been thinking ALOT about you!!!
Love,

I dont know where to start, Chris was such an awsome person who was just so fun to be around.. when you wanted to be mad at him he would always do something to make you smle... Like when He made me cry the week of prom because he wanted to wear that stupid wig lol or take his fishing pole so he could go fishing, I just could never stay mad at him! Chris you will ALWAYS be in my heart..... I Love you chris, I will see you again some day!!!

Chris, we were friends for about four months but it seemed like we had known each other for years. My mother always told me about you before we met. She would tell me how much you reminded her of my brother and I. Once I met you I found out she was right on. We connected like good friends do. You were by far one of the coolest, kindest, and most genuine dudes I have ever had the honor of calling my friend. I am going to miss working with you, I am going to miss going out with the crew after work, I am going to miss seeing you and Jen front row and center at my shows, and I am going to miss you asking what bar I was in just so you could prank call me and then see what time I wanted to get lunch. (I'M NOT GETTING LOUD!!!) I am in a lot of pain over your loss, yet I have known you for such a short period of time. I cannot even imagine the pain your family and close friends are feeling right now. I am very sad you're gone, but at the same time I am happy. I am happy that I got to become your friend before you were taken away from us all. I know you would want everyone to move on quickly so that's what we are going to try to do. This will not exclude the fact that you will forever be in my thoughts and prayers; and you will ALWAYS be my friend. I miss you so much and so does everyone else. Love ya buddy!

May god be with you all.

Dear Lisa and family,
My heart is so heavy knowing that you are hurting so much. I don't know what the right words are so I will try to write what I do know. I know that Chris touched so many lives in a such a wonderful & happy way - including mine. I've heard so many people say that over and over these past few days at Mohegan Sun and the outpouring of love for him and to all of you is as sincere as it can be. Personally, I thought Chris was a proud young man and I feel honored to have known him. Lisa, you are one of the best Mother's I know and I know that if you could trade places with him you would. If I could bring him back for you, I would. I do believe in God and I do believe Chris is an angel who will shine down upon us all and watch over his family. He will always be in our hearts but especially yours. My love and prayers go out to all of your family.

The first time I had the pleasure of meeting Chris was in the Icu waiting room when Mike was in his coma. I had always heard his name mentioned by my son Derrick. He introduced himself to me, and seemed to be a polite young man. I liked him immediately. Since then, we shared many conversations when he came over our house. He was never too busy to share his latest aspirations with me. I will miss his infectious smile and kind mannerisms.
WE all share a tremendous LOSS. A parent's worst nightmare! My prayers are with you and your family.
God Bless You.

There will never ever be anybody else like Chris. I will never forget him and they way he made me smile every time I saw him. Chris and I hadn't spoken in a while, we unfortunately lost touch for longer than we should have. But that does not change they way he made me feel when we use to spend every day together. May this remind everyone to never keep telling themselves "i'll call tomorrow", because tomorrow may never come, and you don't want to know what it feels like to know you are just too late.
I'll always love you Chris.

Dear Lisa and Family,
Im truely sorry for your loss, my heart goes out to you. My husband and I use to live at 8 fairground circle. My husband and I would take walks around the block with are son Justin and If Chris was out he would wave to us and say hello. chris was very friendly and nice. Couple of years later he started working at mohegan sun were my husband and I work. Chris was very funny, very positive, helpful and joy to be around. We will miss him very much.

My thoughts are with you. I met Chris through my daughter and he was one of the most polite and friendly boys I met. Even 6 years later when seeing him he always went out of his way to say hi and chat. I know he will be missed by many.

You all know Chris was like my little brother, and it is so heart breaking to know he is gone, but I think the pain everyone feels is worse. Please know if any of you need ANYTHING call me.
I will always remember Chris with his goofy I'm up to something smile, and always trying to be like Bobby. He was always happy, and I am sure that came from having such a wonderful family, and always saw the good in everyone and every situation.
Im sure he will be watching all of us and telling us we will all be ok. It is one of the hardest things to lose someone you love, But I know he is with Pop's probably telling each other stories.
Try to stay strong as a family and remember we will all see Chris again someday.
I love you all very much and wish you all strength and courage in this tragedy. love Jenni

LISA, LOREN AND FAMILY,
THE GIFT OF HAVING A SON LIKE CHRIS WAS TRULY SHORT LIVED PLEASURE. CHRIS WAS A WONDERFUL YOUNG MAN, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO KNOW CHRIS BY WORKING WITH HIM AT MOHEGAN SUN HE WAS HARD WORKING, CARING AND A JOY TO BE AROUND, I HAVE TWO BOYS APPROXIMATELY HIS AGE HE WOULD ALWAYS REMEMBER TO ASK ME ABOUT MY FAMILY AND BE WILLING TO SHARE STORIES OF HIS OWN, HE WAS PROUD OF WHO HE WAS AND LOVED HIS FAMILY HE LOVED YOU LISA AND GAVE YOU CREDIT FOR THE YOUNG MAN HE IS! I HOPE YOUR MEMORIES OF HIM CAN COMFORT YOU AT SUCH DEVASTATING TIME FOR ALL HE WAS SPECIAL AND I FEEL SPECIAL TO HAVE KNOWN HIM.

Loren, Lisa, & family, Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time. We watched Chris grow up with Allison since they were babies. He always had that cheerful smile when he was little and whenever he would hang out at the B&M Garage with Jeff, that smile was there. My memory of Chris will always be how he would always call Allison, (Alice) when they were little. I would always joke with him about that when I would see him. He was very respectful, had a great sense of humor and always talked about his family. He will be greatly missed.

My Mom called me last night to give me this sad news. I did not have the opportunity to meet Chris or his siblings. However, me deepest sympathies go out to his family, all my cousins and Aunt Irene. It is a long distance from California to Connecticut and I know our paths didn't cross in life that often, but this is a pain we all feel so deeply. It is a fear we all have when our children are away from us, as my 18 year old son is away now in Montana. I know we share the faith that our God is a good God and I know our paths will meet again.
Sending my deepest sympathies, love and support, your cousin Lauren

I allways would tell him to go home and tell his mom how pretty his nose was i love that kid!! Lisa you were his heart he loved his mom!! He was the first one to admit he is a mommy's boy all over!! Thank- you for Chris what a sweetheart!!!

I am truly sorry about your loss. I cannot even imagine the pain you must feel; my prayers are with you.
I want to leave a memory I have of Christopher with you. He was about 10 years old and his love for nature must have started at a young age! I stopped by Gram and Gramp's house to visit and he was there with Eric. They wanted to go to the creek down the road so I drove them there. Being his older cousin it was fun to be able to do that for him. He will be missed.

Chris was so full of live, laughter and so free spirited! He became part of our lives very quickly when he and Josh began to hang out. I will always remember his laugh, his love for homemade cookies and his constant energy and his sincere love for his friends and family. He cared whole heartedly for you all! He will be missed. I am so sorry for the void he is leaving all who loved and cared for him. There are NO words that can comfort you at this time, but someday you may want to pick up the phone and just talk. My phone and shoulder will be there for you.
May God Bless you all;

You were the best friend a guy could have, you were my first real friend and I can't imagine what my life would have been like without you, all I know is that it would have been a lot less fun and I would have had a lot of awful summers without you. You've been my friend since birth and I will never forget the years of hilarious memories of sleepovers at your grandparents and building stuff in the woods in the backyard. I miss you more than anything buddy.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Chris, you were an absolutely amazing person and you made every dau spent with you amazing. We had so many good times together. Remember our Christmas at Dukes with the white tree with the bows and a skull on top. We exchanged our own presents. That was so funny and so much fun. The circumstances are unfortunate but you got the crew back together like you always said you wanted to. I love you and will think about you every day

Cliffy knew Chris since they met in school when they were 5. They along with other friends would hang out riding their bikes, getting a baseball or basketball game going, or their favorite, wait till it was dark and play Man hunt. If it was to bad to hang outside, they loved to play video games. Cliffy loved hunging out at Chris' house, almost lived there on the weekends. Cliffy shared his love of fishing with Chris also and many times, they would be ready to go out first thing on the 1st day of fishing season with his dad, Mr. Waggoner.
My heart breaks as i know how Lisa's is right now. Only as a mother could feel. With the bond of our son's friendship, bonds us, the mothers!
WE WILL MISS YOU CHRIS!!!
