May you shine in peace christopher as you are and always was an angel of god. May you rest comfortably now your suffering is over and do all the things teenagers enjoy.

Dearest Shelly, Michael, and Nicholas - I am the nutritionist who used to see Chris through Early Intervention. He was just a baby when I saw him. I saw lots and lots of children and families in my many years with Early Intervention. YOU all however were special and one of the families who stayed with me, you remained in my heart and soul over all these years. Shelly you and I talked about making his tube feedings from "scratch" and you did it ! Your resilience was amazing and oh so inspiring. If your family touched my heart that many years ago and stayed with me for all these years I would say the effect that Christopher had on this world with all the people he knew has multiplied many many many times over. For that we thank you. The world is truly a better place because of how your family has touched our lives. I mean that from the bottom of my heart. Peace.

I would like to send my condolences to Shelly and Mike and big brother, too.
Chris was a wonderful boy who brought life into our lives every time his class would go by. He was one in a million and will be sorely missed.
To his family, I was always amazed at how together you were. You were there for Chris every step of the way. Always with a smile and kind words when you would come in to Wood Road.
I will miss him terribly.
