Wow, it's coming up on 5 years since you left us. I still can't think of you without crying. This time of year is tough on all who loves you, please watch over from Heaven. Let your mama and daddy know you are always with them. I love you Christopher. Until we meet again, Aunt Steph

Happy Birthday Christopher!! Today you would have been 19 years old! I wish you were here to help you celebrate. I love you and miss you so much and still can't believe that you are no longer here with us. It's really hard to understand and all I can do is ask "Why?" We will again release balloons in the air, 19, this year and I hope you'll be able to see them in heaven. They will be flying up to you, catch one if you can. I know that your great grandpa, Aunt Liz and Jesus will be helping you celebrate your birthday in heaven and I know it will be a blessed and sweet one. Just remember, that you will never be forgotten, I will keep your memory alive for as long as I live, you were very special to me and you still are. You were a wonderful grandson! I love you Christopher. Happy Birthday!

Christopher, yesterday was your birthday and I was going to go to the cemetery. Then I realized that I didn't have to go anywhere to "visit" with you because you are in my heart always. So I sat on my patio instead watching the butterflies dance among the flowers and sang happy birthday. I chatted with you as if you were sitting beside me and told you all about Kyle and Cassie and what's new with them. I pray that when Kyle goes off to boot camp in September and then God knows where, that you watch over your cousin for me. Miss you lots and love you more than any words could ever express.

Happy Birthday Christopher. I love you and miss you. You would have been 17 years old today. Your Mom, Trevor, Grandpa, and I, went to your gravesite Sunday July 22,2012 and released 17 balloons into the air. We watched them fly up to heaven, we watched them until we couldn't see them any more. I hope you saw them too!! It really hurts that your not here, it hurts so awful much but I'll see you again some sweet day, I know I will!!! Happy Birthday 'MY Sweet Prince!'

Christopher, I'm sitting here crying. I just don't understand what happen to you. This is so hard for me, and I wish so much you were here. My life feels so empty without you, I wish so much you could come back. This is so hard Christopher, what happened to you, where are you??? I want you here, I miss you so much and I love you with all my heart. I'll see you again some sweet day. Rest in Peace, my Sweet Prince!! I love you Christopher!!!

Its 1:30 in the morning and all i can do is think about you. You were my first born son, i know i was young when you born, and couldn't do the things an adult twice my age could do. but you were my baby, and i gave you all my love.i was discharged from the hospital before you, when me and grandma came up to see you that night, you were the most beautiful thing i had ever seen.i promised to you i would try to be the best mom in the world.i know i made alot of mistakes along the way, but you were the love of my life. i remember when you were little we had this little thing we would say to each other i would say I love you, and you would say I love you to moma, and i would say how much does moma love you and you would say to INFINITY... how true that is... i miss you, baby, and love you so much. love, Moma

Today is your birthday, July 24, 2011. You would have been 16 years old.We are all going to gather at your grave today and release 16 balloons into the air. It is such a sad day for all of us because you are not here and it really hurts a lot. Some things we will never understand or ever have the answer to. Life sometimes just doesn't seem fair.I just wanted you to know that I love you dearly and miss you so, so much. Happy birthday Christopher!! I hope you knew how loved you were by so many people and how missed and empty it is today here without you. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Love, Grandma and Grandpa

Dear Christopher,
It was 5 months ago today that you quietly and unexpectedly left this earth. Five months, has done nothing to ease the pain and suffering of losing such a wonderful and gentle soul as you my dear Christopher. You are so missed by me, your grandpa, your mom, Tyler, Kaitlyn, William, Heather, Anthony, Joey and all your aunts and uncles. How I would love to look at your sweet and handsome face once again and feel the love and pride I have for you and even though I cannot have that privilege , I still feel the love and pride, that will never fade away. I know that you are now in heaven and I know that you are happy and in peace. I just wish you could have stayed here for at least another 50 years or so, but God had different plans for you. Oh, how I do miss you and my tears flow freely. I will see you again one day. "I LOVE YOU CHRISTOPHER!!"
Love,
Grandma

Do not stand at my grave and weep. Iam not there. i do not sleep. i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glint on snow.i am the sunlight on riped grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.when you wake in the morning hush,i am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circling flight.i am the soft star light at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. i am not there. I did not die. do not stand at my grave and weep.i am not there. i do not sleep.

"A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its glory
and beauty belong to our world
But then it flies again
And though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it."

Your loss is still so deeply felt my sweet nephew. It's still so hard to let go of all the anger for the time we werent allowed to have with you, but I'm trying. I remember when you were little, and you and Kyle would play together. The smiles on your faces, the light in your eyes. I imagine that's the look on your face in Heaven. Pure happiness and joy. I sit on my patio and watch the butterflies flit around...so carefree and beautiful, and think of you in God's garden doing the same. I love and miss you Christopher. Aunt Steph

I never knew you that much but Kaitlyn tells me everything. she says your a great cousin and how when she was over at your mom's how to three would all go in the car at night and drive around with our heads hanging out the car windows, she tells me how she would always call "Shotgun." when you were over. she feels bad about that. I wish you have a new adventure. We all miss you and hope your having a great new life in heaven.

Well Inever really knew you but i wish i did. From what kaitlyn tells me you are a great cousin and a great friend. I bet you are. She says all the time how caring you were towards your family. She always tell the same story over and over about when you two were with her Aunt Kelly, and how your mom would drive you two around just to feel the wind in your face. This whole thing with you leaving has been really hard on her and her mom. I bet that when ever kaitlyn was over you had a wonderful time. I wish i could of been there. She talks about you alot and i wonder how it may feel to loose a great cousin like you.

Christopher, Grandma and Grandpa love and miss you so very much. Not having you here is hard to bear but we will be together again one day. I have prayed for Jesus to take you in his arms and let you feel his love, warmth and peace. I know you are there, because your great grandpa sent a message that you were there with him and you were fine and happy. We love you Christopher and we'll see you again some day. You were our greatest joy and you still are.

Chris. This is so unreal. I love and miss you so much, and I`m so sorry... I just want you to come back to life, so I can talk to you, and maybe even see you.. so many times, I find myself just breaking down out of nowhere, because I know I`ll never find a guy like you again. You gave me that unconditional love I swear I have never seen in a guy before. I miss that SO much. I have so much to say, but I just want to keep it short. I really hope I can see you after death one day hun. There`s nothing more I want...
God bless you Chris. <3

Don't think of him as gone away-
his journey's just begun,
Life holds so many facets-
this earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days or years.
Think how he must be wishing that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched...
for nothing loved is ever lost-
and he was loved so much.
