Hi Christopher! My goodness, it has been 7 years. You are still very much in my thoughts. I had a very vivid dream last night with you and Ashley in it. Just wanted to share that with you. I woke up feeling like I had spent some time with you again :)
Miss you always! I hope you are having fun with Hal up there.
Lots of love,
Amanda

I still can't believe it. Chris was such a great guy. I remember how much he used to make us laugh in Physical Science class. I still think of him from time to time and I know that he is in a place where he can watch over all of his friends and family and we will all get to see him again one day. My thoughts and prayers are with you always.

I woke up the other day thinking about the grin that Chris always had. I cannot believe it has been 2 years since he has been gone. I hope his family is at peace with his passing and know that at least heaven has a true comedian who is keeping them laughig every single day. Anyone who knew him, knew what a comedian he always was, even in his darkest times. He had a smirk of a smile that I will always remember and cherish.



My prayers are always with you and I know that Chris is watching over all his family and friends.

ZipI was so sorry to read about your son's passing. It is a shame that any life is cut so short. My thoughts are with you and your family. My family lost my older brother before his time and I know we have all been affected greatly by his passing, but we survive - as will you and your family, just with a different reality. Again, my thoughts are with you and your family. Things ease with time and he will always be with you in heart.

To My Sweet,Dear Friend Chris,

I wish you could know how much your friendship and kindness meant to me. You are a wonderful and sweet, funny young man. Thank you for trying to make my heart hurt less about my fears of being a less than desirable mother during our time at treatment. I love you.

P.S. I really did like reading the Big Book with you too.

To the Family of Christopher William Zipperer....I was so sorry to hear the news. I know how your hearts must ache. I have a 20 year old son also named Christopher. My husband, Glenn (who died last year)and John were good friends. I know that Glenn is in heaven and was probably there to welcome your Christopher. I will keep you in my prayers.

I am so sorry for your loss. I never got to know Chris too well, but I do remember the fun times that we all had together at one point in our lives. Please know that my prayers and thoughts are with you and with Chris.

Linda Zipperer

October 27, 2002

John, Roberta and Ashley,

I cannot begin to express the depth of my sympathy. Nor my sadness. Though I never got to be as close as I would have liked, I love Christopher deeply. That goes for you too Ashley. I still remember the trip to Tallahassee when he was born. I have a photo taken that day of me holding him. It was when holding Christopher that it hit me in my heart that I would never have children. I had not thought about it in that respect before that day.

I know there are no words that will take away the hurt. Just know that I am here if you need me. I do understand your pain.

Love, Linda Gail

YOU WERE THE BEST COUSIN THAT ANYONE COULD HAVE ASKED FOR. YOU NEVER THOUGHT TWICE ABOUT HELPING ANYONE AND WERE ALWAYS THE FIRST IN LINE TO HELP YOUR FRIENS AND FAMILY. I AM SO HAPPY THAT YOU ARE IN A BETTER PLACE AND WITH "GANU" AND GRANDPA. WOW YOU MUST HAVE MET ALL OF OUR FAMILY THAT WE NEVER GOT TO MEET HERE. YOU TOUCHED EVERY PERSON THAT YOU CAME IN CONTACT WITH SO MUCH, AND EVERYBODY THAT KNOWS YOU LOVES YOU. YOU WOULD NEVER HAVE BELIEVED ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT CAME TO THE FUNERAL. YOU ARE A "GIFT FROM GOD" AND NOW YOU ARE WITH HIM IN THE BEST PLACE EVER. I WISH YOU THE BEST, BUT THAT IS BECAUSE YOU ARE THE BEST. I HAVE SO MUCH MORE TO SAY TO YOU, BUT AS YOU KNOW WE TALK EVERYDAY ANYWAY. THANK YOU FOR THE "SIGNS" TO LET ME KNOW THAT YOU ARE ALRIGHT. SO FAR I HAVE GOTTEN ALL 5 OF THEM. YOU ARE THE BEST BUBBA EVER AND YOUR "MOMZ" AND "MISS A" ARE DOING OKAY AS YOU KNOW. YOUR DAD AND BARBARA ARE TOO. LINDA SANG BEAUTIFULLY AT THE CHURCH AND CEMETARY AS YOU KNOW. SHE SANG MOM'S RAINBOW GIRL SONG FOR YOU TOO AT THE CEMETARY. I LOVE YOU CHRISTOPHER WILLIAM ZIPPERER YOU WILL FOREVER BE IN MY HEART AND PRAYERS AND IN MY EVERYDAY THOUGHTS. SEE YOU IN HEAVEN "ZIP"

Dear John, Roberta, Ashley and Barbara



We are writing to tell you how sad we are that Christopher has gone from us. We can only imagine how much you will miss him. Please know we will miss him also.



We will always have fond memories of the times that he spent the night with Wilson and the good times they had playing and having fun. There was the one time when Christopher insisted on sleeping on the top bunk,with no guard rail in place. He rolled off during the night and Judy held him until he stopped crying. The next day we all laughed together knowing the only thing hurt was Christopher's pride.



There will never be another person like Christopher. He brought so much joy and happiness into our lives during the precious time we spent with him.



We will call in a day or two to see if there is anyway we can be of help. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.



Sincerely,

Patti Schuller

October 22, 2002

Just wanted to write you saying how sorry I am to hear about your loss. Chris was a good person, free spirited and fun loving all throughout the time that I knew him.. I went to school with Chris, and graduated in 1998 from Bishop Kenny, and while attending school there, I met and got to know Chris from a class or two that we had together.. He was a great person and fun to hang around.. So carefree.

I am sorry that you are having to go through this, and know that you are in my prayers..
