I am so sorry for your loss. I remember when Christopher was really young...he was always so polite to me and a really fun kid. Over the years I would see him periodically and he was always quick to say hello and just as polite as ever. Bless you all during this difficult time.

Chris you are my bestfriend. Mark and my son will always know you as his uncle Chris. You are my best friend. Im sitting here and I dont even know what to do with myself... I keep thinking to grab the phone and call you because you were always the one I ran to when my heart was broken so you could fix it... You loved me when I hated myself. I have been surrounded by death for what seems like forever, but never has it hurt so much. You had your rough edges, but you were my savior. When I was living in darkness you showed me light. You were my reason to go on living more often than not. You will live on in my heart until the day im by your side again.

As our grandson passes from this life to the next, He will never leave us for he will always be in our heart's and memories.Chris had a heart more precious than gold itself. It was so full of love for his family and friend's and he had so much love to give. You may be gone but you will never be forgotten. You will always be our precious Grandson. You will surley be missed and we will make sure that plot stays empty for you where your uncle Jr. is buried so you two can be close together like you wanted. We can only hope it happens like you wanted it to. Love you always: Memaw and Paw-Paw
