I never actually knew Chris personally except a few times during work. But seems to me he was a very popular person/supervisor and am amazed by the show of love throughout the plant. As I look at his friends & family and employees he must have touched alot of hearts. Prayers go out to you all during these trying times.

You all know where I am coming from when I say this is something that hits home with me. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Burks family. Hold on to each other for strength and don't hesitate to lean on all who are with you. Chris always looked to make people smile with his humor. Always remember that. I certainly will.

To the Burks and Smith family: I am so very sorry for your loss.
Chris was a great individual who took pride in what he did. He loved his baby girls, playing in bands, and living life to the fullest. Chris was a great friend and co-worker and full of life, he will forever be missed!

Thanksgiving Grief Poem
The time draws near
And the calendar says
Thanksgiving is really here.
Time to reflect and time to gather
Thoughts of what to be thankful of.
Thankful? I think not.
My life is not full these days
And to be thankful is beyond my grasp.
But to give thanks? This, I believe, can be done.
Searching my soul deep within
Reasons to give thanks surface to the edge
Yes, I give thanks
For the memories of yesterdays,
The love, the laughter, the joy of each day when Christopher was with us
The trials & tribulations of being an active parent,
The rewards & the challenges of raising a child,
The days of blissful ignorance when I thought tragedy would never visit our home,
The days when life was normal, even though I took it all for granted.
For the treasures of todays,
The sunrise, sunset, the changing of the seasons,
The new found friends along this journey I reluctantly travel
The tried & true friends who stand by me still,
The strong and everlasting love of my husband
The warmth of wet kisses from my canine companion & feline friend,
The encouragement & support, compassion & caring I give & receive as
I survive and help others survive.
For the hopes and possibilites of a peaceful tomorrow,
With faith, love, & perseverance as I struggle to move on
With Christopher in my heart forevermore, spiritually guiding me with his new presence,
With sorrow and reluctance, each new day,
To yet, somehow, be open and loving,
Not to forsake what I've learned Because of what I've lost.
You see, it's not about keeping up with the Jones' having an SUV or two in the garage, having the largest beanie baby collection having so many CD's, video games, or the newest, most improved, latest and greatest new gadgets, not even being up to date with state of the art technology -
It's about love - it's about the gifts of yesterday, blended with the blessings of today to make meaning for tomorrow.
"May time and love bring you all peace throughtout this Holiday Season! Especially, to the Burks Family"
Respectfully,
Sonya Lyn Morris
