Oh, Chris...
This notification came across my email this morning and I can hardly believe it’s been 5 years. It saddens me to think how your family has missed you and how it must seem to them like eternity since your passing. Crazy how life has to go on that way. Today, however, I celebrate the little time I got to know you... your brilliance, your quirky sense of humor, your innocence, just you! I know you are in a better place... in God’s embrace... that is truly enough reason to celebrate. God bless, Chris...

A brighter, intelligent, creative soul, I shall never meet again. I have been made a better person by knowing him. My thoughts and prayers to his caring loving family, I consider, still a part.

When my mind wanders back to yesterday believe me the memories bring tears to my eyes, but pride in my heart, because I am your father. How funny,sweet and loving you were.

My family was so sorry to hear of Christopher's passing. We have such fond memories of Chris while my children were attending Heritage Hall. Chris had such a brilliant mind for such a young soul. We remember his first "win" as a Charger Wrestler and the pure joy that moment brought him. We can hardly imagine your grief at this time. Please know we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

No words can explain the way my heart breaks for your family. You and Tina will cling to each other till you can find the coping skills to accept the loss. I can share that it is a slow process to heal but in time you will. Christopher would want his parents to be happy and would want you and Tina to have each other. Take care of yourself so you can be there for the others in your family.

Poem - When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
February 3, 2013
When tomorrow starts without me
And I'm not there to see,
If the sun should rise
and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready,
In heaven above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye
For all my life,
I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
So much left yet to do,
It almost seemed surreal,
That I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for a while,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked and smiled at me,
From God's great loving home,
God said, "This is eternity,
And all I've promised you."
Today your life on earth is past,
But here life starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
And since each day's
the same loving way
There's no longing for the past.
You have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true.
Though there were times
You did some things
You knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven
And now at last you're free.
So won't you come and take my hand
And share My life with me?"
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.
