Sweetheart, you are loved and missed every second of every day! I have no words that can say how I wish you were here. You were changing into a wonderful son. When your estranged wife Tina left you alone when you needed someone that was the best thing that could have happened. I’m sorry that your life here wasn’t better. I love and miss you ever second of everyday. Be at peace my son. Momma loves you so much!

The days will always be brighter because he existed.
The nights will always be darker because he's gone. And no matter what
anybody says about grief and about time healing all wounds, the truth
is: there are certain sorrows that never fade away until the heart stops
beating and the last breath is taken.
Today 7 yrs. ago...our son left this earth. We love and miss him so much. Chris Cottingham 12/29/73-10/09/08

Dad and I love and miss you so much!

I met Chris at a friends house for the first time as an adult. I had known him when he was a child, but now he was a man, very good looking and a great personality. Im saddened that as adults we didnt really no each other. God Bless Chris and his family, his spirit is always near.

Dad and I have missed you so much. Still don't know why this had to happen. I am very selfish, because I would rather have you here with me instead of you being gone. I don't think I will rather except what has happened. If you are with G-Pa tell him how much he is loved and missed. Happy Birthday to my wonderful son! We will love and miss you till the day we die!

A Fishing day with Dad and Chris

December 29, 2011

A few weeks before Chris died, dad and him went fishing at the rock quarry.  Chris was so happy that he was bouncing around the house like a little boy.  He always loved his fishing and camping trips with dad.  He hadn't been for quite awhile.  I stayed home and let them have some private time together.  When they got back I went to the back door and Chris got out of the truck and said.."Hi, Momma!" in a very loud and deep voice.  Then he asked.."Did you miss me?"  Without giving me time to answer...he said, "I bet ya did!"  I know he was an adult, but in my heart and in my mind I seen him once again as I did so many years ago when he was just a child so excited about what another day was going to bring.  Him and dad came in and he couldn't wait to sit me down and start telling me all about their fishing trip.  Chris would never greet me without putting his arms around me and kissing me on the cheek and telling me how much he loved me.  I know that his fishing trips are over in this life, but hope that wherever he is now that he is fishing with his g-pa Bud,(my daddy) talking about everything that made them happy in life.  Maybe they will bring up my name every now and again and remember me as I remember them.  I love you my son and Happy Birthday today.  Love your momma
