Chris is loved and missed by his family and all those he made laugh. His light will last in the
hearts of all those who met him.
As a little boy, Chris would come across something that interested him and he'd learn everything he
could about it. Insects, dinosaurs, mythology. A couple of his favorite cartoons: Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles and Tiny Toones. He drew thousands of pictures of every cartoon he saw.
He loved his guitar, was a very big WWF/WWE fan and had a very extensive music collection. He was
a wonderful artist. His humor was uniquely his own and his laughter was contagious.
He struggled to find his place in the world. He knew how to keep everyone else smiling, but didn't
know how to find happiness for himself.
We ask that while tears may flow over losing him, that he be remembered with laughter and smiles,
that is what he always wanted around him.
Please feel free to light a candle or leave a tribute/condolense, ty for coming by to meet my Chris.
My long lost angel, why did you go?
There's no answer, I may never know.
Smiling so bright, like white shiny gold.
Then you were laying there still and cold.
"God, please give her back, I need her here.
I will die here without her, I fear.
There's an emptiness deep in my soul.
With her gone, I'll never be whole."
This aching pain is so much to bear.
When I wake up and you are not there.
You were with me for just a short while.
I'll never forget your sweet little smile.
You staying here wasn't meant to be.
God needed an angel and gave you wings.
You'll always have a place in my heart.
When my time comes, we won't be apart.
My world is dark, no sun and no moon.
Wait for me angel, I'll be with you soon.

can’t comprehend just how sad you must feel
For the loss of someone you love.
This sorrowful time must still feel unreal
And you’re looking for strength from above.
I hope, from my heart, that your pain will decrease,
That your spirit will gain strength again,
And I pray that your faith will create inner peace
And that God will send blessings–Amen.
Till then, if you need me to lighten your load,
I’m waiting to come to your aid.
Just call on me, and I’ll walk down that road,
Until the dark times start to fall

A Beautiful Soring Angel
Dear Barb,
Your beautiful angel is soring above now at peace. May he forever shine his love down on you and let you feel his love surround you. He will be forever in your heart and may the beautiful memories of him bring you peace.
Dear Chris,
Forever show your mom signs that you are now OK and in God's loving arms. For when you see her again you will be healed and able to show her just how much she always means to you. You were in so much pain here that it often made it hard for you to express how much you appreciated her love and how much you loved her back. Now you have found that peace you were so longing for and now the pain is gone.
You are now free to show your love and shine it down upon your family and all that love and miss you dearly. Heaven is now blessed to have you as one of their angels along with my precious angel Jason.
God bless you and all your loving family.
With Love,
Donna

What a handsome young man.........gone too soon. So much of his story is my Dan's......so much talent and feeling from all our kids. I am so sorry your boy is gone Barb. I wish him peace.
Rest In Peace (((Christopher)))
Dear Barbara,
I just wanted to tell you what a handsome boy your son Christopher was. I can tell you are so proud of him and you have every right to be. I pray that he is in Heaven with my son, Raymond. And together they have found the Peace that they were looking for here.
God Bless You Both,
Your Friend,
Linda, Ray's Mom
Sometimes I sense a little flutter.
Like a shadow swiftly slipping by.
Or I hear a silent, gentle murmur.
Like a soft whisper from out the sky.
Sometimes... I hear you call my name,
Or clearly see your face before me.
And I feel that you are with me still.
Then peacefully... I come to know
As I am thinking happy thoughts of you
You, my son, are thinking of me too.
Loving memories fill my aching heart.
As dreaming dreams of what could be.
Or might have been, if you were here.
Until the piercing pain of losing you
Comes tumbling down on trembling fear.
And clearly once again I hear you say,
"But Mom…What if I had never been.
You could not then in LOVE remember me."
Miracles
Son we saw the Rainbow, horses and sunbeams you sent to us yesterday. What beautiful signs, such miracles. I haven't seen your face, heard your voice or looked you in the eyes for over a year now, oh how I miss you!! We let go yesterday, but that in no way means we let go of you from our hearts, we will always love you and think of you.
You were such a miracle and blessing in our lives, I only wish we could have kept you longer. Holding you tightly today and every day, my son, my love, my little Ris Ris.
Barb, this is a beautiful tribute to your wonderful son. I know you are especially missing him on his birthday today. I hope he stays close and lets his presence be known to you and his family. You aren't walking the day alone, I hope you can feel me at your side and my hand is held out - take it any time you need to. I know and understand the pain these special days bring to our broken Mother's hearts. God Bless. Love and hugs. Ladonna, Allen's Mom.
I'll always miss you. I know mom missed you extra on Mothers Day.I couldn't call her, I would have not been able to talk just CRY! I feel bad.I hope you were there for her more than ever on that day.

And make her laugh, ok? (as I can not)I beleive you are close and you will ALWAYS be alive to me. I LOVE YOU MY Best Friend , Brother and Pall.

Chris, Me and Cory were watching tht movie I talked to you earlier here 'Reaign on Me' with Adam Sandler. I told Cory He better physically be here for Me. Where oyu at?. I miss you!

Talk Laters
you will always be remembered
I find an old photograph
and see your smile.
As I feel your presence anew,
I am filled with warmth
and my heart remembers love.
I read an old card
sent years ago
during a time of turmoil and confusion.
The soothing words written then
still caress my spirit
and bring me peace.
I remember who you used to be
the laughter we shared
and wonder what you have become.
Where are you now,
Where did you go,
When the body is left behind
and the spirit is released to fly?
Perhaps you are the morning bird
singing joyfully at sunrise,
or the butterfly that dances
so carelessly on the breeze
or the rainbow of colours
that brightens a stormy sky
or the fingers of afternoon mist
delicately reaching over the mountains
or the final few rays of the setting sun
lighting up the skies
edging the clouds with a magical glow.
I miss your being
but I feel your presence,
In whatever form you choose to take,
however you now choose to be.
Your spirit has become for me
a guardian Angel on high
guiding, advising, and watching over me.
I remember you.
You are with me always
and I am not afraid.
