Many memories of Chris but the first camss the 4th grade when I met him. He was the most kindest person in the world. With many wrong turns in life Chris always found himself on top of the world. He will be sadly missed by us all.
Thank you Papa for Inspiring a life long love for quiet reflection in the morning, walks in the afternoon, and family dinners in the evening. I love you.
When tommrow starts without me
Please try to understand
That an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand
The angel said my place was ready, in heaven far above
And that I’d have to leave those I dearly loved
But when I walked thru heavens gates,I felt so at home
For God looked down and smiled and said WELCOME HOME
So when tommrow starts without me
Don’t think we’re far apart
For every time you think of me
I’m right there in your heart.
(Love Me)
You may not physically be here Dad, but you’ll always have a safe and special place in my heart. This isn’t easy for any of us but all of the beautiful words that we have shared ease the heartache a bit. You were so brave Dad. We are proud of you. We will all miss you. I love you so very much Dad.
Thank you for everything you have done for me Dad. You are my hero and helped me become the person I am today. I will not forget the passage you wrote for me when I left for my deployment, I look at it everyday. I love you and may you rest in peace.
