Chris and I sat by each other in a lot of classes throughout high school because our last names started with "H." He was a nice guy. I was so sorry about his death.Debbie Holland (Phillips)
From Chris's sister, Tonya:Dear Debbie, I was at moms today when your letter came, this is Tonya , Chris little sister, dont know if you remember me, but I was so thrilled to know that you all were going to honor the ones that have passed, this was a true shock to all of us, and still having a hard time, he was one crazy guy. I will be happy to try to find some pictures of Chris and his senior pic, it may take me a bit...since I just moved mom here about a year ago, and we just sold the house in Caruthersville, so things are still here and there..but I will get you some copies of pictures..I live here also, so I can just mail them to you or whatever you would like....Thanks so much, this really means alot to me...Tonya Hatch Wheeler

Chis Hatch was one of the dearest friends that I ever had. I do not have one childhood memory that does not include him. A long time ago Chris and I used to live next to the Methodist Church in Caruthersville. My family lived in an apartment above what used to be Johnny Mitchum's shoe store. Chris lived on the other side of the church behind Dairy Queen in a trailor. Every day we would meet at the front yard of the church. The custodian of the church at the time was Mr. Murray. I remember in the fall Mr. Murray would be trying to rake the leaves and Chris and I would constantly run through the piles of leaves undoing all Mr. Murray's hard work!! He would get his stick with a nail on the end and tell us he was going to "bumble bee" us if we did not stay out of his leaves. What a mistake that was!!! After that poor Mr. Murray never got any peace. Chris and I would be after him all the time to bumble bee us.Debbie Holland (Phillips)
From Chris's family:Time is too slow for those who wait,
too swift for those who fear,
too long for those who grieve,
too short for those who rejoice,
but for those who love - time is eternity.
We love and miss you so much.

Chris and I were very close friend in school. I had no idea that he was ill. We lived on the same street two houses apart and Nancy Champion lived on the end of the same street. Can you tell me how to get in touch with his parents. I would like to send them a letter. I am so sorry I did not know.Vicky Alston (Fairey)
Chris was a very sweet guy...he was always polite and very nice to me in school. I can remember one year in elementary school drawing names at Christmas and I got Chris's name....I remember getting him a little hand held "pinball machine" (the type where you pulled a plastic tab and the small bb like pellet went everywhere). He told me that he really liked it. To Tonya and the rest of Chris's family: He will always be in our hearts and you will be in our prayers.
