Chris,I was devastated when I heard you had passed from this Earth. It has been a few years since we last spoke because I guess life just kept us so busy. You are in such a better place, but this place is not better without you. I miss you so much!!! I have so many fond menories that it would take many pages on here to fill. Just know you are still in my heart dear friend and always will be.

Chris,You will be missed dearly. We all went our seperate ways and we have these class reunions to see all of our old friends. We will have a void at this years reunion without you, my dear friend. We had so many good times in school that I will never ever forget them. I think of you with a tear in one eye and a smile on my face. May you finally have peace and I hope you are getting to jam with your idol, Jimmy Hendrix! ha ha

Ahh Chris,There's a void in this world without you. Many of our lives have been enriched and forever changed because we knew you. I'm thankful for what I used to think was the silly world of MySpace, because it helped me find many old friends and be able to get back in touch with them. I thank God that I have been able to talk to you again in the past year and for the opportunity to renew our friendship before having to say goodbye.
I dug out my old yearbook last night and was touched and heartbroken again when I read messages that you wrote in my yearbook.
Thank you for being my friend. I will forever miss you and cherish the memories. You were one of a kind and special beyond words!
