My darling Christopher,
As the days go by so slowly my love will never fade. Your light will last a lifetime. I miss your laughter, your silly jokes and I miss hearing your voice.
I love you always

Chris, my dear friend. My heart aches that you're no longer with us.
I'm going to miss you immensely - your jokes, your pictures, the stories, the wild jokes, and the way you called me your companion in time and space. There'll be no other person in my life like you and you will always hold a special place in my heart and my memory x

Chris,
Words cannot express my sense of loss. I find comfort in knowing you are with Nana, Pop and Mrs. Lehman. They will now have you to themselves.
Always remember how much you are loved and missed by those you left behind. We have wonderful memories to keep us going. Please know you will never be forgotten.
I will always cherish our talks, laughs, and times together.
May your memory be eternal.
With all my love,
Aunt Kathy

Chris I know you and Ma were never big on religion, so while I say a prayer and read scripture on my own time, I thought this poem I found would be a more fitting tribute to leave in this guest book. It is slightly paraphrased.

When You Bid Me Goodbye

© Kathrine Yee Baraquia

Published: October 2011

In my bed, I lie awake,
And still thinking.
What could have been,
If you were still here,

I know it could have been better,
Seeing you right in front of me,
Knowing you're still alive.

But this is life.
No one stays forever,
May it be fate,
Or just a change of heart.

I don't want to let go, and you knew it,
When you left , it was hard.
The moment I heard of your passing,
I was down on my knees for the first time.

I kept praying, begging God,
To make you live again.
But how could I stop you?
When you are in a better place now.

I will never stop believing,
That you still think of me.
You're the type of friend,
Who keeps promises in his heart.

In heaven, I trust,
You're still the friend I know.
I know you remember my name,
When I call out on yours.
I know you still smile and laugh,
When I crack jokes the wrong way.
And sometimes I smile too when I think of your name.

Someday, when it's my time,
It will be just like before.
That's the time when we no longer,
Have to face goodbyes anymore.
Friends in the distance,
and through time, we'll still be.
I love you too as a brother, please do believe me,
Hear the words I once hid.

Rest in Peace brother, and know I will be looking out for you when it's my time to cross the gateway!

Best Regards until then!

Dear Helen and family. I cannot imagine the sadness you are going thru, People always seem to offer help and anything they can do, but I know that there usually isn't anything that can ease your pain or fill the emptiness from the loss of your son, nephew, and grandson. All we have left is memories when all is said and done and I am sure that you and your family have many to share about Christopher. May they be memories to bring you smiles and ease the sadness. Love, Cindy

Dear Helen,
This is Julie from Queensland, Australia. I am so desperately sorry for the loss of Christopher..there are no words to convey to you the depth of your loss. Christopher had the biggest heart I've ever "known". I really do have no words to share with you, please know that you are in my heart.
with much love always,
Julie Leibinger.
