Chris, here i go again. Things i wish to say but just can't find the words to say it. Man i miss you. I know you are proud of what happened over the weekend. And you are probably saying kiss a$$ and things along that line. Accomplishments that i never really saw coming in such a short time in the military career. And i have you to think. You are such a great role model for me, even all these years after you accident. I excel to make not only myself proud but you proud. And i know you are sitting up in Heaven proud as can be. Saying that's my little brother. I can't really put into words all that's happened in the military to me in the past few months. Blue Jacket of the quarter, advancement to third class petty officer, Blue Jacket of the Year, Navy and Marine Corps achievement Medal. I know i have a lot more awards and such to receive, for I'm still early in the career, but, I'll make you proud even more. I missed your birthday the other week, so happy birthday bro. My gift to you this year is the NAM, and BJOY, I hope you like it. I love you I miss you. Everyday, every minute, you are with me in all I do, all i am. If I could only ask for one favor, watch over Huckeriede, and the others overseas fighting. Huckeriede is a brother to me. And i don't know what would happen if something happened to him. Just stand by and watch his back for me. I can watch mine here. He needs you more now. That isn't that big of a request is it? I hope not. I love you Chris, more then anyone knows. Until i see you again on the streets of Gold, take care. Fight the good fight.

7 years and 3 days later, and you are still missed. The turnout was a little lighter at the memorial service, but that doesn't mean that your're not still thought of by those who knew and loved you, as well as those who just knew you. I saw a picture of your son today in a card sent by Shannon, and he's getting big - undoubtedly you're watching over him - take care, Chris.

Seven years have passed. It feels like yesterday. It is no less sad...

I can't believe that it will be 7 years tomorrow that you left this earth. In the short amount of time that I got to know you, there was no doubt that you were a "SPECIAL" friend, husband and co-worker to everyone who knew you. I will never forget the heartache and pain that I watched my husband, your wife, your family and your friends go through on that unforgetable morning and the many days that followed. As they say, life has gone on and I am sure that you have smiled many times watching Trenton grow up, your sister's get engaged/married and all of the happy moments that have taken place for those you love over the past 7 years. I am sure you have also stood by all of them during the sad times too, giving them strength that they may not have known they had in them.
Chris, you will never be forgotten. Tomorrow our family will visit your gravesite to remember and thank you for all of the laughter you placed in our lives.

Chris---so you made your appearance on Saturday when Josh got down on his knee and asked...thank you so very much! That just made the evening PERFECT!! I miss you so much. I wish you could be at the wedding. I never was prepared to say good-bye and to this day, I still wish I didn't have to. I love you!!

The hardest part is always the begining, so much to say. I LOVE you and miss you so much all the time. This is the best way I can think to start now. Thank you again for being there when I needed you to protect me. Once again there must be more for me to do. Thank you, LOVE you, Miss you Brother.

Officer Betts,

I had the extreme honor of meeting your father today and from our conversation and all the postings I have read, I can see without a doubt why he and everyone who has ever met you speaks so highly of you.
All to often in this life we lose outstanding dedicated young men and women who are willing to lay their lifes on the line to protect and serve his fellow man; Just as you did on 12/22/2002. There is nothing that can ever be said that will fill the void and remove the pain of losing a son,husband,brother and father, but please know that you are a hero...But that is something you have always been.
Take Care my brother you, your family and fellow East Point Officers are and will always be in my prayers.
I would end by saying that you can rest now, but from what I have heard thats just not in your nature, so my friend continue to fight the good fight and keep shining that light we all can follow to help get us home after a long shift.

Well brother as another year passes I am still in disbelief. I wish you could be here to play with your nephew, he's growing so fast. I know you ride with me every shift, and I hope you will continue too. We miss you Chris, and always will.

Officer Betts served proudly and was deeply loved and respected by those who knew him. It is a tragedy to lose him. We never know when our lives on this earth will end, but we can make a reservation in Heaven now and assure us a place when God calls us to Himself. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life (John 14:6) and He PAID the price for our sins on the Cross so we don't have to pay the penalty for our sins. Yipee! If we accept His payment by faith we can have salvation and spend eternity with Him in Heaven. It is not something we must earn, it is a gift. The most precious one we can ever receive. "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith_and this not from yourselves, it is the GIFT of God_not by good deeds, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2: 8,9. For without faith, it is impossible to please God. And our faith must be in God's only Son, Jesus Christ.
You were a credit to the uniform, Officer Betts. My heart goes out to your
loved ones left behind and may the Lord comfort them as only He can.
