Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Hi Chris,

It has been a while since I stopped to say hello. That doesn't mean, however, that I have stopped thinking about you. Not a day goes by that you aren't on my mind. It is kind of funny the things that remind me of you - just little things sometimes. I will never forget that you made the ultimate sacrifice for all of us. Please continue to keep a watchful eye on us. Love & miss you!

Chris

You are still on the minds of everyone who knew you! I know you are waching over everyone you knew. Joel pulled me over on the 4th of july and of course your sticker on my car brought you up. We had a brief moment of memories and then I went on my way to work. You continue keep all of safe and when I get to heaven I can't wait to give you the biggest hug ever....after I stand in line with everyone who gets there before me!! Hope your having a good laugh now and then at some of the dumb crap people do!
We Miss You!

Hi baby,
I just wanted to stop by and let you know that I love you and can't get you off my mind. The holidays have come and gone and it's a new year... I saw everyone one christmas just as we would have, I got everyone something just as we would have also and just wanted to let you know that I finished the gift you started for larry last year... I hope that I did a good job, fishing Im not a pro at and dont have a clue on what is what but I know that you helped me. My grieving is getting better but now all I can think about is what stage of life we would be going through, more dogs, bigger house,kids,ect...I guess my heart is still missing you and with time all will get better. I love you and til we met again!!!

Chris-
Its been a year since that tragic day and as I sit here typing this it is pouring down rain, which seems only appropriate. The card from your funeral and a rubbing from the memorial wall remains hanging in my locker at work, as a reminder as I get dressed for duty of the price that you paid and the danger that we may face doing the job that we do. I will never forget the fishing trip we had on the Potomac in my boat or the trip that you, Footen , and I took to Bass Pro Shop. Continue to watch over all of us and keep the men in uniform safe.

I can't believe it's been 1 year since you left this place. I still think about you and my family constantly and I still pray for you all!

Alot can happen in 1 year...I am in contact with my mom again and excited about all my new baby cousins. I ask that you watch over them too for me and keep those little babies safe. They are such beautiful babies and I can't wait to see them. I wish I lived there, so I could spoil them rotten, just like I wish I could have been a part of your life while you were growing up, I would have spoiled you, Ryan, Crystal, etc. rotten too! lol I joke with markie and tell him when he has babies I plan on spoiling those babies rotten, filling them with sugar highs and then sending them home rotflmao! :) I'm just going to hug them to death and never let them go ;=) It is hard you know, living so far away and wishing I was closer to my family. I have missed out so much in my life. I missed out on so many people lives and instead of being a part of a family, we are all more like strangers and that does haunt me and does hurt me. I can't change back the time and I can't do it all over again, but what I can do is try to stay in contact with the family and visit whenever I can and make new memories.


and I have talked to my mom about visting your grave today for me since I can't come myself and she promises me she will bring you something today :=), something special from us all. that would mean alot to me. I'm planning a trip to Hagerstown in april or may and plan on visiting smithsburg and seeing all the stuff I missed out on. I'm excited about that! I'm excited to see your mom and the rest of the family again ! I can't wait! :)

I love you all! I have always loved you all! I miss you all! I wish I was there! I wish I didn't live so far away! I wish things could have been different! It hurts you know!

love

My Little Hero
December 19, 2008-1 year

You were special from the moment you were born. The doctors didn’t think you would live; but, with your strength and God’s loving grace; you pulled through. A miracle, I didn’t realize how special you truly were. You touched so many lives, in such a positive manner. I’m so, very proud of you. God gave us twenty-five-years together. You experienced more life in twenty-five short years, than most people do in a lifetime. You always tried to protect me, and I knew you would always be a great police officer. You wanted to make a difference, in peoples lives. My saddest regret, though, is knowing that you never had the chance to have your own family; the houseful of kids and dogs; you always dreamed of. I’m so sorry, that was taken from you. When you left , so suddenly to return home, you took a big part of me with you. You were, and always will be, made of one-half me, and I will never feel whole, again. Christopher, one day, we will all be together, again. I know you will keep the light on for me and will be waiting at the gate, with open arms. Every day I can, I go to your grave. Every night, I look at the brightest star, and there you are! There’s my little Hero...my little Punkinberry, and I miss you, oh, so much!

Love,
Mom

Chris,

I have blue lights out in your memory, but still get a tear in my eye when I think about how things should have been different. You are all over this town. I see things everyday that remind me of when you were here. Officer McKnight had on a beenie hat the other day crossing traffic at the high school and that brought back memories of the last day you were here in person. You had on a beenie hat and of course your sunglasses : ) you stopped me to let other traffic go and I smiled an evil smile at you, you waved, shrugged your shoulders, and wished me a Merry Christmas. You always had that shoulder shrug that said so much. You were great as a person and as an officer and I hope that you are looking down on our town and seeing all the blue lights in your memory. One year later and you are still in this entire town's heart as you are in all the people that knew you on a personal level. Chris RIP and know that you are not forgotten and on the mind of someone everyday day. I'm waiting until we meet again and I can Thank You in person for all the things you have done for this little mayberry of a town. You are our HERO and blue lights will always be on my house Christmas just for you.
