Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Almost 33months now . Chris it doesn’t seem possible that you are not here. My head tells me every morning when I get up another day without you I have to start all over again . But my heart doesn’t want to believe you are gone . I still look for you to drive down the road or walk in the door . I have really really missed you this week . You are all that’s on my mind . Looking at pictures and things going on here. Some things you don’t want to see. But your mom really wishes I could talk to you about . But I can hear you saying it will be ok . And I I have to leave it in Gods hands .
I love and miss you so so much. You were and still are a special presence in our family and community . You have 2 new coins from a special person . I check on you every day . Love you my sweet angel

It’s been 31 now and not any better . The pain of you not being here and hear your voice is s unbearable. I woke up yesterday on the day you left and I felt like something just left my body again. Just to remember the time and some things I can’t remember.But I remember your touch, your smile, your laughter and the warmth and love you brought to a room and everyone around you . I can still smell your cologne. I love and miss you so much . I am sitting here with you today trying to search for you . I hope you can see how much I love and miss you . But I will see you soon my sweet sweet Son , Love Mom

My heart is so full of memories that flows out my eyes that I can’t see the to tell you how much you are missed and loved . 30 months gone by and not a day or minute goes by without thinking of you . Chloee goes to college tomorrow and the boys start Tuesday . Jaxson is so much like you at this age it is unbelievable . And you would be laughing at Gabe the way he loves to push Missy’s buttons . I wish you were here to see all the things you are missing . But I know you are in a beautiful place with no pain or struggles . As Kristie says that you would say (it’s going to be ok) but it doesn’t take away the pain . You are a part of my soul. You will never be forgotten . I love you MOM

I know what you would say . Mom it will be ok . But it’s not . You are not here to watch your son and daughter become the best version of you . And you are so proud of them I know . You were loved so much . I love and miss you so very much my sweet boy . Love your Mom

Another day of really missing you . Chris each day doesn’t seem to be getting any better. Every day seems like yesterday since you left us . I know you are not struggling and in no more pain and everything is beautiful where you are. I wish I could see what you see . I know you are standing on your mountain top . Your smile the way you look when your kids walk in the room . I miss you sitting beside me in church as I watch the door every Sunday to see if you are going to walk in. That is so hard to do . I love you so much and miss you with all my heart . You are so missed by everyone here . I love you my SON . Mom

23months today that you left us . Chris you are missed so much . Christmas was ok .It was hard for me to get through it but I did . I know you would want us to be happy . But you were such a good part of family and to look at your empty chair is heartbreaking. There is not one moment that goes by that I don’t think of you. I love you so much Chris . It still doesn’t feel real that you are not here. I sat with you this morning for a while . I had to tell you something. What I would give to hear your voice . And you say mom it will be ok . That’s what you always said . But it’s not ok the way you left us so quickly. We didn’t get to say goodbye and I love you That’s the one thing I miss the most even if we didn’t get to see each other .We would talk on the phone and I would know you were ok even if it was for a few minutes . You always said love you to me . Oh how I miss that . You were so thoughtful and understanding just to let me know you were ok . I dreamed about you last night and you seemed happy . And Chris I know you are using those wings searching all over heaven seeing all the glorious sights. And helping welcome in all those children that have made it out of the terrible wars down here on earth. Hold them tight like I did you . I love you . I hold you in my heart and dreams. Love Mom

Today has really been hard . I want to call you and talk to you and ask you so many questions. It will be Christmas in a few days and I miss you so much . Things aren’t the same anymore . But I keep trying to tell myself that I have to do this for you and your kids And Missy and the boys . But it sure is hard without you and your smiling face here . Chris it still doesn’t seem real that you are gone . Sometimes I still look for you to come in the door . I heard another story of how you touched someone else’s life when you were on a call to their house. They said you helped in a situation with a child and now they are doing good . You have done and touched so many people here . I am so proud and thankful that you are my son . But I wish you were still here . I love hearing all about the things you did. But breaks my heart I can’t talk to you about them . I love and miss you so much . Love Mom
