If wishes came true, I'd wish you here.

Some day we'll meet again.

Been a couple years, but not a day goes by without a thought of you. I miss you dearly, and even though my struggle is different now, It's no easier without you. I hope to meet you up there one day when my work here is done. Until then, I will carry on and honor your memory. Soldier on. -Koy

I'm missing everything about you, yes that includes the good, bad and ugly.

I look at your pictures all the time, I even talk to you when life moments happens. Tonight I asked the age old question, why you? The answer I got was that your heart was just too big, always giving to others, you were my superman, my knight in shining armor. To others you were so much more. That's why you are missed so much, especially by me.

I still recall sweet memories of our time together.

It is said that time heals all wounds...I still hurt. You are with me in my thoughts and prayers for your family everyday.

When I find myself missing you I recall the prayer; "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference."

I love and miss you so much! There is so much I want to tell you, so many stories I have. Like how me and Jessica used to watch King of the Hill with you and during commercials we would just talk. I need one of those moments. Its never gets easier. I love and miss you so much. But I know that you're looking down on all of us and watching and us keeping us safe every single day. I got ran off the road the other day, didn't have on my seatbelt, and I only came out with a busted nose. I knew it was you watching me and keeping me safe. I wish that everyone in my life now how the chance to meet you. You were the best man that anyone could have in their life. I love and miss you so much. but i know as I walk daily that you are always with me.

I saw our house today, it was perfect, just like what we use to dream of having; 20 acres with the house over looking the lake. Lots of woods for you to go hunting and a big kitchen for me to bake. I see you in so much of what I do everyday, I miss you so much.

I love you...I miss you.. I love you... I miss you... I don't think that I can type or write that enough to let you know how much I really do. I wish you were here. I've met somone extremely good to me..Wish you could have met him,but I know you're watching over me and you probably have more knowledge about him than I do,lol. You're supposed to be at my wedding whenever that happpens. I have no doubt that I'll feel your presence as I do,now. hugs and kisses!

One year and four months and my life is still not normal since you left. I think of all that we've been through; the happiness and the pain. The pain of you leaving me here is so hard I sometimes ache, then I listen to the song "Pass Me Over", and find comfort is the last chorus...."I'll meet you on the other side". I know that I'll see you there someday and there will be know more pain. I Love You

So the other night I drove past your house, not on no stalker type stuff, lol but just because...I miss youuu...I watched this video not too long ago & I felt your presence...Like u were standing right there beside me watching it with me...You'd probably have your big cheesy grin on too...lol LOVE your smile... I had a "stalker" encounter the other day & I thought dangit I need to call Mr. Chris so we can go to the shooting range. Who's going to teach me, Mr. Chris? Hope I'm able to make you proud... I Love you. I truely do. Hugs & kisses -Rae- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Um7l72twyoo <---for you

Throughout this day of Thanksgiving I give thanks to God for bring Chris into my life.

I don't speak my feelings too much, but i really and truly miss my father, the greatest man i ever had the pleasure to know. Not a day goes by where I think of or imagine something we had done or could have done. I try my hardest to honor his memory and carry his legacy on as far as i can. I thank god for all opportunities and blessings but my father was a blessing that i still cant seem to thank him enough for. I'm glad my father finally can rest and be with god, and i hope that we can all see him again one day when our work here is done. I miss you dad.

Reading everyone's posts has me a little teary eyed. I love and miss you so much. Meeting you and Jessica was the best thing to ever happen to me. Jessica is just my love and I love her more than anything, and you were the father I had never had. You treated me like your own. I can honestly say I never felt out of place when I was with you all. Whenever we were all out you treated me just like one of your own. You did so much for me and impacted my life in such a positive way. Whatever we needed or wherever we wanted to go you always made it happen. You were the best male role model anyone could ever ask for. I am so grateful that God put you in my life. I miss you and think about you a lot. Me and Jessica talk about you all the time. I want you to know that everything you did for me is appreciated and I love you so much.

So my eyes are watering right now...I miss you... I was going through my phone and came across your number... I wanted to call you soooo bad! The phone's proabably disconnected by now of course, but I can't delete it...That would almost be like deleting you...and no, no that could NEVER happen...! Lol I remember you used to have like every kind of cereal imaginable in the pantry...and nutty buttys!!!! yum!!! lol...and you could cook soooooo good!!!! And u stayed stocked with sodas in the kitchen cabinet at the top...haha OH! and u always had some type of pound cake thingie...! lol I love you Mr. Chris!!!

I dont no where to begin. my dad was a wonderful person. He was always willing to give and go out of his way for people.sometimes i like to think that God took him away because he needed a "helpful hand" in heaven.I cant explain how much I miss him! I hate when im reminded of the things I have yet to accomplish that he will not be around to witness.Still I strive to make him proud! He has become my motivation, my drive and that alone keeps me going! losing him has created a change in me, Ive learned that you just cant expect people to always be around! you should really enjoy the people you love while you can and not let the little things stop you from doing that. I have many memories of my dad mostly of my child hood. I remember him brushing and braiding my hair (how I hated it), holding his little finger because my hands were too small, and how Id love to go to his room to hear his stories about being a kid in louisiana (no one told them like he did=)....My dad in my opinion was the BEST dad EVER! He would have done anything for any of his kids and given his last to anyone! That makes him my hero and someone I can be proud of! I am so proud to be his daughter and hope that I will become as generous and loving as he was. I love you and miss you daddy ! - your baby "lulu"

while running errands in Mableton....driving down your street, as I had so many times in the past..pulling in the driveway, calling you to open the door and get me some coffee. My way of checking on you...then I realized you were no longer there. i couldn't bring myself to go past the house. On my way home, I took a trip down memory lane...do you know that I still have the plant you gave me for Valentine's Day 3 years ago? this is major because you have the green thumb, not me. I came across the pictures of us with the kids at the Arcade and you & I in Helen....remember that big "A" margarita we were trying to drink??? LOL... I miss you.......Janet

Mr. Chris was like a father to me in more ways than one... Me and my mom stayed with him after hurricane Katrina and even after we moved out anytime I ever need him for ANYTHING he was there.. If I needed someone to pick me up from school because "I wasn't feeling well." he'd be right there... I remember our apartment had got broken into and I happend to walk up on the damage.... I was so scared I called my mom and told her and she called Mr. Chris...not more than 60 secs later he was calling me making sure that I was ok and on his way... He stayed with me while the police came and until he knew I was ok... Anytime there was a talent show that I was in he was there front and center cheering me on... As time went by we didn't c each other or speak to each other as much, but we made sure to check up on one another once in a while... The last time we spoke, He wished me a Happy Valentine's day and we spoke about his resturant and when we were going to go to the shooting range...I always wanted him to take me.... I never thought in a million years that I would be sitting here typing memories about a MAN who loved and cared so much for others, because he isn't here... I love Mr. Chris dearly and he will always have a special place in my heart, one that only a father can. MWUAH!

The lyrics to this song express my thoughs so clearly; Since you've been away I've been down and lonely Since you've been away I've been thinking of you Trying to understand The reason you left me What were you going through? I'm missing you Tell me why the road turns Ooh ooh I'm missing you Tell me why the road turns As I look around I see things that remind me Just to see you smile Made my heart fill with joy I'll still recall All those dreams we shared together Where did you run to, boy? I'm missing you Tell me why the road turns Ooh ooh I'm missing you Tell me why the road turns Sometimes I've wondered I didn't understand Just where you were trying to go Only you knew the plan And I tried to be there But you wouldn't let me in But now you've gone away boy I feel so broken hearted I knew the day we started That we were meant to be If only you'd let me! I've cried so many tears Gotta face now all my fears We let time slip away I need you boy Here today! There was so much you gave me To my heart To my soul There was so much of your dreams That were never told You had so much hope For a brighter day Why were you my flower Plucked away I'm missing you Tell me why the road turns Ooh ooh I'm missing you Tell me why the road turns...

Chris was handsome, charming, beautiful smile, a great dancer, very smart, gentle, wise, giving, honest, an entrepreneur, passionate, adventurer, a true sports-man, great with his hands, a comforter, a protector, a leader, very stylist, business savvy, funny, a good cook, kept a clean home, he was a father, a real friend, a son, a brother, generous, romantic, nostalgic, he was spontaneous, sensitive, caring, nurturing, prosperous, opinionated, expressive, a realist, strong, thoughtful, daring, courageous, a hero to my son, a knight too me, he was my partner , my friend, he was a man of God, he was a gift, a blessing and lived a life that pleased God. So much more I can say and will in time.

Our first official date, him coming home (Louisiana), us going to Copelands. When I looked up, hours passed. The following night we attended a Virgo birthday party and danced all night long. Everyone thought we had been together for years but we had just met. Who knew that first date would later lead me to working side by side with him on his house after Hurricane Katrina and relocating to Atlanta. For everything there is a time and a season...for us, the time was too little and the season too short. Pasa - Janet
