Today is five years without you. Our family was horribly affected by your death and though I’m still unsure of why you passed and I truly could never grasp the thought that you were really gone. With the death of you, it was the death of my mother. My whole life fell apart while I was just 9 years old. So I will admit I had so much resentment towards you for doing that to me and your whole family. But I realized you were taken for a reason because you just weren’t meant to stay for any longer so even if I could go back in time I wouldn’t change the outcome because if it weren’t for you dying i would’ve fell into the same lifestyle your family is in now. Though they are still my family, it doesn’t feel like it. So rest in piece uncle I miss you.

Chris... you came into my daughter, Liliana's life like a whirlwind romance ... it was True Love, with many good times and some  bad times...but you left us with 4 gorgeous grandbabies, or as you would often put it (your little monsters!) and they were always so thrilled to see you. .. and I'll always remember your concern for my hubby, Jorge if you ever found him working on his car or doing yard work and you knew that he needed help, you would offer to help him without being asked... and I'll always remember your funny stories or silly comments.. .. but I'll never understand why you left us all way too soon... . we sure will miss you... Thanks for the great memories! ... and God Bless you Chris!

I remember when me, my son Mathew, and my daughter Isabella were over at Jennifer's house barbecuing and swimming and me and my kids wanted to go over to have a good time but in reality we were struggling financially and in need of the help. and here comes Christopher to the rescue he came up to my son and my son's always looked up to him, and he handed some money to my son and it was the exact amount of money we needed to pay our bill . Christopher you will always be in my in my kids memories thank you. We will always love you and will always remember you!!

Even though Chris and my sister separated a long time ago, Chris always remained like a pain in the butt little brother. When he had money he was always trying to give me money because he knew when he didnt have money I always helped out w my nephews. I would literally have to yell at him.. " Put your wallet away! People are going to see you and rob you!". He was always saying the dumbest things that would make us laugh, and he always had the craziest stories. He would tell his stories to anyone. He didnt care if you judged him or not or what anyone thought of him. 
 It is sad that he is no longer here w us anymore. He will always be with us as he has a little bit of himself in all his beautiful children. He will be missed and always remembered. Rest in Peace, Chris. We will keep your memory alive w all your stories. 

At our baby shower for Christanthos. You were always there to celebrate their births with me. You won the bottle drinking game and you were laughing at how you kept winning all the games. Haha we had to make you stop playing to give someone else a chance to win. You were silly and goofy. Always with a smile. Love you my Tubby Hubby.. there will never be anyone else like you...
