 My darling husband 
 We loved, we laughed, we struggled, we shared joy and sorrow. You were my best friend, my confidante, my rock. I have cried every day since you went to heaven a year ago today. 
 When you left for work you would kiss me goodbye and then come back for another kiss and hug "One more" you would say. 
  I will love you forever and always my handsome sweet blue eyed boy. 
I know we will meet again on the other side of the rainbow. Wait for me Poppy. We will cruise the moon and the stars and God will shine his light on us.
Your wife and soulmate for eternity,
Lois Beth

Chris and I were best friends from the age of 13 until I moved away at the age of 20 .  I have so many memories of the times we shared together . I want to share just a few of them .
   We both had mini-bikes  and we would ride them almost everyday . One time I had a wipeout .  Not long after that  we were  riding and Chris took a terrible spill on his motorcycle . He was lying there  in pain , little did we know he had broken his leg  , yet  he still had his wonderful sense of humor , to look up and say to me   
 " I guess this beats your wipe out !"
His Parents took Chris  to The Concorde Hotel  in the winter of '74. Chris was nice enough to invite me  . 
We had such a fun time . We saw a comedian perform one night , Dick Lord . Turns out Mr. Lord was a neighbor and friend of Chris when they both lived in New City  in the early 70's.
Chris went back stage to see Dick after the show and took me with him . I still remember what a friend he was  to take me backstage with him  to meet a celebrity who had been on Johnny Carson among his other credentials.
Speaking of Johnny Carson , Chris really loved The Tonight Show.  I remember Chris finally got to meet him in Westchester , N.Y . when Johnny performed there.
Chris got his autograph after the performance . I was so happy  that  he was finally  able to meet his idol. 
Chris got a pilots license when he was about 18 . One day he said he was going to fly his plane over my house so I could see him.
20 mins later  there is Chris flying his plane right over my house just as he promised . I look up and I can see Chris waving to me from the cockpit . What a fun moment we shared that day.
I will  always regret that we did not keep in touch after I moved away .
I want to express my deepest condolences to his family .

I can  say without hesitation that Chris was the only TRUE friend I have ever had. He was everything a true friend is !

His memory and the times we had together will stay with me forever !
