My beautiful son, come and mend my broken heart 💔

I can hear your struedous laughter, thanks for the memories 

Happy birthday in heaven my sweet son missing you 

Another day, week, month, year without you, thanks for the memories and the love.  The good times were many, and thanks for coming to my dreams yesterday you was glowing and smiling.  My heart and love to the people that loved you and remember you, blessed will be. ❤🙏

Siempre seras mi primo bello el que me hacias reír y viajar en el tiempo recordando nuestra niñez...no sabes cuanto te extraño pero se que nos volveremos a ver...nunca te olvidare...Te amo primo bello!!!🙏

I know Christopher from working at Christ Hospital when I did security. He was the sweetest and kindest person you could ever meet. It was sad to learn about his passing he will be missed. May he rest in peace.

Christopher smile always lit up a room when he entered.  Continue to shine in heaven.  Rest in peace my friend.  ❤🙏

I knew Chris for very long time, always had a smile on his face, we had the Golden Girls, Aretha Franklin in common. Chris had that old soul, sweet and kind. My condolences goes out to loved ones and family. My friend until we meet again, may God open the gates of heaven and let his child in. 

Mi hermano nunca seras olvidado se que fuites un gran hermano un gran ser humano un hermano de la High school siempre alegre y una sonrisa inolvidable  se que estas en el cielo y desde aya arriba vez la tristeza que has dejado en nosotros eres y siempre seras un hermano para mi Dios te bendiga hermano vuela alto y descansa en paz te quiero por siempre.Tu hermano de escuela.Alfredo Papo Martinez.

Querido primo siempre te extrañare, no hay palabras para describir lo mucho que te amo.

I crossed paths with Christopher when we were just 16 years old. He had written a letter to the Mary Wilson Fan Club, explaining he was a teenage fan, and it was published in one of the newsletters. I read it; it was rare to find another Supremes fan my age, and I knew we just had to connect. I immediately sent my own letter to the fan club President, hoping he'd pass my note along to Chris. He did, and we became penpals, thus starting a 30 year friendship. 

Our worlds couldn't have been more different; he from New Jersey, me from Minnesota, but we formed a friendship like any other. Over the years and over 100's of letters, we talked Supremes and Motown, of course, but became comfortable enough to share our deepest thoughts and secrets. If you can adore someone without ever meeting them; if you can consider someone your best friend without ever laying eyes on one another; that was my relationship with Chris.

I am stunned and shocked by the news of his passing. We almost connected a few years ago when I went to visit New York; timing just wasn't on our side, but we thought we'd have enough tomorrows to someday meet face to face. I'm sorry we ran out of tomorrows. The hugs we planned will just have to wait.

I love you, Blondie. Someday, we'll be together.

My thoughts and prayers to Chris' family, especially his Mother whom I know he adored, and of course to his beloved Felix. 

Lily y familia ...Nuestro mas sentido pesame a todos... de la Fam. Toro-Cameron.


El Dios Eterno es tu refugio,Su Eterno poder es tu apoyo. 


Que la Paz del Señor este con ustedes en estos momentos de dolor.

                                                                                      Fortaleza.

My deepest condolences to Lillian and all of Chris's family.  I worked with Chris for many years.  He was my co-worker, but more than that, he was a friend.  He had a heart of gold and was one of the kindest people I will ever know.  I will never forget the stories that we used to share that kept us laughing all day.  Chris was taken from us too soon, but God has a plan for all of his children.  I am so sorry for your loss.  Chris will be missed by so many people.  May he rest in peace.
