Your neighbors on the corner
We little knew that morning that morning that God would call your name. In life we loved you dearly,in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken,and nothing seems the same; but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. R.I.P. Christopher♥

If We Could Bring You Back Again
If we could bring you back again,
For one more hour or day,
Weíd express all our unspoken love;
Weíd have countless things to say.
If we could bring you back again,
Weíd say we treasured you,
And that your presence in our lives
Meant more than we ever knew.
If we could bring you back again,
To tell you what we should,
Youíd know how much we miss you now,
And if we could, we would.

Cindy,
I am so sorry for your loss. I know there are no words that can fill the void but our prayers are with you and Kyle during this difficult time. I would love to hear from you. My email is kgiannatasio@aol.com.
Cindy and Kyle, There is nothing that can be said to make this difficult time any easier. You are in our thoughts and prayers, and we are here for you if you need anything.
Cindy and Family,
Our thoughts are with you and we are here for you. We are so sorry for your loss. I know I’ve already said it, but if you can think of anything you need, whether its help with an errand or a shoulder to cry on, anything at all, I’m here. I only wish I could do more during this difficult time.
I only have a few memories of my cousin Chris which are of only the best. I will never forget the trip to Cooperstown to experience the baseball hall of fame, camping at the KOA while going up there. He has a place in my heart.
Love always
Shaun
