“…Everything remains exactly as it was. I am I, and you are you, and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by the old familiar name. Speak of me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone…Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it.
Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is absolute and unbroken continuity.
What is this death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner…. ”
~Henry Scott-Holland, 1847-1918

Christopher lives in peace with Jesus, no more pain, no more struggle, simply days of life, laughter and joy while he waits for those who love him. My prayers are with Christopher’s family and friends. Christopher will be missed as their lives move forward, but he will never be forgotten by the many, many people who loved him so, and who called him brother, son, friend. May you all know how much you are loved, here at the Ponds Youth Center.
Chris was not only a classmate for me, he was a friend. Chris laughed and loved to play sports. Chris will always stay in my heart and even though he is up i heaven, he is in a better place. One of my other classmates, that was Chris’s best friends said tht it rained when Chris was on earth in pain so he was crying, but one he got better he went to heaven and the sun was shineing so very bright, and he was telling everyone who loves him that. Chris was a funny, and smart kid that was special in many ways! Therefore, I pray for him up in heaven knowing that he is in a better place!<33
