Chris had the most incredible collection of special people in his life. I wish I'd had more time to focus on each and every one and to soak up whatever essence of him remains in all of them. I don't know how I continue to breathe.
my words seem hollow and empty even as i type them, but as cliche as it may sound, we are here for you when ever you need us. continuing to breathe is the hard part, especially without distraction. i could not even begin to fathom the loss you are feeling. he was in all of our hearts, but none so deeply as yours.
i could go on and on about how he loved you, and his family so much. constantly chatting about this and that. but you already know all that.
instead i'll just leave you with the knowledge that we are so very grateful to you for raising such a terrific person that we had the privilage to know and love.
i put together a community for Chris's friends to share memories... I just thought there were so many people from different places.. Chris deserved a special place of his own on the Internet... it just started but here it is

I received your letter & am writing a response... i want it to be thought out though and this week was finals week... my thoughts are with you too, i dreamed about you the other night (don't even remember what happened.. i wasn't even in the dream myself), and woke up crying, not for me but for you & Jimmy & the kids..
This was a wonderful idea. It's better to keep this separate from your own journals. Sometimes it's just too hard to think about, other times you almost *need* to wallow in grief (at least I do ... frequently...). But I always love a good Chris story.
The kids seem to be dealing but who really knows. So did Chris when his dad died. Jimmy & I, on the other hand... We all, like all of you, just miss him so very much. For us it is every minute of every day.
Let me know if there's a time I can swing by and deliver that 242 picture. It's still in my bag. I just thought you probably needed time. I know after the 3 week mark was when the exhaustion set in.... at least for me
I'd love to have the picture whenever you're free to bring it by. Every time I think about that whole night, I smile (& cry) to think how much Chris would have loved it.

Thank you for keeping me up to speed.
