Perhaps the deepest reason why we are afraid of death is because we do not know who we are.  Chris knew what he stood for, and he had a deep understanding of himself and his purpose in this world, so he could greet death as the path to something more.

We will miss your laugh, your energy, your mischievous nature, your kind heart and your gentle soul.

We love you forever and are grateful for our time together.

Alis grave nil (Nothing is heavy to those who have wings).

Bon voyage Chris…

 

In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to purchase a commemorative park bench for installation at Woodland Beach, in the Township of Tiny, ON, in memory of Christopher.  Donations will be accepted at the funeral home during the reception.

    Dear Sonia,

    My heart goes out to you. An Irish poet wrote: ”Lord thou art hard on mothers/We suffer in their coming and in their going!” Your son’s death must have come as a great shock and I pray that you will find consolation and peace of mind that allows you to endure the inevitable grief. We never lose those we love and you will in time feel the deep connection of your eternal bond, meeting him in the greater life we all share and that goes beyond words.

    I hope to attend the memorial gathering on February 22.

    With love, Treasa

    Il y a une nouvelle étoile qui brille dans le ciel.
    L’âme de Christopher est parti dans un monde meilleur, là où se trouve les proches qu’il à aimé.
    Ils sont tous là ensemble sur un chemin pour nous guider et nous protéger.
    La douleur dans nos cœurs est indescriptible, il est parti trop tôt, trop jeune pour cette mission.
    Nous devons garder dans nos mémoires les plus beaux souvenirs.
    Repose en paix.
    Courage et force pour les jours à venir, nos pensées vous accompagnent.

    Dear Sonia,

    I have been away for a few days, and so I just saw your email this afternoon. As I reply to it, you are in the middle of the memorial gathering for your son. I join my thoughts to those shared above by Treasa O’Driscoll, adding that – as I’m sure you are aware – his name Christopher comes from the Greek “Christopheros”, meaning literally “bearing Christ”. From the way you characterized him above, your choice of name for him at his birth was fulfilled.

    With love, Linda

    An infectious smile, a creative mind and a desire to live “outside the box”- that was Chris.
    Chris challenged the status quo and sought to find his way, deeply connected to nature.
    His loving Mom, Sonia, and family supported Chris on his journey.
    His gentle soul will be missed.

    With love, Angie and family

    Hi Sonia,

    My deepest sympathy and condolences to you and Alexandra. Though I know Chris is in a better, peaceful place now, his beautiful, unbridled spirit will be missed. Our world is a little dimmer without him in it. I will always admire his courage in the way he lived his life – unafraid of all the emotions life has to offer. His life was short but full and decidedly his way.

    May God grant you strength in your grief and your sorrow be brief.

    Sonia, Chris was a close friend of mine. He made a big impact on my life and I loved him dearly. He was a true spiritual warrior and I am very inspired by his virtues in this life. Many people benefitted from his generosity and wisdom and gentle heart and I’m grateful for our friendship. My deepest condolences for your loss. He was a special man.
