A message from Chris aka CB (chrisy baby): "To my dearest family and friends, some things I'd like to say, but first of all, to let you know that I arrived okay. I am writing this from heaven, here I dwell with God above. When I am gone, release me, let me go, I have so many things to see and do, You must not tie yourself to me with tears, Be happy that I had so many years. I gave you my love, you can only guess, How much you gave me in happiness, I thank you for the love each have shown, But now it is time I traveled on alone. So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must, then let your grief be comforted by trust, It is only for a while that we must part, So bless the memories in your heart. I will not be far away, for life goes on, So if you need me, call and I will come, Though you cannot see or touch me, I will be near. And if you listen with your heart, you will hear, All of my love around you soft and clear, then when you must come this way alone, I will greet you with a smile and welcome you home."
