Such a wondrous soul
A wonder to behold
How blest I've been to know you
And have you in my life

Christopher my son in love
You and Michelle never wed
But you loved her it was plain
And my heart came to know
Why she loved you just the same

You brought love into our lives
You gave with no regard for yourself
I cannot think of the words to describe
How much you brought to us

I came to see what a wonderful
Generous and kind soul you are
A wonderful companion to my daughter
And a loving father to your children

I came to know a man of grace and heart
Who always gave more than he asked
A man who loved his family
And made sure I knew that included me

So I celebrate your life dear Chris
And your heart and soul
I love you my dear son in love
I'll miss you always
And in all ways honor your memory

I know how blest we've been
I thank God for the time He gave us with you
You snuck into my heart
And there you'll always be

With love, GG
