I lift up my eyes to the hills — where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. — Psalm 121:1-2
I came across this poem and I thought I would share it. I’m sure that is just how many of us that loved Kristopher are feeling. I know it describes just what I’m feeling. We love you Kristopher.

“They say memories are golden,

well, maybe this is true.

I never wanted memories,

I only wanted you.

A million times I needed you,

a million times I cried.

If love alone could have saved you,

you never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly,

In death I love you still.

Inside my heart you hold a place,

no one could ever fill.

If tears could build a stairway

and heartache make a lane,

I'd walk the path to heaven,

and bring you home again.

Our family chain is broken,

and nothing seems the same.

But as God calls us one by one,

the chain will link again.”

One of the times we were visiting Aaron and Gabriela, I asked Kris if he could recommend a good product for my curly hair. He brought out a new bottle of Deva, "archangel gel" and told me to try it, and he also told me that I could keep the bottle. I thought that was so sweet of him to share so generously:)

Kristopher was always sweet and loving i wanted to share the last text message i got from him. It was this last Christmas, he kept changing phone numbers, so after this one he sent me messages through his Mom, Kristy.
[Happy Christmas eve guys i love you all !!] I'm his Great Aunt you couldn't ask for a better kid. And an amazing adult. I love you buddy, miss you loads... Great Aunt Teresa
His smile, his happy go lucky dispositions, his unique style, the way he looked at me when he wanted something, and he used to say: "Nonniiiii", and I could not say no. :)
In response to "What always reminds you of Kristopher?"
Our trips to Freddie’s to get him his favorite Burger and the peanut butter milkshake he loved. We used to listen to the music he liked, talked and laughed.

Kristopher drew this picture at school Desert Chapel Christian School and they made it into a magnet that we put on our fridge and it’s still on our fridge today.

Thank you to all who attended the Celebration of Life for Kris. It was so nice talking with so many family and friends who loved Kris and reminiscing fun stories. As promised, below are the links to the videos which were featured on the Video Station. Love these precious memories of our Kristopher.

And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:9

Father, thank you for your grace. I need you to pour out that grace more and more. Please help me bear up under the weight of my trials and temptations with character and faithfulness. Please give me the courage to hang on through the tough times because I know that I will eventually share heaven with you and those loved one’s who have gone before me. Thank you for your Spirit, my assurance that I am your child and that I will share in all of your blessings. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
For those who were unable to attend, below is the link to the Graveside Memorial Service Zoom video. We sincerely thank all who attended in person and by Zoom. We know Kristopher was so very loved.

I first met Kris when my son James was in the 8th grade. Chris had just started there at the new school, and James asked if we could give him a ride home. Then the next day Kris came to our house to ‘hang out’ with James. He was dressed nice, was very well mannered and respectful, and they stayed friends through the years to the present. I always enjoyed having him over, and Kris and James got along real well and
shared a strong friendship. We will miss him, and James is bummed his friend is no longer here...
In response to "How did you first meet Kristopher?"
We felt your LOVE today.
We Love You and Blessings to each and everyone. Kristopher’s Family

Appreciation of the Mystery,,,,,,,,
For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,
that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—
to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen 🙏🏾 -Ephesians 3:14-21 ♥️

Prayers have been extended today that God‘s lovingkindness and compassion will strengthen our family and friends.

Lamentations‬ ‭3:21-24
This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
They are new every morning: Great Is Thy Faithfulness.
The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
Our family would like to take this time to extend our sincere gratitude for each of you who have been praying for us over these past few weeks, since the loss of our Kristopher. Thank you for your heartfelt prayers and genuine generosity. There are many of you who are listed on the website donations page and we want to extend our gratitude. There were many of you who provided your blessing directly to our family and we want to also extend our gratitude and also acknowledge you as well.
