Christopher, here I am again on Mother's Day! My heart and soul continue
to hurt. Through all the pain over the past few years you should know that
I wrote a mystery that's being published in June. I am so excited but now
that I have empty time on my hands, I need something significant to do to
keep me from going crazy. You'd be proud of me, I know.

Hi Christopher,
I've never met you but know what it's like to lose a loved one to
Hodgkin's Disease. We just buried my younger brother Niels Haugen today.
He died in his sleep March 12, 2004. He was my only sibling, I loved him
so much. If you see him in Heaven please say hello and tell him we love
him and miss him so much. Tell him I'm so sorry I couldn't save him. And
tell him I'll watch out for little Beria and Figen. Forever Niels' sister,
Tove

I don't need to tell you how much you are missed every moment of my life
but I must tell you that you were sorely missed when, on June 9 of this
year, your beloved cousin Christine was married to Jonathan, a young
Englishman. Aunt Cathy and Uncle Ruben were rightfully proud parents. It
was a magnificent affair with a lot of fun Brits dancing the night away.
Your cousins, Susie and husband Frank, Roger and Bill (Skeeter) came down
from Boston for the weekend and some of your grandpa's relatives from New
York also came. I know you would have danced the night away just as you
did when you were a little kid. I stayed at the Roosevelt Hotel for the
weekend and had lots of fun with the Boston relatives. Christine looked
gorgeous as did Jennifer, who is a tall, stately beauty.
Love you Christopher.

How could you have left me? My home is an altar to you. You made my life
complete. Sixteen years and for me it is still the day after Labor Day in
September 1982 that we heard the horrific news - you had cancer - and it
was a death knoll. It gets no easier. Time has stood still and yes, I cope
but I can't stop missing you. You are my baby until the end of time.
Love,
Mom

Hi Christopher,
I was thinking of you today and thought that I would drop by and leave you
some flowers. Ann

Hi Christopher.
We've never met. I saw your picture for the first time on the internet
today. Your mother sent me the link. Your mother misses you very much. She
told me this today. I think it would have been nice to have met you
Christopher. In your photo, you have a very kind smile.
Peace,

Dear Christopher,
I don't know if you remember me--I only met you once. But you are alive
for me in the warm, wonderful memories of your mother. I especially like
to picture you trying to train your unruly but loveable husky--a boy and
his dog are so cute together!
Your mother told me she enrolled you on this site so people will remember
you after she dies. I know they will--you had lots of friends and other
people who love you in addition to your mother. This is to officially
tell you (and your mother) that I love you too and will remember you as
long as I'm still on earth.

To Christopher,
I never met you, but the photo with your sweet smiling face has touched
me. I am a nurse, and care for the sick and dying every day. If there is
one thing I know to be certain above all else, is that love is stronger
than anything, including death. To your mom, I am so sorry for your loss,
but please know that your son is an angel with God and is watching over
you always. There are some things we know in our hearts to be true, and as
a mother myself, I assure you that you will be with your angel again.
The only thing that separates you and your son is time. God Bless.

Dear Christopher,
I too, have a son named Christopher, and I have always thought there was
something very wonderful and special about that name. Although I never
had the honor of knowing you, I was most fortunate, this past week, to
have the pleasure of meeting your mom. It happened while we were both
sending our written condolences to an AOL news post in remembrance of
young John F. Kennedy,Jr. who, as you know, Chris, is now with you in
heaven. Sadly, some people were writing the vilest, meanest things about
this young man, and it broke my heart. I wrote a letter asking why some
people are so full of hate. Chris, just when I was about to give up on the
human race, I stumbled upon the most moving, heartfelt letter from a woman
offering consolation to JFK Jr.'s sister Carolyn. It was your mom, Chris,
and she spoke so movingly and eloquently of her deep abiding love for you
and the terrible pain she felt with your passing. Her brief, but powerful
letter moved me to tears. In the face of all the cruel letters being
written, your mom was a voice of kindness and reason and love. Her words
immediately restored my belief that there are many more good people in
this world. You must have been very proud of your mom, Christopher. I know
how proud she was of you, and how very much she loved you, and still does.
Just wanted to share with you what a wonderful person your mom is--but
then, you always knew that:)

With tears rolling down my cheeks and a big lump in my throat, I leave
flowers for you tonight, my dear nephew. You were the sweetest and most
innocent of little boys. I wish I could have held you more and played
with you more often. Nevertheless, you always knew how much I loved you.
Fortunately, I was able to be with you often when you were sick.
Christine has never gotten over losing you and tears well in her eyes too
when she talks about you. For nine months after you died she left piles
of wet tissues next to her bed. As the months passed, the number of
tissues declined but, believe me, not her love or memories of you.
Mother's Day is here now. As your Mother reminded me, she is still your
mother and I am still your aunt. I too am a better person for having been
your aunt. Love, Catherine

Dear Christopher:
Although we have never met I feel so touched by your Mother's flowers to
you.
Mother and I are first cousins, her Dad and my Mother were brother and
sister.
Christopher, your Mom loves you so and expresses it so well that even I who
did not know you love you too. Rest well in the care of the Lord.
Your second cousin,

Dear Chris:
It seems like a life time ago since we had fun together, time goes by so
fast. I remember my first trip into New York City with you and how much
fun we had. I have two beautiful children now that constantly keep me on
my toes. I hope you are looking down on us and keeping us out of harm's
way. Thanks for happy memories of fun at Salisbury beach. Love Susie

Dear Chris:
It seems like a life time ago since I last saw you. We had some fun times
together. I most remember holidays spent at Plum Island and Salisbury
Beach. I have to children that constantly keep me on my toes. They are the
joys of my life. I hope you and the rest of our family in heaven are
watching over us. We miss you all. Love, Susie

Thanksgiving eve is here, Christopher. And I do have much to be
thankful for - I had you for a short while and the enrichment
you gave to my life is unfathomable. I was touched by Amy who
sent you a message a month ago. She is fighting Hodgkins, too,
and my heart goes out to her because of the pains she must go
through to win her battle. It's almost 15 years since you left
this earth but you are near me. I wake up thinking of you and
go to sleep the same way. I wish I could see you once more,
Christopher.

Christopher,
I didn't know you but I am so saddened to read about your death that I had to write. I too have battled Hodgkin's Disease, and I go to see my doctor tomorrow to see if it has returned for the third time. I was feeling sorry for myself until I read the lovely note your Mom wrote about you, and I realize that I am very lucky to be here now reading this. If I am sick again, I will fight it in my name and in yours. If you had been battling it along with me today, you would have had a much greater chance of still being with us. I am going to make my new hope that I will be missed as much and remembered as fondly after I am gone (whether tomorrow or in 60 years) as you are.

You are being visited on the eve of the fourteenth anniversary
of your death. I did not know you but feel I do now. You were a
light on earth and the light of your mother’s life. She is
carrying on as I am sure you would want her to do. You must
have been a lot of fun to be around as well as a sensitive young
man. You had the gift of making people feel good. Your hat is
charming and so is your smile. I am sure that you are looking
down on your mom.

Hi Chris,
I miss you and the times we used to make funny phone calls
on your
mom’s phone.
Remember the lady we always used to call?...I think she liked
it...Wonder if she ever ate any of the pizzas we sent
her...Love, Jill

were dressed in all white and you handed me a white rose. And
then you left again.

Christopher, It’s Christmas Eve and you are in my thoughts. I
wonder if Jiminy Cricket will amuse other children the way it
amused you. And the Yule Log. You always arranged our family’s
Christmas Eve... even the Christmas music. It’s not the same
without you. Love from Mom.
