When I must leave you, please don't say that Xga ve up. Ju s t s a y that I g'a v e in. D on't s a y that Xlost the b attle fo r
it was God's to lose or win. P lease d on 't sa y h ow go od Xwas, but that Xd id m y best. Just say, Xtried to do what was right, to give the most X
could, not less. Please don't g iv e m e w ings or a halo. T h at is fo r God to do. Xw an t no m ore than Xd eserve,
no extras...just m y due. Please don't g iv e m e flowers or talk in real hush tones.
Don't be concerned about me; now Xam w ith God. Xm ade it home. Don't talk about m y illness fo r it's over

Don't paint m e on canvas, but in y o u r heart, don't g iv e m e ligh t tones...use som e g ra y and dark.
Don't just rem em ber all the good times, but rem em ber the bad, fo r life is full of m an y things...som e happy, some sad. But if yo u m ust do som ething, there is one request X
have: "Please forgive me for the w rong that I've done and w ith the lo ve that's left; Thank God fo r m y soul's resting. Thank God fo r all who loved me. Thank God that I've been blessed and praise God who loved me best.

Chris, our hearts are filled with so much pain and yet so much joy.
We will never forget your boisterous laughter, famous imitations, and sincere heart.
Your spirit will always be with us each and every moment. As we always ended our conversations.
"1love you"
"I love you too"
