Chris no one could ever have prepared us for the unfillable void in our lives and hearts with your untimely passing. The support has been as overwhelming as our loss. This is a testament to your true self. You will forever be a pure and genuine soul. He was our pride and joy and the light of Mama Judi, Mama Ana, Papi and Titi Joann his birthday twin. Suzie Q you were the love of his life and will always be part of our family. Family came first and foremost. You were always there for your friends to either lend a helping hand or just listen. Beautiful son amazing grandson and loving nephew the best friend of all friends. Number one Yankee fan, class clown, loved his car, life of the party that loved house music. Handsome, great cook took pride in everything he did. In all of life's challenges he rose to the occasion, even serving in Afghanistan to protect our freedom and safety. He gave the best hugs. Most of all you will always be my beautiful baby boy with that amazing smile. Whichever way I go I will come back to the place you are, my heart. I will borrow from Peter Gabrielle's lyrics from in your eyes. In your eyes The light the heat In your eyes I am complete In your eyes I see the doorway to a thousand churches In your eyes The resolution of all fruitless searches In your eyes I see the light and the heat In your eyes Oh I want to be that complete I want to touch the light The heat I see in your eyes" I was blessed to have you in my life even though it was brief I will cherish every moment till we meet again my beautiful baby boy.
