Chris,

Merry Christmas in heaven my love. I miss you like crazy and think of you all the time.

Looking forward to that day. I love you with all my heart my love!

Mom

My baby Chris.....

The holidays are just around the corner and I'm sitting here reminiscing and wondering how I'm going to get through the holiday season. Holidays are very hard for me because they were your favorite time of the year. Whenever we get together, I'm happy but deep down I know that there's someone missing........YOU. I notice that every time and it hurts so much! Time is flying by and I can't believe how long you've been gone but not a day goes by that I don't think of you. You are missed so much honey and I will give anything to touch and feel you one more time. I love you with all my heart my baby Chris!

Love

Mom

Mijo...

I can't believe that 6 long years have already gone by. The days are not easier but knowing you are at peace brings peace to my heart. You are so very much missed. So much has changed and I wish I could turn back time and change the fact that you are gone. My kids know so much about you and I wish with all my heart that they could physically see, hug and enjoy your beautiful love. You impacted so many lives, so many people miss you and so many new generations will know about you and hear about the love you brought to this earth. Your spirit and memories are alive and well.

At the end of the day I remember that this earth is temporary and that eternal life will be with you, Rosanne, my Abuelita. My time will come some day and when it does I won't be scared, I won't be sad, I know have you to let forward to.

I love you so much Mijo. Please continue to send your love and strength. We can always use it down here.

Your brother, Eric-

Mijo,

6 years today I can't believe it. But with your memories I get by. I think of all our happy times and it makes me feel better. I miss my brother like nobody can imagine. You were my baby, my Mijo. You will NEVER be forgotten. There's not one day that goes by that we don't talk about you. We love you Mijo and always will. I can't wait till we see each other again.

Chris I still remember when you changed my dirty diapers. miss you so much along with all the other family with you. I wish you and family can come back to the real world we miss you.

I love you Tio Chris!

Twenty-three years ago I was in labor awaiting your arrival. I am sitting here going down memory lane and missing you so much. Your time here was way too short. I think about you everyday and my heart aches for your presence. I love you with all my heart honey. Happy birthday my love!

Mom

By the way Mijo, In your memory and to cherish the moments we had growing up I ate your favorite meal for Dinner. :) I love you.

It's been three years since I lost my right hand man, my little brother, Christopher Estrada. I won't lie it's hard at times but deep down I am at peace. Mijo I know you have gone through a journey passing over and letting you be at peace is my gift to you. I love you Mijo, always and forever. You Brudda,

Mijo,

So 3 years since you left us. I went to visit you. I miss you sooo much. There are so many things happening in my life that it hurts me so much that your not here to be a part of it. I know your watching but I wish you were here to help me. I love you with all my heart and there's not one day that I don't think of you. Please stay with us always until we meet again. I miss you and love you! Your sister Wendy.

Chris,

It has been three years since you left us and I miss you more than ever! My heart is broken and life will never be the same but I promise you that I will be strong until our reunion day . I am not afraid to die because I know you are waiting for me in the sky!

I love you so much honey!

Mom

Mom

Hey Mijo,

Yesterday was your 2 year anniversary that you are not here with us anymore. I can't believe it's been that long. I've had so much going on that I wish you were here with me to go through this with me. The only thing that makes me feel better is that each day that goes by is one day closer to being with you again and seeing you. Your beautiful face. Always so handsome. I love you with all my heart mijo. Please keep giving us those little signs that your still with us. We really need that. I miss you so much and you will always be my little mijo. I love you with all my heart!!

Honey:

Two years ago was the saddest day of my life........I lost you! I will never forget that day, the uncertainty, the shock, the pain, the devastation. To this day everything is still so fresh in my mind that I remember every single detail. Words cannot express how much I miss you and not a day goes by that I don't think of you. You are greatly missed and I cannot wait until the day we meet again.

I love you so much honey!!

Mom

Hi Mijo,

First I wanted to say happy 21st birthday! I miss you so much Mijo. I'm sitting here crying like the day we found out you were gone. I still can't believe it! I'm still in shock. I miss you like you can't imagine. Why are you gone? Why? Your pictures are so beautiful of you. You were a great person and I can't wait to see you again. I would give my life to bring you back and hear your beautiful voice and see you being goofy. Please stay with your sister always Mijo. Don't ever leave me. I need you. I love you with all my heart Mijo.

Chris,

Happy 21st birthday my love. I am sitting here remembering that 21 years ago I was in labor awaiting your arrival. How I wish I could go back in time so I can hold you in my arms again. I'll never forget you, how could I? Some of my happiest moments were spent with you. Nothing could ever take away those special memories, I'm so thankful I have them. I miss you so much..... you'll always be in heart and I will always remember you with love.

I love you honey!

Mom

Starting another year without you......Oh how I miss you honey!!! My heart aches for your presence. Words cannot describe the pain I feel inside but I am so thankful for the memories I do have. You will live forever in my heart, mind and soul. I love you honey and I cannot wait until the day we meet again.

Love

Mom

Mijo,

Well I've been thinking about you everyday and missing you more and more. I can't wait until we see eachother again so I can hug you like before. Thank you for the beautiful dreams I have had about you. The little signs I've asked for:) Your my angel Mijo and please don't ever leave my side. I miss you sooo much!! Why did you leave us mijo? Life will never be the same without you. I would give my life to bring you back. You were the best mijo!! I will always love you and we will see eachother soon.

Hey Mijo yesterday was your year anniversary and all I can say is I miss you so much. Thank you for our special moment yesterday. It will make me smile and laugh for the rest of my life. I love you so much!

Chris had a heart of gold. We all have something positive that we learned from him. He led a life of giving and not of taking. If you needed it, he would have given you the shirt off of his back. He would have never even seconded guessed that decision. I remember when I was pregnant and he was about 4 years old. We would cuddle on the couch and watch "Tales of the Crypt". He would hug my stomach and protect his unborn cousin from the monsters. Even as a small child he had that protective instinct in him. That's who he was. When I describe him to people who didn't know him, I feel as though they think I'm exaggerating about the kind of person that he was, but really I'm not. He was such an amazing young man. There was not one mean bone in his body. I was listening to stories about him and his friends yesterday and I heard about a side of Chris I wish I knew more of. I knew he was silly but with his friends he was a clown. I heard about a presentation he did with his best friend in Health class. I won't say what it was about, but we can all imagine "Health Class". Although they goofed around with the project they still managed an A+. It showed me a silly side to Chris that few got to see. Many people might say that he had a serious demenor but obviously he was a clown. Mijo I cannot seem to find the words to express what you have meant to my son and I. Miguelito loves you and will always look up to you for the kind and caring person that you were. Our hearts ache and the tears keep pouring and spilling over, but we all know that you are at peace. Our beautiful Godmother is with you now. Mijo it was an honor to have had you in our lives and I am so proud to say you were my nephew. If only there were more people like you in this world. You were not materialistic in anyway. All you needed were your family and friends. WOW!! At 19 you had all of that figured out. You were way beyond your years. I know you will now watch over us, but please keep an extra close watch on your mom. Although I know you will. Everyone always said you were her favorite but she would never admit it. "She loved you all the same" she would say, but we all knew the truth. Mijo you would be so proud of her. She is being so strong for you. She is so hurt but I look in her eyes and I know that she feels that you are at peace. Sister I see you in a whole new light. I have so much respect for your strength. My family will never be the same but our love will grow sronger because of Chris. When we all leave here today remember Chris by what he would want of us. Be kind to each other, love one another, be truthful and respectful.
Thank you. I love you Chris.

To Sandy and family:
I know that as you gather tomorrow to remember and honor Chris, it will be difficult for all of you. While I know there will be sadness, I also hope that there will be memories of happy times you spent with Chris. One of my favorite memories of Chris was going to an elementary program with Rosanne to see Chris. He was dressed up with a sarape and he asked Rosanne to do the Mexican Hat Dance with him. He was so darn cute!!
I will always treasure the times that Chris was with me at the surgery center waiting for Rosanne to get out of surgery. He loved her so much and he was very worried about her. To keep our minds occupied he would tell me about his aspirations to be a pilot. I believe that all things are possible with God and I hope that in heaven Chris has had an opportunity to fly a plane.
You will be in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow and always.

Mijo,

Tomorrow is your 1 year anniversary and I don't know what to do. I can't believe you've been gone from our lives this long already. I miss you sooo much Mijo and pray for the day when we can see each other again. I know your in peace now with Rosanne and looking down on us. Please don't ever leave my side. I know you are always with me and taking care of me. I will try to be strong tomorrow and try to let it be a happy day with your memories and looking at your pictures. Me and your brother-in-law Noel love you so much and you will always be in our hearts. I love you Mijo.
