Our hearts go out to you in your time of sorrow. Hold tight to memories for comfort. Lean on your family and friends for strength.
Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know that are happy.
May you rest in peace, Chris. You touched so many.
Peace, prayers and blessings.
The Nelms Family…Jay, Nancy, Melissa, Ashley and Silas

Chris, I miss you so much. There is not a second in the day that I’m not thinking about you. I miss your crazy spirit, your voice, and now all I have is pictures and memories.
All I’m hoping for now is that you’re in a better place and that you’re at rest and that someday that I can see you again.
I love you Chris!
May you be in our hearts forever!

Chris and I met in first grade at Davie Elementary..he was my very first CRUSH growing up! We also lived 3 blocks away from eachother and soon became inseperatible. I remember his mom & dad picking me up to go to Hollywood Bch., going bike riding everyday, and once I watched him and scott catch a fish from our pond and use my pogo stick to see how many jumps it would take to kill it! Those twins were ruthless when combined…scott was the instigater ha ha!!. When I switched schools a few yrs later we just lost touch…which happens. It’s only when we get older we realize how important those old friends actually are. I had a dream of Chris a few months ago. It took place in the old townhouse you all used to have. We were grown & i remember it was nice to see how handsome i always knew he’d be! We just smiled the whole time and teased eachother about stupid things….but when he finally had to go which i always hated! probably to play mario BROS.with scott! I felt content to have been able to see him again. Today I decided it would be cool to look him up………it was only a few moments ago that I realized what that dream I had actually meant….. That what short time we shared together as kids was
actually important enough for him to take time out from his transition to the
most beautiful state of conciousness & unconditional love we could ever kmow…..and still want to stop by one last time to say “hey”. I love you Chris, always have and I know you’re ok because my mom’s where you are too now. A year Oct 18… I know she, as well as some loved ones you too may have been without when you were here…made it a wonderful way to still celebrate a missed 27th birthday….but to” NEW life” of eternal peace & love….
I do not know the real reason yet for this happening to you but I do hope someone will get in touch with me so I too can eventually make peace with this shocking news. God Bless you all and stay close and stay stong. Chris is just right next door.

It’ll be a year in just less than two weeks since you’ve been gone & I still can’t believe it.. reading, remembering, thinking of the littlest thing about you still makes me teary eyed. God I miss you so much, I regret not being able to make it to the funeral. See you soon buddy!
