Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am diamond glints of snow;
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn’s rain.
When you awaken in the mornings hush;
I am the swift uplighting rush
Of quiet birds’ encircled flight.
Iam the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there,
I did not die.

We were the "Lake Street Boys". We had some good times together. I was "Crazy"; Eric was "Sexy", and you were the "Cool" one. I remember you saying those years in Kent were the the happiest times for you. I'm glad I could be a part of that. You opened my eyes to so many things: "Wallpaper"; Vintage Clothing; Eames Chairs, Good Food. et al.
I wish things could have been different for you. You will always be in my heart, and in my thoughts. I wish we could have had more time. Oh well, I'm not mad at you. I'll see you next life time. Until then, rest baby.
Chris would sometimes buy shoes and sell things on eBay. Chris had an eBay "Me" page, where eBay users describe themselves. It might be of interest to some people to read his "About ME" page. It is at the following URL:

Chris,
I am so sad to have lost you. I know we had not chatted much recently, but you were the ONE person who i could talk to about life, MUSIC, art ,or just whatever we felt like talking about, and you "got it". I will forever miss you my dear, dear friend.

And the corn's a bumper crop.
The fields are full of dancing,
Full of singing and romancing,

Oh, Chris. I'm so sad. So shocked....I miss you. Our chats were always full of fun inside jokes and many laughters of everything and nothing at all. You're in peace now which is something you've yearned for. Rest, my friend. You'll always have a special place in my heart.
We met one day @ Cocktails after a last minute plan made in our favorite chat room. We drank, we laughed, we shared, we learned, we lived that night and many others after as lives should be lived, having the times of our lives. Our Saturday morning phone calls were my weekly high. And my future plans & thoughts always included you...... I will always... always so miss you my FRIEND and COMPANION. I'm so sorry Chris... so very very sorry. You had so much more to offer. I'll think of you every day I have left and cry at the things that aren't to be now. "GOODBYE CHRIS" "I MISS YOU" "I'LL ALWAYS THINK OF YOU"
Goodbye

Rest in Peace knowing that your soul will live on forever in the hearts and minds of people you have touched, and the community in which you lived.
I will always remember our good times together. You will be missed my friend.
No farewell words were spoken,
no time to say goodbye, you were
gone before we knew it, and only
God knows why.
