In Loving Memory of Wow, out first family reunion since our loss of Chris is this weekend. How odd it will seem without his humor and wit. He is always in attendance at family gathers with his dogs. This will be quite a change. As always our family times together are happy times, but I feel the absence of Chris will produce a sadness that will be transparent to all of us. We will miss you completely, but know you are not forgotten. With love to you from your family! We will always love you, miss you and remember you. The life we shared, and the memories we made will burn brightly in my heart forever. Thank you for loving us and sharing your life and your heart. No one will ever 'measure up' to you in Brian's eyes ~ no one, nowhere, no time in this lifetime. I lost Joshua last year; I hope you two are camping and fishing in some beautiful place together :-) Love forever, Kim MY ONLY CHRISTOPHER August 23, 1960 to May 21, 2003 written on July 7, 2003 I feel this burden. I know if he knew I needed him, God, this hurts so much, God, take care of my son, He didn’t know how good he was, God, take care of my son, God, take care of my son, I stopped in to Celebrate YOU!!! I wish you were here eating Birthday cake and planning the family menu for the Annual trek to Loggers Lake (assuming the 45 candles on top didn't ignite massive flames and burn the doggone thing up..GEEZO!!! lol) Brian and I miss you every day and it's still shocking and heartbreaking that you're gone. I'm grateful every day to have so many happy memories of you ~ without them the sadness would be overwhelming. Today, on your birthday I honor you by celebrating your life! As Bob Hope always said, THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!!!! Much Love AlwAYS, KIM & BRIAN Chris ~ it is time for the sausage supper! You know how we ALL love to eat as much as possible. I think of you often and miss you more and more. When it comes time to gather with family and friends I always know you are there in our hearts. What would a sausage supper be without you there to see who can eat the most! When our family comes to the table ~ WATCH OUT! I will miss you at the table, but know you are there with us. You and Grandma can share a plate together ~ remember DESSERT is FIRST! love always - Dianne Lakins We had the family Christmas party and I know you were there. Being the clumsy one that I am it didn't take me long to fall while sitting in my chair. I felt a hand on my arm helping me to get up, but no one was there. I thought to myself. There is Chris, the one who takes care of me at ALL family outings. Things then went on as usual, eating laughing and lots of cookies. A little later I received the second presence of you and there was NO doubt in my mind that you were there in spirit being your old self. I was hit in the head by wrapping paper. By this time all of the other clowns were gone and no one was throwing paper. I felt you there in my heart as I often do. My only regret is that Jordan will never be able to meet you. However, I do tell her stories of how you took care of her clumsy mom. She will learn more and more about you and all of the family as she gets older and older. I will always keep you in my memories and I will make sure my daughter grows up knowing what a loving and caring cousin you are! I hope that she too with learn to feel your presence just as I do. I have no doubts that you are enjoying all of the Borgstede parties. How could you not, we eat and joke all of the time. Thanks for being there! - Dianne Lakins Hey YOU, It's ME!!! lol It's that time of year again ~ time to celebrate and remember the beautiful day you (and Pat too!)came into this crazy world!!!You'd be 47 this year :-) I think of you often. Brian and I recall old memories and share great times together thinking about you. I framed one of favorite pictures of you that Brian hangs proudly in his livingroom. It is the one of you and that crazy turtle hat from our trip to Jamaica. I still miss you terribly and wish you weren't gone :-(. Every time I see a Keshond or scruffy terrier I immediately think of you. You'd be happy to know Brian finally has a dog of his own!!! I'm still trying to make contact with your Mom ~ Lou if you see this please email me at Yahoo...mscubo2000. I imagine everyone is planning or maybe even camping at Loggers ~ Boy I loved those family reunions every summer although I can't imagine being there without you. I hope you've found peace and love and joy on your journey and keep an eye out for Joshua!!! Love always, Kim and Brian Jenkins - Kimberly A. Jenkins |
