Some people just make life better for everyone around them. They just naturally make everyone feel a little happier, a little more alive to life. That’s how my cousin Christopher was. His kind heart and generous soul blessed so many people. The times we spent together were always fun times that left me looking forward to the next. Chris, Sindre, & Sam took the time to come visit my husband Dan & I late last summer, and we’ll forever be grateful that we had that time together one last time. He will be sorely missed.

Allerliebster Chris, It’s hard to write this with tears in my eyes and such a heavy heart over your sudden and untimely death. You were just getting started…  Will I really never hear your infectious laughter or Schwäbisch talk again? Your endless knowledge about everything and enthusiastic throat clearing?  I can’t imagine you never coming…

Christopher, like his namesake, seemed to us to have a short life, and yet his torch lit so many fires. He would never quench a smoldering wick, but fan it into a flame to ignite the next one. <strong><i>On the way to the paradise, our road may be short or long.  Give joyfully a sacrifice,…
