Hi Sweetie, My life has been so empty without you. The closest loved ones who comfort me are you dear, loving daughter, Deirdre, and my father and brothers. The days do not get any easier and of course I fall more and more in love with you every day. I love Deirdre as my
own daughter because I know how VERY VERY much you both love each other. I feel your love all the time, sweetie. You are FOREVER in our hearts and will treasure Deirdre and Christopher for the rest of my life.
With all my heart, from your loving wife.

Hi Sweetie, When I write to you it seems like I'm emailing you in Afghanistan.
A beautiful woman, Cheryl Polk has come into my life and she will meet our dear Deirdre next week. This beautiful webpage is her creation. It is helping me and Deirdre cope with our feelings of missing you every minute of the day.
My love for you grows every day and will never fade as long as I live.
I love you with all my heart my dear husband.

It's me again, sweetie,
I stay as very busy as I can but I'm constantly thinking about you and remembering all the little things you used to say and do, and just the way you used to look at me. Why
did you have to leave us so soon? I'm so in awe of your dear Deirdre. She plans to be an Army nurse so she can help soldiers. She is absolutely adamant about this! I intend to support and help her every way I can. Have no worries, I intend to be in her life for years to come. Of course, little Christopher as well. He is incredibly sporty! I know how proud you are of them both. I can't wait to go up to Marblehead on June 22. I visit you every time I am up there. I love you with all my heart and soul, love of my life.
Your forever loving wife

Connie and kids;
Chris was one of us, and some of us had to leave in war and some of us
got to stay. It never seems fair, but know this, Chris' willingness to
lay his life on the line for others and your sacrifice of his presence
as well was an investment in eternity and an important page in American
history. How many ninety year olds gave so much to mankind in all their
years? May God hold Chris in His loving arms, and yor family in His
heart.
In His love, Don and Shirley Bendell

Hi Sweetie,
My dear friend, Cheryl created this page for you. It's beautiful. I
think about you first thing when I wake up, all during the day, and when
I'm trying to fall asleep. It's been slightly over a year and I miss you
more every day.
Your little daughter is growing up so fast! She stayed with me almost
all the month of July. She says she wants to be a Navy or Army nurse so
she can help soldiers. She is so MUCH like you!
I love you more and more each day, sweetie!

Hi dad,

you so much. I love you and am proud of you your the best dad anyone
could ever have.

For the LOVE of MY LIFE,
Many months have gone by and my love for you just keeps growing and intensifying. Are you reading this? Good people have come into my life and this is helping me because I will always think of you every waking moment. I will always take care of
Deirdre and Christopher if they need me. I love them like my own
It is hard on them not having you here. I know you are protecting us, though.
We will all be strong for you because we know this is what would make
you happy.
The war is going well in Afghanistan. Many courageous people
are carrying on where you left off, sweetie. Have no worries about
this. Many of them have stepped up to pick up the sword and thrash the
dirty cockroaches. They are dying by the thousands. You would be proud of
how other nations have sent their troops as well.
I will always love you and be your wife.
Remember? I told you this in San Antonio.
Love, me, your wife, Connie

Dear Dad,
I can't believe it will be 2 years Tomorrow since you went to heaven. I can
remember you calling me and emailing all the time like it was today. I
miss you so much more and more everyday. I want you to know you are so
deeply missed by everyone and it will never end.
For my 18th bday in 2 years i'm getting a tatoo for you, i'm getting your dogtags on the back of my right shoulder. It still doesn't seem real that your in heaven right
now, i just think your still in afghanistan doing what you loved. I
think about you every single second of the day, everyday. Just know that i
love you more than anyone or anything and that will be like that my
entire life, no will ever replace you. You gave me strength and you still are. I cant wait to see you one day in heaven. I know your up there guarding the gates of heaven with your brothers. I love you more than words can describe.
I'm spending the summer with Connie down at ft.bragg again. Im so happy cuz ill feel like im with you more cuz thats where your and Connies house is so i feel comforted. I'm so happy me and Connie are so close, i dont know what i would do without her, im so happy you guys are married. You will forever and always be my hero, i feel so
blessed that God made me your daughter, even though i only had 13 years with
you, those will be my most charished moments of my life.
The only thing i want is for you to be here and see me and chris and connie, but i
understand what you did for your job, I'm so glad that you were in the
military and i can't begin to show you how proud i am of you. There's alot
more i would like to say but i'll talk to you tonight in my dreams.
I love you Dad and miss you more then anyone or anything.
your daughter- Deirdre <3
