It is hard to believe it has been seven years since God took you home. We still miss you so much that there are times the pain is almost unbearable. We miss that beautiful smile that lit up the room when you entered, the telephone calls telling us about Iraq and your plans after your services was up, and those wonderful hugs that made us feel like we were the only person you cared about. There is not a day that goes by that we don’t think of you and shed a tear. You will be in our hearts until the day we die.

With all our love,

Momma, Dad, and Christopher

My dearest Chad,

There will always be a place in my heart for you. I treasure all of the memories I have of your smiling face, young and older – but not as old as it should have been. I’m sure you are glowing in heaven and hooked up with grandpa. I thank you for all you did for the sake of all of our families, friends, and country. I wish you didn’t have to serve as you did and could have lived the life you deserved and dreamed about.

Chad Mo,

I needed to let you know there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about you. I will always cherish the memories of our time together good and bad. You were the child/son I never had and I am so grateful to have had 21 years to experience you. I will forever miss and love you.
