one of the most amazing men i knew. he touched my life in so many ways and i truly believe that he has helped make me who I am today. he was the person who had the answers and could fix my problems. He pushed me to do great things and i thank him for all he has done for me and every other RMS student. He will be miss and may he rest in peace.

I can remember vividly when Chris bounded into my life. Chris was a bubbly, beautiful, sweet little boy with a loving nature and a smile that would melt your heart. He was so charming, so expressive, so caring and helpful - you fell in love with him instantly. And Donna was such a great mother. I can still see him like that today - it's hard to believe it was so many years ago.

As he grew up he had his challenges as all of us did. But he was ever ready with that wonderful sense of humor and that smile - and he didn't stop until he got someone to laugh. I remember as a teenager he'd be cruising the malls with his friends and his brother Heath and they discovered that if they took their lttle brother Shaun with them - magical things happened. Shaun was so funny, so cute and charming that all the girls would come up cooing and ahhing. So instead of lamenting that their little brother 'had to tag along' - they MADE him come so they would attract the girls. And it worked - probably much better than his parents would have preferred!

Chris was lucky in that he was part of a big, warm loving family. He had his Mom and Dad's relationship (my brother Roy and his wonderful wife Donna) to look to as a model and that's what he aspired to. He realized his dream when he met a wonderful women Sharon and her beautiful twin daughters- Sammie and Katie- and they became a family. Chris always loved children and he loved his girls. Chris was so happy - he finally had the life he wanted. He was content. It's good to know he was so happy before he was taken from us way too soon.

Chris had a FULL life- let's celebrate that. He is beloved. He is in our hearts. He will be missed.
....especially by his Aunt Cheri.

My wife and I met Walt and Jenny in 1980 at our chuch in Redwood City, CA before they were married. We became good friends as part of our church's young married couples. We'd spend Sunday evenings playing cards and eating waffle dinners and our famous homemade "egg roll" dinners. Our children were born at about the same time and we spent countless hours together.

Our hearts are so sad to see Walt's death, but know that the faith this family has in God will see them through this difficult time. Walt and his while family has touched so many families over the years and we are proud to be friends and almost family.

I can't believe this happened!

I went to Wilson, but still, RIP even though I didn't know you.
You're in a better place now

FROM ALL OF US:
GREAT UNCLE YI WAS A KIND AND LOVING PERSON, WE REMEMBER HIS BIG SMILE, HIS KIND VOICE IN BROKEN ENGLISH AND ESPECIALLY HE ALWAY REMEMBERED MY NAME. WE WILL MISS HIM.

i never did get to meet jake, but i've heard stories about how much of a wonderful person he was. i was looking forward to the future of meeting him. i was at my friends house when i heard the sirens of all the fire trucks ambulances and police cars. it broke my heart when i recieved a message from a friend of what had happened. i sat and cried a little at work. i cant imagine what family friends and his girlfriend are feeling if i feel so much pain.

RIP Jacob Hefter
you and your family will be in my prayers
