Our heartfelt prayers go out to you at this time and we pray that you will draw your strength from the Lord above who loves and cares for you deeply.
We are here for you and are grieving with you.

i knew her from Jr. high and im going to miss her very much and it is hard not to cry...

I remember the "game nights" we would have at Walt and Jenny's house while we were in High School his kids and all of there friends spread out in the living room playing Cranium. I also had the pleasure of playing "Church League" softball against Walt for the past 4 years and each season I would look forward to our game with Simi Church of Christ. We had this special competition between us the only way I can describe it is very competitive but very loving. One thing is sure, Walt was a great man, a great husband, a great father, and a great follower of Christ. I will miss him.

My dear nephew Chris, I, too remember when you graced this world by coming into it , and now you grace it too as you leave. And in-between that much to short of time you gave such caring, patience, hope, love and joy to all who knew you. Some of us were fortunate enough to be your family, others your friends, whom you made feel `like` family. Everything that all these other's have written about you is only part of all our feelings, we could never truly express it all here.

To Donna & Roy you did a superb job, he learned from you all the things that made him the special man he was. You can be nothing but extreamly proud of your son.

To Heath & Shaun, you have had an incrediable role model to shape your life with, when your younger you don't always see things that way, but as you get older and have family's and live's of your own as you do now, then you see.

To Patte, as a Grandma too, I cannot even imagine your pain & loss, my heart hurts for you.

To Sharon, Sammie & Katie, I don't think I can even say to you anything to help you with this horrible, and un-believable pain in your hearts, so I won't try. You only had each other for a short time, your lives together had just begun, we don't know why these things happen, there are no answers, now... I love you, I pray for you.

To my brother Ted & nephew Garrett, I love you both so much.

And to all the rest of the family, the loss of your beloved Chris will be only be made a little easier knowing how very much he was respected ,charished, and loved, he will always be with all of us, he may be gone from our sight but never, ever from our hearts.

~ We Will love you till the day after forever~

MY DEEPEST CONDOLENSE AND PRAYERS TO THE LONG'S FAMILY AND FRIENDS... GOD BLESS YOU ALL ..

I saw you on the news pleading for the safety of your daughter and my heart broke. I prayed that you be one of the lucky ones and find her.
It pains me to learn that she is among the 26 lost in the accident. My heart truly hurts for you and your circle of loved ones. May God be with you during this very difficulet time and may your beautiful Maria rest in all eternity.
You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
God Bless You...

MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO HIS FAMILY AND FRIEND. GOD BLESS YOU ALL IN THIS TIME OF SORROW...

I lost track of Chris for a little while after he left Adelphia. As for many of us, it was sad to see him go. It was sad because Chris was the light in everyone's heart. His sense of humor was the best and in all the business inter-actions and challenges at Adelphia, he always found a way to resolve them. Chris was funny and a straight shooter he told it like it was.

The last time I saw my dear friend was at the entrance of the Catholic Church in Camarillo. He greeted me with that big smile even though, that it was under sad circumstances.

Chris, as you know, my family and I are praying for you and your family (Sharon, Katie and Sammie). We are praying He will welcome you with opened arms. I will also pray that when I go, you will be there at the entrance to welcome me again.

Take care, my brother and friend in Christ.
