  13. candleChris, we started out in Bayshore a million years ago. You were opinionated, strong willed and always defended the ones you loved and worked with. You made my friend Steve so happy. You created a beautiful life together with your animals, your family and friends and of course with each other in the dream home you created. You are on good company in Heaven with those who were waiting to welcome you. Enjoy your reunions but mostly enjoy the eternal life that God promised you. Your faith never wavered. God bless and keep you always ❤️❤️❤️

    May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

  34. Mocha Coca Poca Roca!!! I will never forget that morning i was filling the bakery case with rolls and you walked up with your hat and apron tucked in your arm & that smile we all loved. You came to help us and that’s exactly what you did. You made everyone in that bakery/deli & the whole store happy just with your presence. Those were some great times we had there & i will remember them forever. Sadly the older we get the more people we have to see leave us but you will always live on in our hearts & minds Chris. You are now dancing with Donna & your beloved family. Rest well my friend i’ll see ya when i get there. 💙
