Christopher was killed on the 8th of May 2005.
He'd been on a night out with his best friend and was knocked down and killed by a speeding car on his way home just 2 yds from the front door.
Christopher was a lovely lad. He was such good company he always used to make me laugh.
When he was out with friends he always had to be the funny guy making everyone laugh and keeping their spirits up by talking in a funny voice or cracking jokes.
He was caring and loyal to his friends and always ready to listen when anyone was going through a bad time and likewise they would do the same for him. I'm so grateful that he had such a good set of friends and none of them were into drugs or anything like that.
He was a big Michael Jackson fan and would often get asked to perform the famous moon walk which christopher had practised over and over again from being quite small until he'd perfected it. All his friends used to love watching him do this, me included, he'd even tried to show me how to do it.
Christopher was also a very sensitive lad, we would sit for hours late at night talking about things and having a few drinks and listening to music. Christopher and I liked exactley the same music and we would often dance together in the lounge to our favourite songs. I miss him so much it physically hurts. I feel like part of my body is missing.
Christopher was my only child and we were so close. I brought him up on my own for the first 10 years of his life and we had such a bond. There are times when I feel I don't want to go on living but I know I have to.
On New Year's Eve 2005 it would have been Christopher's 21st Birthday. He had just recently passed his driving test first time and I was so proud of him. I'd promised to buy him a car for his 21st, and just shortly after his death I saw the perfect car for sale near where we live. I so wish he could be here to celebrate this. Now New Year's Eve will always be a sad time for us.
I miss you so much Christopher and you are in my thoughts every waking hour. I will always love you and you will be in my heart forever. I've not just lost a son, I've lost a friend too.

Dont really know how or where to start this but I would first like to say you didnt deserve what happened mate. 6 years is a long time but your face is still as fresh in my memories as if yesterday was the last time I saw you. I can still hear your laugh and remember your voice. I remember you, Dave Denison and myself would listen to Dizstruxshon in Mr Wilkinsons Technology class at good old sunny Brunny high... haha... the goons of the class would always moan and ask for the radio to be turned on.. haha,, we would just turn the volume up on that 1950's stereo.. ha.. Wolfman Wilkinson would taunt us about the football and try belittle us... ha... the good old days eh!!
I miss you Chris yano... people move on in life and alot of friends we had at school have all grown up and gone their separate ways but there always close to mind and 9 numbers to press on the phone and their only a phone call away. Sadly though Chris although your still close to mind I can only speak to you when I pray..
I hope the angels are taking care of you up there mate.. I bet your making them all laugh cracking your jokes with your cheeky smile and mischevious laugh... its true what they say about God taking the best of us first...
One day we will meet again Chris... One day mate, one day.
Love ya man... God bless ya soul mate.. x
S.J.Smith... Smitty... the class of 1996...
6 years, only seems like yesterday
I think about you every day. I miss our chats and your cheeky grin.
I wish you were still here. I never listen to music anymore, it just doesn't seem the same now. we spent hours chilling to our favourite stuff & having a dance. I have no one to do that with now.
Loving you always
from Mum xx

Chris
We'll always remember that morning, nothing could've prepared us for the news we were given. As with the passing of famous people, we could give a detailed account of the morning's events even now.
There isn't a week goes by that something is said, or happens on TV which brings back a reminder of times gone by. Gone but definitely not forgotten.

Chris, I need you now. I need to talk to you, I need just to hear your voice one last time. I love you so much and I would give absolutely anything to have you back for just one day. Good night my angel, sleep well x
To my darling Son on his Birthday
You never said "im leaving"
you never said goodbye
you were gone before I knew it
and only God knew why.
A million times I needed you
a million times I cried
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place
thar no one could ever fill.
It broke my heart to lose you
but you didn't go alone
for a part of me went with you
that day God took you home.
All my love always
from Mum x
Chris, my darling. I really really want to see your face again, hear your voice just one last time. I just want to be able to say goodbye properly. I want to be able to come to you with any problem that I may have, to be able to let you know my results tomorrow. I'm so scared it's untrue! I want to be able to actually see you reading my christmas cards, birthday cards, opening your presents. I want to see your children, be part of their lives. I miss you so much. I just want you back now. I can't stop crying. Please come home soon. x
I miss you xxx
A thousand times we needed you
A thousand times we cried
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died
A heart of gold stopped beating
two twinkling eyes closed to rest
God broke our hearts to prove he only took the best
never a day goes by that you’re not in my heart and my soul.
