Chrissy Boo, It is March 2006 and I am sitting at my computer working on the 2nd annual Chris Schindler memorial Cutting. I wanted to let you known that the ACHA will host the Memorial Cutting this year at the Washington County Fairgrounds in Brenham Texas. Everyone is very excited about the cutting in your honor and memory. We will once again send the proceeds to The Christopher Schindler Research Fund at UMDF to assist in there efforts to find a cure for this disease. Kyle and Katherine are doing great and they send there love. Keep a watch over us as you always do. We Love You! Dad

I can't tell you how many times that Chris seems to come to my mind...so very many. I send prayers to let him enjoy those things that we talked about that he said he would like to do when he went to be in Paradise with Our Lord. It's almost like when in prayer that I get to Chris's name and I say to The Lord "now, about Chris...(I can just feel The Lord smile)...Chris is so special to him also..(and to prove how special Chris was...He gave Chris to a very special family to be cherished and loved for awhile...I can't think of any more perfect fit than the family Chris was a part of while on this earth..The Lord must really have a deep love for all of them...to have given them such a precious soul for awhile.)

Hello my love,

I was missing you so much last week especially on Wednesday. Thank you for the wonderful dream and coming to visit me on Wednesday night. It was so good to see you - so happy and handsome you are. You will always be so special to me-the person in my life who taught me how to be a better person in so many ways. I continue to try to be close to Jesus in all that I do - thank you for the great love and lessons.

Kat, Kyle and I have started a mito support group here at the house for families who have a child affected with mitochondrial disease. We are going to meet again here in May. I have also come up with a board of directors for a UMDF chapter here in Houston. We also have our first meeting in May-one of your doctors, Dr. William Craigen, will be on the board along with friends and some of the parents from our support group. We want to plan the best ways to raise some money for UMDF and how to best help the families affected, and raise awareness of the disease in this area. You are with me always. I pray for you, please pray for me, Kyle and Kat. Thank you for everything you do for us.xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo, Mom

I miss your precious hugs and your silly phone calls....the other day i was talking to one of my silly co-workers and i said "you crazy"...and I thought of you right away and just chuckled to myself. I miss you always and please watch over all of us....ask God to send some rain for all the cattle. We love you always!!!

Deb, Kyle and Kat. As I was sitting here reading tonight (it is 2 am) and Chris came to me in such a rush that I had to come to his website. I have been going through all the different things on here and I cried and laughed all at the same time. I don't know why he came to me but he did and all I can sit here and think is that he is so loved. I feel his presense so strongly right now that I feel he is sitting here watching. Chris touched so many people while he was here with us and it appears that he is touching even more from his spot up in Heaven. I just wanted you all to know that Chris is sitting here with me now (as I am probably the only person up at this time of night) and I wanted to say Thank You for sharing such a beautiful and wonderful person with the rest of us.
God Bless you all.

Hey Chrissy,
Tomorrow it will be 2 years since you started your afterlife! I bet at this point you think that is a wrong name for where you are-more like The Life, huh. I wanted to tell you that the birthday party for you that we had was so great because your love was everywhere. It was so fun hearing all of the wonderful stories about you. Thank you for being there and spreading your warmth and love to all of us. We will always misss your physical presence but love feeling and knowing you are with us so much. You are a wonderful person and continue to be a light and guide in my life and Kyle and Kat. We love you so much and know that Mimi and you have been having a wonderful time. xoxo Mom
