Chris touched so many lives in this place. Every year I keep thiking peoples' passionate emotions over his pasing will start to mellow, but they don't. Many words of love and honor were said for/to him during his sumbel Saturday. There were tears, but laughter also. Derek called him the heart of the shire. Tommaso related stories about building the showers and cutting down trees. Others shared other memories. Jenny told us how Chris loved Monarch butterflies and how she always says, "Hi Chris." when she sees one. She called him her older brother.
It only occured to me afterwards how Chris is sort of our own personal Balder here in Eisental. Chaos felled him in this life when he was still young and beautiful, but he lives on.
