This is my personal dedication to Chrissy. She came into my life for only a season but she touched me in a way that will stay with me forever. Chrissy had a way of making me laugh even when I felt like crying. She taught me so much in the short time I knew her. I will never forget her and will keep this website open until I leave this earth to join Chrissy once again on the other side. At times I look up and talk to her...she may not be able to hear me...but it makes me feel better anyway.

    I feel privileged to have been able to provide a few laughs into Chrissy's life too. I was honored enough to have given her a chance to get away shortly before she fell ill and passed away. The expression on her face was priceless when we flew to Orlando, Florida on her 1st plane ride. She spent so much time looking out the window she rested her head on the window post and feel asleep...we had stayed up all night the night before...neither one of us could sleep due to the excitement of the upcoming trip. When she awoke shortly before landing she had a little mark right in the front of her forehead that took 2 days to go away.....I laughed so hard I thought I was going to pass out....While in Orlando Chrissy stayed at the Florida Mall Hotel, which is exactly like it sounds....A MALL....She would spend her days shopping. Below is the Mall map showing the hotel located attached to the mall. I guess you could say it was a lady's dream come true. Get up in the morning and walk out of your room straight into the mall with over 260 stores. It took her 3 days to get around to most of the stores.

     In the evenings we would go for a swim before jumping in a taxi and finding a new spot to eat supper. Which by the way was Chrissy's first taxi ride. One particular evening we decided to go to a diner theatre. We visited the Sleuth Dinner Shows. We ate prime rib while participating in an interactive clue game. It was hilarious. We had our picture taken at the table while we were there which, Im sorry to say was the last photograph of Chrissy. I feel honored to have been by her side in it. While in Florida Chrissy bought her first lottery ticket....we didn't win...but had fun trying. The reason she purchased one was very odd. The evening started out with she and I being given a free soft drink, we thought nothing about it. on the way to grab a bite to eat we hailed a taxi who drove us to a steak house with an open porch. When we arrived the taxi driver didn't even charge us for the ride...ok we thought this very strange this was the second time this evening we had been lucky. At the restaurant we sat on the open porch to eat our meal and enjoy the cool breeze blowing and the clear night sky. All the stars were shining so brightly. As we were eating our waiter came over to us and apologized for the delay in getting us our food. To us it didn't seem like a long wait but we told him that was ok. Shortly after that the manager came to us and apologized once again and told us that the meal was on the house....we couldn't believe it...this was the third stroke of luck in only a couple of hours. While she and I sat there reviewing the evenings events we decided that we should test our luck even further...but we couldn't decide which of us was having the lucky streak or if it was both of us. This was on a Wednesday night and it was nearing time for the lottery drawing. We decided to buy a ticket so we each bought one at a quickie mart near the steakhouse. We then called for a taxi and they told us it would be about 10 min. After 15 min I started to call them back when a kind gentleman came up to us and asked if he could be of assistance. We told him our taxi was late and he offered us a ride since he was going in our direction. We accepted. The kind gentleman was a service technician who had just gotten off work at the local Wal-Mart service center. Although he didn't want compensated for giving us a lift I managed to talk him into taking $10.00 for his kindness. Chrissy and I quickly ran up to our room and turned on the local television station to see if our lottery tickets will win. I left the room to get a bucket of ice and there in the soft drink machine was a drink, This was yet another spot of luck. As I brought the drink and ice back to the room we were both astonished at our luck this evening. We still had about 45 min till the lottery drawing so we started day dreaming about how we would spend the money. We talked about all the places we would travel. If we won we were not flying directly back to Louisiana. We were planning on grabbing a ticket to a mountain location to spend yet another week. As fate would have it our luck ran out...the lottery tickets didn't even hit one number. Well I already felt like the luckiest man on earth just having spent the evening accompanied by Chrissy. After our flight back from Orlando, it was only 1 short week that Chrissy fell ill and ended up in the hospital. I would visit Chrissy in the hospital at every opportunity. Spending my lunch breaks there with her and seeing her in the evenings when the doctors allowed. Unfortunately, during her hospital stay I had to fly to New York City, a trip that we planned for her to go with me for her first site of the Big Apple. While I was there I received the news that she had passed away, I immediately flew home. That day was one of the darkest days I believe I have ever had. My dearest friend Chrissy I love you and Miss you with all my heart.
