I am not dying, not anymore than any of us are at any moment. We run, hopefully as fast as we can, and then everyone must stop. We can only choose how we handle the race.
Hugh ElliottThis memorial website was created to remember our dearest CHRISTOPHER MABES who was born in Texas on April 30, 1985 and passed away on November 20, 2007. You will live forever in our memories and hearts.
WHEN CHRISTOPHER WAS A LITTLE BOY, HE LOVED TO VISIST HIS PAPA AND NANA. PAPA TOOK HIM FISHING, HUNTING, SHOWED HIM HOW TO PREPARE A FISH AFTER IT WAS CAUGHT.
PAPA IS CHRISTOPHER'S HERO, HE AWAYS WANTED TO BE LIKE HIM.
NANA WAS HIS FIXER, LISTENER, SUPPORTER.
WHEN CHRISTOPHER GREW TO BE A MAN, HE WOULD NEVER FAULTER FROM HIS BELIEFS. HE WAS PRIDEFUL, STRONG, AND ALWAYS TRIED TO MAKE IT ON HIS OWN. NEVER WANTED TO ASK FOR HELP.
HE BECAME A FATHER AT THE AGE OF 20 YEARS OLD. HE PLAYED WITH HIS DAUGHTERS ( CHEVELLE, MERCEDES) HE TOOK THEM FISHING, HE TOOK THEM EVERY WHERE, BATHED THEM, CHANGED THEIR DIAPERS EVEN TOOK THEM TO WORK. HE LOVED THEIR LAUGHTER, THEIR PLAYFULLNESS HE TAUGHT HIS DAUGHTERS HOW TO LOVE. AFTER HIS PASSING HE HAD A 3RD DAUGHTER NAMED AFTER HIM , CHRISTINE. WHOME I AM SURE HE MET HER FROM HEAVEN.
HE LOVED CARS, FISHING, HUNTING, SITTING ON HIS FRONT PORCH AND WATCHING THE DEERS PASS BY.
HE LOVED HIS NANA'S SPRING ROLLS, HIS PAPA'S FRIED RICE AND PIZZA.
HE LOVED AND HELP GUIDE HIS BOTHERS , ANDREW AND ETHAN, AND HIS SISTER, GABRIELLE.
HE MET A STRANGER, HE WAS OPEN,HONEST, GIVING, AND RECEPTFUL.
HE WAS A HARD WORKER, HE WANTED HIS FAMILY TO NEVER DO WITH OUT.
I MISS YOU SON, AS I WRITE THIS WITH OPENS TEARS, I REMEBER THE SONG "FOREVER YOUNG". I PRAY AS YOUR MOTHER THAT I SERVED YOU WELL.
MISSING YOU, MISSING YOU. I CANNOT WAIT UNTILL THE DAY YOU AND I MEET AGAIN. THEN MY TEARS WILL FADE, MY GUILT WILL WITHER, MY WHAT IFS WOULD BE ANSWERED. I LOVE YOU
