Not a day goes by that we don't miss you. Your smile, your laugh, your hugs and your wonderful sense of humor. We marvel at your accomplishments and imagine how far you would have gone if you had the chance. The friends you touched everywhere you went have guided us through the horror of life without you. Your brother and sister Marines have stood by us as you would have expected. We are grateful for the blessing you left behind. Your legacy and love of life continues through all who knew and appreciated you. You served your Country with pride and honor. You gave your life for the sake of others and their freedom. Your sacrifice will never ever be forgotten. I am so proud to be your Mom. Semper Fi Chris.....and I know you are with me always.

Cheryl Hodges, Mother
