Yet another Year / Rich (Husband) 06/02/08 Christy,
I am sorry i have not posted on your site in some time, you and Justin are always in my thoughts and prayers, So much has changed over the past 4 years i don't think i would even know where to begin to tell you but then again maybe you are looking down upon us sometimes and you have seen all of it unfold and i am sure at times you have gotten a real kick out it. It is funny i still remember so many details about this day i think it will be something they will be with me forever, I am doing my best to make the right choices for out boys you would be so very proud of them i have been great they are going to be fine young men. They will always remember all the wonderful values you instilled in them. I promise you i will always raise them in the way you would have liked. Life has changed so much for me sometimes i wonder if i make good decisions, you would be proud thou i have myself in a pretty good routine now i am taking very good care of myself doing the one thing i have always wanted to do the gym has treated me very well and it is place that sometimes is the very best therapy for me i am often in there and i think about our beautiful baby and i can't help but wonder what he sounds like what he looks like now and i would give anything to here his voice or just touch one more time, just to hug him and let him know his daddy misses and loves him so very much, I know he with you and in a very wonderful place but i feel selfish at times and wish things where different maybe the way they where at times. Take care of our baby and watch me and boys your always in our heart
Chris you where a wonderful wife and mother and i miss you dearly Love you forever and always Rich
.. dear mom.. / Jon Harding (Son) Its been a while now since I last wrote, im almost 18.. I get my drivers license in two weeks, I wish you could see, I wish you were here! A lot of people think I live life as if your forgotten, but your far from that! Some times I think back, I live in shame, some days I’m careless and live life as if nothing happened.. but that’s not true… some days I live life for my self not for you.. not for GOD.. BullFrog and I found a new church too, at first it seemed god was changing me and my faith was growing, but now I have grown apart again, I’m trying my best!.. but the temptations of life and the sins that engulf me and my soul overwhelm me.. but then I think about how you wanted me to live, you raised me well, but am I really fallowing that path!!??.. I’m trying but things seem so hard and a loose so much faith. This home still doesn’t feel like home! The life feels so fake and plastic! But in reality.. will life ever be real?.. my friends miss you, you should see Elena now, she is so pretty! I brag about you still, how you were the coolest mom ever.. I wish I could show people. I thank you so much though, you raised me so well, you taught me everything.. with out you I wouldn’t be me!.. I know heavens treating you well, but it would be nice.. if I could feel your touch to guide me out of this hell… guide me with your light .. for I am lost.
Love yours truly and yours only
Jon Lee
Merry Xmas Christy / JANICE ANTONUCCIO (Mother-in-Law) Merry Xmas Christy - It does not seem possible that another xmas is here. I know how much you loved xmas and family. You would be so proud of your boys and Rich. The other night when I put Jeremy to bed he was talking about you and how you would be a teacher now. We all miss you. Xmas is not quite the same without you and Justin. But some day we will all be together again. Take care of Justin and watch over your boys and Rich. We love you. Merry Xmas Christy Love always Janice
My Sweet Little Cousin / Tammy Lontz (Cousin) You had one of the biggest hearts I've ever seen. You were always thinking of others, very selfless and loving just like my mother. Two of the sweetest people in the world. And little Justin too. Why did God take you all ? Right after the accident, my mom found out about her cancer, and in a few months God took her to be with you and Justin and Granny Tripp. I cry as I wtite this 'cause I loved you and miss you and I'm thinking about how close and LOVING our family is. Your mom and I went to a Christian concert last night and we held each other and shed tears of all emotions, tears of sadness as we miss you, Mom, and Justin, but at the same time, tears of joy from JESUS who lives in our hearts, and he is the reason I know we will see you again soon. I kiss your pictures and I say,"Life is so short... I will see you in the blink of an eye." For now I will try to be like you Christy. You and Mom. Sweet and kind and always thinking of others. Thank you Christy for being a mentor to my little Shauna. She saved all the letters that you wrote to her when she was going through hard teenage days. You were a good example for her. I hope and pray one day she will be a good wife and mother like you were. You didn't have an easy road yourself, but you made good choices Christy with the help of the Lord, and your sweet Christian mother that he gave you. I'm so proud of you!! Now why didn't I say that to your face??? Please God let little Christy read this. And Christy please forgive me for losing close contact with you when you guys lived in Fredericksburg. I didn't get to know little Justin, but I understand he was a little YOU. And now I am soooo sad on what I missed. I can't forgive myself, but I hope you and God will. Well I LOVE YOU little cousin and I will see you SOON.
Love, Tam XXOO
Merry Christmas / Richard Antonuccio (Husband) Merry Christmas Chris i know your having i wonderful Christmas with our baby boy, so much has changed this year but it still very different without you and Justin, Our boys have grown so much little Jeremy I think needs new pants every week and Jon is old enough to drive, it is so amazing watching them change and grow up, they are doing so great i know when you look down on us you smile.

So sorry... / Kurt Kinzel Rich- There are no words to convey my sadness for you and for Jon. I just discovered this tribute page, and it was a shock to find out Christy is no longer with the living. To lose your spouse is a terrible tragedy, and something I worry about myslef. I can not begin to image the emotions, or the hardships, or the healing involved. I sincerely hope you are doing well, and that the pain of losing her has lessened with the passage of time.
Sincerely, Kurt
your loved ones angel day / Julie
Thinking of you today on your loved ones angel day xxxx
It doesn't seem to get any easier not having you here with me, i seem to be thinking about you more and remembering so many wonderful memories that we shared together, there is so many, all of which are ingrained in me and i will never forget a one of them, you where such a wonderful person and mother, i don't think i will ever meet a another person that has a heart as large and as warm as your was. I love you Christy
Love you forever and ever Richie
..sympathy/ Jon (son)
I have noticed now times will be hard.. not just for me but others as well, but we always come through. some times I ask my self if maybe you help me through these days, I noticed just this morning though that even if it is you gods hand is always going to be there to fix a problem, wipe the tears away or maybe just speak a few words of sympathy down on me. Some times I feel like I have been lost for so long, maybe i am. With out you life seems almost impossible.. its so hard to carry on in a life so cold as if my life was normal.. when really its not. I looked at a few people that lost somebody.. maybe there mom or wife.. and I asked myself did they really love them.. to tell you the truth I new I loved you from the start how could a son not love a mother as awesome as you.. and a family just a we bit loony ,but I didn't relies how much I loved you or Justin nor did I relies how much id miss you guys.. till you were gone.. I didn't relies how much I leaned on you or how much I depended on you till you were gone... and you know people are right when they say you don't know what cha got till its gone
Love always jon lee
Broken/ Jon Harding (son) often i ponder about how disoriented my life is, how deranged this life is with out you, and pain drips, seeping from my heart! my heart once shown with luster, withers away into despair.my life once felt like it shimmered in gold, now it feels heartlessly cold. yes a smile still remains, but truely sorrow sank deap into these vains , hearken, for the heart-renching sound of my weeping-willow soul! there is nothing further to sey this world has bourn my whole life away
Sweetest word every heard, “Dad” / Paul Harding (Father)
Precious child, relentlessly I search the crevasses of my god given soul, the evil darkness of sleepless nights, my forsaken heart, the inconsolable pain, and the lost chaos clinched days, for not.I need you.Surrender all, for damned am I to live with this emptiness.How sweet your wanted voice, your touch.Precious child, how so much we need you.
my insperation my only strength is you mother / Jon (son)
you know mom there are so many questions still un answered and so much more I wish I could tell you it seems you where the only person I could ever talk to and I gained so much respect from you and for you mom you where and are the best I could wish for and there’s nothing more to say to that I miss you dearly but I hang on because I know I have to be strong I know what you would want from me and giving up is not an option of my own and I am glad of everything I learned from you...I always new some one was here for me. I miss coming home to our old house and all those old memories I miss coming home to you and your smile.. I miss your voice and I think what I regret most was ever telling you I hated you but I know you knew I didn’t mean it it still hurts that I could ever say such a thing to some one like you.. its so hard to choke down that you are gone away to god and his kingdom but you know ill see you again though I wish you where still here so when I cried u where there so on Christmas maybe I could have smiled and meant it more and I just wish things could be better and I’m sure they will be as long as I know your love is for ever and you wont let me go.. you look down on me day after day.. And I know you watch me grow up.. and you know today in class I read the poem I wrote you that’s on here to my class and it made my teacher cry... I know she cared and she made me feel better I hope some day I will smile like you used to.. and I hope some day we will see you again
I Love you momma and I miss you
I know my heart aches I know my heart bleeds but my soul pleads for healing my heart seeks your touch is that so much to ask is this so hard a task black glass is my heart crack in the middle falling apart only your love an un breakable art could start to heal these wounds you do it with ease your angel kiss nothing but a breeze upon my cheek still i seek your Rosen beauty and your sweet sounding voice I made a choice a deal with god on cloud eleven I gave him my soul so I could meet you in heaven
This Christmas seemed harder to get through then the first Christmas without you and Justin! I guess the first one still felt like it was all a dream. I helped Rich for a little while set up the Christmas tree this year and it was heart breaking and we just made each other laugh the whole time to get through it. I returned to First Night in Fredericksburg this New Years Eve..I hadn't been since the last time I was there with you and the boys. I brought Jeremy with me and when it came time for the pear to drop I was over come by emotion looking at Jeremy and remembering how much fun we had that New Years when we were all together! Our family is definately missing it's added spark without you here!
Love, Shell
Christmas without you / Jon (Son) Happiness is a dream that just won't ever come true...this Christmas night a nightmare without you ..so i sit alone and wonder oh lord what do i do...ponder in my room ponder about you these memories that we shared now sharp and glared resemble my broken heart..my heart still bleeds wishing you where still near..wishing maybe you where still here though i miss you dearest mother...and wish upon you little brother i can't help but cry tonight even though i know your in heaven; Gods hands smiling down upon us all, I can't help and stop the tears that begin to fall..
Love you Jon
Merry Christmas Chris / Richie (Husband)
I still can't believe your gone, I never thought I would spend a Christmas without you, this was always the time the year when we would reflect back on the past year and see how to make the upcoming year even better. I miss the excitement in your eyes with the anticipation of seeing our boys opening there presents and just be able to spend a wonderful day with each other and our family. I miss opening your Christmas card to see all the wonderful things that you would write that would make feel like I was so very special to you. You always knew what to say and how to say it; your words would just brighten up my life. We had shared so much and so many wonderful memories together I remember asking to marry me by your moms Christmas tree, every where I turn every where I look there is memory of you. I miss more than I will ever be able to write or express in words, you made my life so wonderful and there will never be a day a holiday that I will no think of you and how very much I miss you and love you. I love you now and forever Chris.
Love you Richie
In Memory of Christy / Maureen Sagiao (none) I am so sorry for the loss of your dear wife and son. You and your wife had a love that most people don't find in their lifetime. I pray that the Lord will always comfort you and give you the peace that surpasses all understanding. May He always shine His face upon you and your sons. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
My Deepest Sympathy for this enormous loss / Jim Oates A genuine wonderful person, I met Christy through her mother's family. She would always take the time to say "hi, how are ya?" and make me feel comfortable at family functions. From what I could tell she touched everyone's heart she came in contact with. She was a warm loving person and will be missed by more people than the family will ever know.
To my mom / Jon Harding (Son)
I know your body is gone but your soul is here with me no one and nothing will replace the love i had for you i will miss you mom
from Frankie / Frank Antonuccio (Brother-in-law)
I miss you everyday from our conversation to the laughs we shared.You where more than just my sister in law ,you where my sister. not a day goes by that your not in my thoughts .I know you are looking down on us. With all our love we miss you
