I want to share this
I received the below email Wed Aug 15, 2007 on Chris's birthday, 5mo after he passed. Chris was the computer tech for the Jefferson school district. Carol was his supervisor.
Hi Mari,
I am Carol's daughter Andrea and I work at Monticello . In the two years that I knew Chris he was such an amazing person. About a week after Chris passed away my 2 year old daughter was lying with me on the couch and the lights were off and we were watching TV when she asked who the man on the stairs was. I asked her what man? She said the man on the stairs that wants to get your purse. I said no one was getting my purse and that she needed to go to sleep. She would not go to sleep until I moved my purse next to her. For about a week after that every night she would tell me that the man was back and when I asker her if he was nice she said “yes” I asked her what he was doing and she said “playing.” I then decided I would show her a few pictures. I showed her a picture of my grandfather who passed 5 years ago to see if this was who she was seeing and she said “no.” I then showed her a picture of my boyfriend who had passed at the age of 22 (10 years ago) and she said no mommy that’s not him either. A few more days passed and it was after Chris’ services and I had his picture from the service lying on the counter and when I went to move it she said mommy that is the man on the stairs. At that point I knew that Chris was at peace and he wanted to let me know through her that he was doing great! I will forever cherish that memory that Chris let me know he was at peace.
Ever since I knew who was there she has not mentioned him. He will always live in my heart and memory. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t ask him to help me with a computer issue or just think of him.
Know that Chris is at peace and rest easier knowing that when you are sleeping or even during the day that he is by your side. You a Gary raised an amazing young man, Be very proud !
You and your family will always be in my heart and prayers
Take care,
Andrea
