My pregnancy with Chris was a much longed for but very tricky one. At 26 weeks i was rushed into
hospital with a low placenta and Mum said her prayers to get us though. All was well in the end
when, in October 1989, the birth of Christopher Patrick Dennis Higgins, my beautiful baby boy at
8lbs 12oz, made us proud parents for the fourth time.
You see, that turned out to be Chris's way - he'd choose the most mischievous path, the one laden
with mishaps and pranks, but he'd reach the end every time with that smile on his face and ready for
the next adventure.
He was a troublesome little devil at times, an artful dodger who pushed the boundaries and lived
life to the full. And it was those eyes, that cheeky, infectious smile and that naughty laugh which
made it all forgivable. We wouldn't have changed Chris for the world, then or now.
Anyone who knew Chris, even for just a short time, would be impressed for the amazing zest for life.
As one of our five childrenhe carved out his own unique personality and he grew into a charming,
good looking, sweet-talking and fun to be around young man.
But there was much more to Chris than the fearless "Jack the Lad" image that so many of us saw. He
was kind, caring and compassionate, often beyond his years and he was honest about his actions. He
looked after me and his grandad Paddy through some tough times. We'd giggle for five minutes before
he helped me up off the floor if I'd fallen - he was thinking of me and he made light of the
situation for my sake. People didn't think Chris took life too seriously but he looked out for his
family and his friends.
The things i have heard said about my son since he passed away have almost made me burst with pride.
The way one young man, my son, managed to touch so many lives in such a short space of time is
unbelievable. It's that enormous sense of pride, taken from the hundreds of people praising my son,
that has been the one comfort to me and our family.
The day of Chris's funeral, while being one of the hardest days of our lives was also one of the
proudest. Seeing a church so full of people, whose lives Chris had touched in some way, was
overwhelming. that praise is the greatest tribute I can ask for my son. We've found it's not just
family and friends that saw him as a great listener and good company. He was remembered by people he
had only met once. Chris was kind thoughtful and funny. His Dad and I light up when we hear people
talk about him.
He had a sense of humour and a knack for storytelling that those who were privileged to know him
personally will never forget. Chris had matured into a great person. A great son. A great brother.
And a great friend. Whether it was watching the match, at rugby, DJ-ing or listening to one of his
stories, every one of us, every member of his family and his friends has those moments with Chris
that they will treasure.
Chris's family are, and always will be, immensely proud of everything Chris was - a very special
young man, full of life, love, passion and fun. Chris had a sense of caring that not everyone saw,
but those who did were blessed.
Our cheeky monkey, our ray of sunshine is so wonderful to think of but so hard to be without. We
were blessed with 18 years of treasured memories with our five. We miss the stories, the laughs, but
most of all just having Chris here, at his best and full of beans.
Through all the heartache we will treasure the time we had. He is missed more than words could ever
express but the memories we have of Chris will keep us strong. Chris loved life and lived it to the
fullest. We can take comfort in that if nothing else now. He is unspeakably and profoundly missed by
those whose lives he touched. A son and a brother to remember with love and most all PRIDE.
All Our Love,
Mum, Dad, Billy jnr, Colette, Tom, Lucy

Tributes For This Week 12th October
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR MONDAY
Our thoughts are ever with you
Though you have passed away.
And those who loved you dearly
Are thinking of you today.
FOR TUESDAY
Everyday in some small way
Memories of you come our way.
Though absent, you are always near
Still missed, loved and always dear.
FOR WEDNESDAY
We can't have old days back
When we were all together.
But secret tears and loving thoughts
Will be with us forever.
FOR THURSDAY
Thank you for loving and sharing,
For giving and for caring.
God bless you and keep you,
Until we meet again.
FOR FRIDAY
God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you
And whispered "Come to Me".
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands now rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
FOR SATURDAY
Little did we know that morning
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
Your love is still our guide.
And though we cannot see you,
You are always by our side.
Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
FOR SUNDAY
Right now I'm in a different place
And though we seem apart
I'm closer than I ever was
... I'm there inside your heart
I'm with you when you greet each day
And while the sun shines bright
I'm there to share the sunsets, too
... I'm with you every night
I'm with you when the times are good
To share a laugh or two,
And if a tear should start to fall
... I'll still be there for you
And when that day arrives
That we no longer are apart,
I'll smile and hold you close to me
... Forever

See through the window,
Look at the light,
Smell the sweet flowers,
See the sky bright,
Shed not the tears,
As you feel I have gone,
Love never leaves,
And my spirit lives on.
In the hearts of those who love me.
Love Yvonne..xxxxxx

Is a gift to you above..
With it's wings of many colours
Made with love
You fly high..
Just like this beautiful butterfly
You fly past the stars..
And up to the moon
Oh why sweet angel..
Was you gone too soon?
You spread your wings..
Just like this beautiful butterfly
Go fly through the clouds
And up to the sky
With not a care..
You fly free
And if you can..
Fly home to me
copyright� Jackie Thomas 22/07/09.
With love for you and your special angel from Jill xxx
CLOSER TO YOU.
I Sometimes Ask The Lord
Why He Took You Before Me
And Though He's Never Answered
I Guess It Was Meant To Be.
I Tell Myself You're Watching
That You're Never Far Away
I Sometimes Feel The Slightest Touch
When I Bow My Head To Pray.
I Know Heaven Must Have A Window
With No Curtain To Hide The View
I Know You Must Stand There Often
And Watch Me Missing You.
I Know You're Helping Me Go On
You're Guiding Me Through The Pain
I Somehow Sense You're Telling Me
There's More Sunshine Now Than Rain.
Each New Day Now Dawns With Meaning
Something Inside Of Me Rings So True
Today Will Slip Into Yesterday
And I'll Be One Day Closer To You.
* •.♥.•** •.♥.•** •.♥.•** •.♥.•*
Somewhere beyond the sunset,
where happiness never dies,
you live in a beautiful garden,
above the clear blue skies,
although we cannot see you,
you’re with us every day,
and all the love we have for you,
will never fade away.
