Christopher Michael Barrios Jr.

From everyone in Chicago,Il ..god bless you and your family.
May justice be served and maybe they will some day change the law and really put these sick people away for life instead of probabtion.
Im very sorry for your loss.
One day you all will be reunited again.
Until then be strong keep your head up .

I can only imagine how many times you have questioned what you could have done different that day. I just want you to know any child on this earth is on a loan. We get to enjoy them for as long as their true Father allows us to have them. He was an Angel who had his wings on a long time ago and we just never knew it. Have Faith that he is in a better place. I regret the painful way he had to leave us but I know the memories you cherish are of all the happy times. Cherish these moments and know that He is sitting with God looking out for you...

God Bless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Do not let this allow your Faith to waiver... Have Faith he is setting up house for you in Heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My prayers  are with you and your family, I am  sorry you lost your chid to somrthing like this. Now God will take care of him. May God bless you and yours.

Barrios family and Friends,

 

I think about you and your beautiful baby daily and I will continue to pray for you.  I follow the news with the hopes that the outcome is as it should be.  During the upcoming months I will pray that god continues to give you the strength to fight, and the strength to keep going.  Oh, how I wish life was fair.   

Dear Barrios family. I saw this on the news some time ago and it just broke my heart as Christopher looked just like my son who is also 6. I can not imagine the pain you are all feeling. I feel so emotional about little Christopher. I am heartbroken for each of you. I am just so very sorry that this happened. He was/is such a sweet, precious, special little boy and now God has gained a very special angel. I wish you all peace. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. God Bless

our love and prayer goes to the family members of little christoper, who is  now in the ARMS OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST ( suffer the little childen to come unto me ) may the PEACE OF GOD be with you ALWAYS     

ITS HARD TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO SAY IN TIMES LIKE THIS....GOTTA TELL YOU THAT IT STILL IS HARD TO BELIEVE THIS HAS HAPPENED. SUCH A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE BOY WITH A SMILE THAT WARMS THE HEART...I HAVE CHILDREN OF MY OWN AND MY HEART GOES TO HIS PARENTS...LIL C HAS TOUCHED MANY LIVES AND MINE AND WE HAVE NEVER MET....IT HASNT BEEN THAT LONG BUT I HOPE AND PRAY TO GOD EACH AND EVERYDAY TO GIVE YOU THE STRENGTH AND GUIDANCE...HIS SOUL IS RESTING AND THERE IS NO MORE PAIN! I LUVE YOU LIL CHRISTOPHER...KEEP SMILING DOWN ON MOMMIE AND DADDY FROM HEAVEN....KEEP SMILING!

I don't know Christopher nor the family. However, my heart goes out to you guys!! We can never understand why and how something like this can or should even happen to such a precious child. I wished I could wrap my arms around you guys and give you a hug. I am so sorry this happened to you! Christopher is up in heaven helping to prepare a place for you guys so you can be with him! Keep your eyes on Jesus and He will help you through this. God Bless!!!

Christopher is in a better place, our family has your family in our prayers!

I heard of this sad event only yesterday and it touched my heart so deeply, I am so sorry to you and your family.. Please know that I pray that your sons spirit gives me wings to fight to stop this from ever happening again...I will never forget this for as long as I live...

I am so sorry about the lose that you guys have had to deal with. I tried leaving a condolence but I left it wrong and I apologize. I know that he's in a better place but that still doesn't take away from the pain that you guys have to go through each birthday and holiday. He's still with you all and my prayers are with you all. God Bless your family and stay strong.

I never knew someone so small could touch people in such a big way.

My little one went to Greer and though he didn't know Christopher, he'll never forget him. The whole community was forever impacted by this tragedy. Personally, I think about him. I hope he is enjoying heaven. I wonder about his family, is God giving them the strength they need to cope without him?

I, personally, can't even drive down canal road. I have been taking hwy 17 home for almost a year now. It's just too painful to drive down that road. I cried so hard for days when I found out what happened to him. It's unfair God allows that kind of evil to roam the earth. They will pay though. Don't worry about who the judge is and his past. God will make sure there is justice for Christopher! I also believe the Christopher Barrios Law will pass. No second chances. These monsters need to know that if they harm children they are going away for life. 

His six years may have been short...but they did count. He did make a difference. Know that he changed my way of thinking about alot of things. 

I am so sorry for your loss.

 

R.I.P little angel

 

WE WILL NEVER EVER FORGET 

Barrios Family and Friends,

 

I admired the strength that you have displayed throughout this ordeal.  You have not allowed Christopher to die.  He's alive in your hearts, minds, in your souls. You've shared him with so many people, this allows him to live and grow in our hearts and minds.  You've shown the world the love that surround Christopher when he was  here on earth  now in heaven.  When children pass on, often they are forgotten by those outside their circle of family and friends...but not Christopher.  Thanks to you we will not forget him and others will see his pictures and will share your pain, laughter, anger, and your love.   May god bless you and your mission 

PLEASE KEEP ALL OF US ON MYSPACE UP TO DATE ON THE PUNISHMENT OF THE HORRIBLE EVIL ONES..IF WE CAN HELP YOU SHOULD KNOW MOST WILL..I AM SO SORRY FOR YOU..HE HAD THE MOST BEAUTIFUL EYES..IM SO SORRRY  AND I HOPE YOU GET ALOT OF PRESS TO GET PEOPLE TO PUT THESE MOLESTERS AWAY FOR ALOT LONGER THAN THEY GET NOW! PLEASE TAKE CARE AND KNOW ALOT OF PEOPLE CARE SO MUCH!!! LOVE, KITTY

I did know that this week was going to be a tough week for all of us, but I never thought it was going to be as bad as it has been.

 

I have not been able to think of nothing more than March 8. Just seems that I can not get it out of my mind. Found myself reading a book that I purchased and absorbed at the early stage of Christopher's death.

 

This book was suggested to my sister in law when she lost her husband to colon cancer. "When bad things happen to Good People".

 

Here again it reinforces the fact that we are born with free will. We can do good, or harm to others. If the Lord was to control our actions, then we would not be free spirits. Then our lives would not be fully tested.

 

Some people will tell you that the Lord will come soon. Others say that it will not happen for sometime yet. Just to be in the safe side, I say we must keep our souls as clean as possible. Just in case he comes sooner than expected.

 

I am ready to meet the Lord today. I am ready to meet all deceased family members and deceased friends today. I look forward to the day that I finally meet Christopher.

 

We know that you are in heaven sweet angel. We know you have plenty of Great company. But we still miss you so Dearly.

 

Rest in Peace Sweet Christopher.

Christopher you are an amazing little boy. You have united so many people through our great love for you. It is so difficult to describe in words this love and grief I feel for a child I never met. I think Michelle's tribute really does a wonderful job of expressing what  I, and so many others, feel about you and your family. You will always be loved, you will always be missed and you will always be remembered. I know that the people who fell in love with you the first time they saw that beautiful smile of yours will be loyal to you until their dying day. That is the power of your spirit and your love, little Christopher. And the power of good, the power of your love, will always prevail over evil. We love you, Christopher!

To Christopher's family: I want to tell you how very honored and humbled I am to be allowed to love and honor your little boy. I think you are all very special, and I pledge my loyalty to you as well. You will always be in my heart and prayers alongside little Christopher! May God keep you and love you!

Oh how I dreaded this day to come but I knew it had to.  I think of Christopher so, so much.  I don't ask God anymore why this happened but when will we all be able to see him again. He is looking down over the ones he loved and smiling his handsome smile.  I want to hold him and hug him and let him know how he has changed my life even though I didn't know him.  God placed Christopher here to brighten our lives and he only took a short while.  Some people take many years to affect other peoples lives.  Not Christopher...... his memory will affect everyone for years and years to come.  May God be with all who were affected by this tragedy and ease and comfort their hearts.  I will pray for all who Christopher touched so much.  God be with us all at this time but most importantly the family of beautiful Christopher Barrios Jr.!!!!!

I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. Christopher was such a beautiful child, and while I did not know him, it does break my heart for the way he left this world. He didn't deserve that, no child does. I don't understand the amount of evilness that some human beings are capable of. One can only hope someday these monsters will pay for what they have done. My heart goes out to you and your family. You were obviously blessed, to at least have Christopher in that short time. He left you with amazing memories to cherish. May that sweet angel rest in peace, he is in the safe arms of God now, no one can hurt him anymore.

Barrios Family and Friends,

 

It's almost been a year and not a day goes by that I don't think of you and Christopher.  I will continue to pray for you, that somehow you can find some sense of peace and that justice will be served to its fullest.  Your family is forever in my prayers and forever in my heart.
