Today is Oct 28, 2009. I went to a church outing here in Albany Ga, called Candyfest @ Sherwood Baptist church. There were children there with their Halloween costumes on. I saw Batman and thought of you. I saw Spiderman and thought of you. This is the time you would be among us at a gathering in your costume. But you have the best costume you could ever have. YOU are my Angel. I know you are your families Angel but know you are mine as well. I know you look down to us everyday and see the tears and love that everyone has for you. Even those who like myself never got the chance to know you. I know its late to say this but if i had known you, you would have been like my own. I would cherish and love you as you were my child. I love you and your family thru GOD himself. Still praying and loving you always and forever. I will never forget you and your smile. I will do my best to make you proud and assist your family and friends with whatever it takes to make the time you were here worth every second and even the time you were taken from us. Justice will be your my Angel.

There are no words.... (not even those spoken by the judge who gave one of the sick b*st*rds the death penalty).... That shall console your hearts.

Nothing replaces Christopher. My heart goes out to everybody who loved Christopher. Thank you to those who helped this family when in need. May God bless you all.

Now you will be reminded two more times when the parents are convicted (wishful thinking).... when the system should not even give sick b*st*rds as such a fair trial. They are not deserving of one!

God bless Christopher and his loved ones.

 

I came acrross this tragic story just today and I am just heartbroken!!  I can not believe a human being can do such horriable things to a child let alone their own.  I'm so sorry and my heart goes out to you.  Christopher sure was a hansome boy.  God Bless You!!!

 

Grandma don't cry

I'm not far away

I live in you heart

Forever to stay

I know that you love me

And miss me so

But God had a plan

And I had to go

So Grandma please

Try not to be sad

Take care of my brothers

Watch after my Dad

I'm happy here

In Heaven above

With my Papa Louis

He sends you his love

It beautiful Grandma

I wish you could see

All of the love

That's given to me

All of the hugs

And kisses I get

But Grandma your kisses

I will never forget

Tell Jessie I love her

And I miss her to

To try to be happy

And to watch over you

Trust In the Lord

He will stay by your side

Grandma I love you

Grandma don't cry.

 

 

I just happened upon this story about Christopher and the more I read the more I cried.  I can't say I'm sorry enough for the lost of your family.  I will share this angel's story so that he will never be forgotten.

My prayer is that he and my nephew (Suave) are in heaven playing baseball in the clouds.

Poem written by Sandra Cooper for Christopher.

 

 

I Cry

I cry for a little boy
That I never knew
I cry for a family
Broken in two
I cry for a Daddy
Who lost his dear Son
And must carry this burden
Till his life is done
I cry for a Grandma
Who will never again know
What it feels like to hold her little boy close
But I know in my heart
That Christopher's near
That he see his Daddy's
And his Grandma's tears
That he holds them close
When they sleep at night
And tells them he loves
And all is alright
That he's happy now
In Gods loving light
And his Grandpa Luis
Is always in sight
That he plays with the Angels
In the clouds up above
There's no sadness or pain
Only pure love
So when you feel the sorrow
In life is to much
Look up at the sky
And you'll feel his touch
That beautiful smile
You will see once more
When Christopher's waiting
At Heaven's door.

Christopher, The story of your brief and beautiful life has touched my soul.  I pray that you are enjoying a blissful afterlife and that you are shining down on your parents and little bro.  I read today that justice is being served on the first of your three murderers, and I am glad.  RIP angel boy.  RIP.

GOD IS SOOOO ABSOLUTELY GOOD!

I am in tears right now, uncontrollably.  I waited with baited breath when this child went missing, worried while we searched, and mourned when his lil broken body was found...

Today I am overjoyed!! Just read that that monster David Edenfield was convicted and SENTENCED TO DEATH for this heinous crime.  I kno the family must be elated.

1 down, 2 to go!

Thank God.

My prayer are continually with you all.
God Bless*

 

Although, I didn't  know Christopher, personally I still feel like it's my place to say a few words for him. I have a 6 year old right now and I don't know what I would do if I was to lose him, but definitely lose him in such a matter would be even more devastating. Young Christopher had a precious soul and it's still here walking amongst us in spirit. I don't understand how people could bring them self to do such an act. My son's middle name is Christopher and they resememble, I just hope that the guy who did this gets everything he deserves, young Christopher is too young to have had to gone through such a harsh thing, I hope that the family and friends are moving on with their life but still praising him and using Christopher's death for awareness to everyone else.

 

Love

Portia

 

May his soul RIP

Your precious child is in Heaven with the other Angels.

 

My heart reaches out to your family. I read the story and could never image the pain you and yours have endured. Have faith in God, almighty.

 

May God bless you and your family and help you all the days of your life.

 

 

I just read about this little angel that was taken at such a young age, and I couldnt believe what I was reading. One got the Death Penalty, 2 to go. I hope they all rott. As for Christopher, I wish I had known you or been there to help you. But I know that your with god now and watching over your family. I will always pray for your family and I will always keep you in my heart. RIP and god bless you little Christopher.

RIP Christopher We Will Never Forget You!!!

Today justice was served on one of the monsters that took such a beautiful life.For the parents and grandmother I am sure it still will not take the pain.I hope that this will help the loss you feel.I know he was smiling down on you when justice was served.I will pray for the entire Barrios family,God bless you all,and Christopher too.

 

                                                                                                           

Barrios Family and Friends,

 

I hope today's verdict brings you a little peace although nothing can replace all that you've loss.  I pray that it will allow you to just focus on loving Christopher from a distance and the wonderful day when you will be reunited.  God Bless you and I will continue to pray for you during these trying times. 

To the parents and family members of Christopher, my condolences go out to all of you.  I am a parent of 3 children, and can't fathom what you all must go through every day missing your precious beautiful boy.  I am praying justice will prevail for your family and Christopher, nothing that our justice system could do to these animals would be a sufficient enough punishment.  I do pray for your entire family and hope with each passing day that you  always know Christopher is with you and watching over all of you, always remember his beautiful smile and thank god and the heavens you were able to know him and love him.  I am so very sorry for your loss, God Bless you Christopher and your family, may God always be with you -

GOD WILL PREVAIL!

I am so so very sorry for your loss. Your precious angel Christopher was absolutely beautiful. My heart hurts for you. May God grant you peace in time.

Dear Christpoher,

 

 I never got the pleasure of meeting you, but I know you were a joy to behold. I just want you to know that I'm so very sorry for what happened to you. You did not deserve what happen no one does. And the world owed you its protection and we failed horribly. It saddens me so much that your not here with you family any more. But those that did the horrific thing to you wil suffer by the hands of the Lord that you now reside with. You have nothing to fear now from them. The Lord will make sure that they pay behind bars (here on this earth). And after this earth they will meet our father and regret ever harming such an innocence. Christopher you are loved & missed by everyone! God keep you always and God bless your family.

Precious little boy. I'm so sorry that this happened to such a sweet little fellow like Christopher. My heart goes out to his parents and to anyone who knew and loved him. Just know that he is in the loving arms of his creator and that you will see him again someday in Heaven.

I wish I could trade my life for yours. How can someone do this to you?

Such a  beatiful child you were. Oh God. I know You had yours reason why you took

Christopher away. But I will never understand why taking him this way.
