* Keeping our Angel's memory alive *  / Michelle Christian (Adopted mommy! )
A big bright star, newly placed in the sky,
Who else but Christopher, he now lives high!
Even though he knows he's dearly missed and loved,
His home is now where the stars are, he shines brightly above!
It's really ok to miss him, but please don't grieve,
For he's happier than ever before, this you can believe!
What a glorious blessing, to live up with the lord,
Especially little Christopher, he's really being adored!
Only God knew best, where he wanted his angel who onece
lived here on earth, 
God knew before Christopher came, he knew the day of his birth!
Christopher's journey in life was short and he left us all in pain,
But even though he left us to soon, he left us with challanges
to gain!
We now must fight for his memory and strive to keep it alive,
Because God has him now 24  7, he's always by his side!
Even though he's gone he'll never be forgotten, this I can assure you,
I will do all I can, to carry him on, because my love for him is true!
I solomly swear to write poems for Chris to ease the pain of other's,
The one's that hurt from Christopher's death, in Christ, we are
all sister's and brother's!
So please help me my friends, to carry on his name,
Tell everyone you know, about him, and I will do the same!
Thankyou all for reading, togeather we can truley make a difference,
We can still do alot togeather, even though, from each other
we may live a long distance!
                                          Rest in peace our sweet angel
                                          your name will be carried on,
                                          You have people standing behind
                                          you 100%,  who's love for you
                                          is strong!   Created with love
                                          from my heart, Michelle Christian:)

All of God's gorgeous creation's!!!  / Michelle Christian (Proud adopted mommy! )
When I think of Christopher, I think of all of God's gorgeous
creations,
Sunflower's,lilly's and even carnation's!
His nose is shaped like a pretty yellow rose,
His smile light's up like a lighting bug at night that glows!
His eye's are as green as freshly cut grass, 
When you glance at your lawn, you will have a blast,
His skin is as silky as a milkeyway bar of candy,
As your starting to notice, all of God's creations can really
come in handy!
All of God's gorgeous creations are beautiful to see,
It can remind us, of how christopher use to be!
Some of the very gorgeous things that we see everyday, will
remind us of him, you can find these gorgeous things growing in your garden on a stem!
Every now and then buy yourself a candy off the shelf,
Milkeyway preferably, it can be good for your health:)
Milkeyway candy is also a wonderful creation, God blessed man with the knowledge to make it, it can sometimes make
you thin, and let us not forget, it's as silky as christopher's skin!
At night,try to catch a lighting bug, but don't  keep em to long or even for a while, just long enough to see Christopher's gorgeous smile, then set  it  free so another may see,
What God's gorgeous creations, are really meant to be!
The next time you spend your saturday watering your grass 
because it is dry,
Stare at it for a moment, you'll be staring Christopher in the eyes!
As the sun rises each morning, go outside and enjoy the rays
of shine, it will be Christopher saying goodmorning, each and
every time!
At night as the sun begins to set, it will be Christopher letting
your children know, that it's time to go get in their beds!
After the children are tucked in their beds and you ,yourself find it hard to sleep for thinking christopher's just to far,
go outside on your patio, and watch the shining stars, he'll be one of the stars, im just not sure which one he'll be,
Im sure it will be the brightest one though, for everyone to see!
No matter what he'll let you know, that he'll never go away,
His body is gone forever, but his spirit is here to stay!
Just thank God that his gorgeous creations give us hope for tomorrow, so we can move on, and remember our angel Christopher, without living in so much sorrow! 
                               
          Made from the center of my heart to those who
          love and miss Christopher barrios!  Michelle Christian:) Close

You're my inspiration little man  / Tiffany Roehm (He's my inspiration )

Christopher.....you have changed my life.  When I heard of your story, I cried, I yelled out in anger at these people who took such a precious life from this earth.  You see, I have two sons.  When I look into the eyes of my oldest son who is 4, I see you.  When I hear my babies cry, I can hear you cry.  You did not deserve to be taken from your family and this world.  Your voice will be heard Christopher.  It has become my mission.  It has also become my mission along with others to take care of your beautiful family.  They want nothing more than to hold you again.  Please hold them tight....I know you are in their presence.  Bless you my little third son.  You have inspired me to fight for the rest of the children and I will never stop!!!  I love you little man!

Wishing this was a bad dream  / Edward Lee (none)

To the family of christopher, It has been three long months since this beautiful little boy was taking away from us, i say that because like so many other people i felt like he was a child of mine. I look at my son and i see christopher in him, i think that's why this has bothered me so much. I come to work and i load up my collection of material that i have and i say good morning to that boy every morning, and kiss his face like i do my own children. This is so tragic i go through the normal routine of being a parent and i feel so sad for michael because when i tuck my son in at night and sing songs to him and kiss him goodnight , i know that he would give anything in this world to be able to do those things again. When i watch the videos of christopher and hear him laughing it just breaks my heart because he is suppose to still be here enjoying his summer like all the other little kids his age. When spiderman 3 came out i got teary eyed because i know he would have been there with his brothers and sisters watching his favorite hero. I hope that every member of the edenfield family die a slow and painful death for wht they have done to that beautiful boy and his family. I wont ever forget about christopher, my son is only a year younger and they do the same exact things as little boy's. My son was batman last halloween just like him, and they even look alike. I don't even know why they have a trial this shit is cut and dry, and the family should be able to decide their punishment. I think about him several times a day, this could have been avoided, he should have never been allowed to play outside alone expecially when the family knew that george had been watching christopher all along. God bless you christopher for everything that you went through as what you were robbed of out of your life.

Hey Precious divine Angel  / Amel Johnson (Lost in this world )
How is Heaven ?

I hope you're having lots of fun there ! I am just dropping by to let you know, no matter how busy my day is, you're ALWAYS in the back of my mind, and in the front of my heart, precious love.

I miss you Christopher, I miss so with all my heart & soul. You have a special place in my heart. I am still hurt, and still licking my unhealed wounds, I wonder if they will ever heal, but in a strange, I want it to stay this way, so I can always remember you and to hold my child very near me.  I will only get solace the day I get reunited in heaven with GOD and get the pleasure of meeting you and playing patty cake with you !

Love always !

"My Poem" The presious face of an angel"  / MICHELLE CHRISTIAN (Adopted mommy! )
                        "The presious face of an angel"

The presious face of an angel, that only few can see,
It happened from the time he was born,
Only God knew what he'd be,
We all knew he was special, though we never had a clue,
That one day soon, God would come and take him right from you,
God knew he'd break your hearts,
Though his plan was long time set,
That one day soon, here on earth, 
Christopher's spirit he would get,
God didnt want to hurt you personally,
And he'd never do it intentionally,
For he only let you borrow his angel,
Untill he came back to get him perminately!
He's the presious face of an angel, that only few can see,
On the sad and gloomy days, look up in the sky, and there
Christopher will be!
Only few will see him, but you really have to believe,
And one day soon, God will enter your hearts,
And pain will be relieved! 
Your sorrows wont last forever, for all bad thinks must end,
Just remember, Christopher's with Jesus and Jesus is our friend,
Just know this my friends, this was all part of his plan,
UNITED WE ARE IN CHRISTOPHER'S LOVE, JUSTICE FOR CHRISTOPHER IN WHICH WE STAND!!! This Poem was made and Noterized, straight from the heart of Michelle Christian!!!!
Most importantly, Dedicated to Mike and Paula! Christopher is now with Jesus, free from all pain and heartbreak! He is now and will forever be, your little "CHERUB"  Sincerely, Michelle C Close

message to candle writers and condolence writers  / Anonymous Anonymous (administrator)
evidently there are some disgruntled people going around
the internet searching out memorial sites looking for poems
they have written being used with out their permission and causing a big fuss over them
 I say this  please please please if you use someone elses poem 
please give them an acknowlegement  
or write your own
thank you all so much

for our dear little brother
smiling down from heaven
sitting on a little cloud
listening to many a prayer heaven sent
bows his head in prayer
for his loving family
that has grown 
from a small couplet
to a thousand voices all in unison
crying out for justice
just for you little bro

Love / Wanda Sanders

To Julio  and Michelle  both poems are beautiful and emotional, and it is very difficult to comprehend the loss of Christopher in such a horrific manner.  I think and dream of this little angel everyday, and I to had been praying for his safe return from day 1, I was devastated by the outcome.  I cry for him everyday, and sometimes it is hard for me to focus.  I never knew Christopher but I would have given my life to save his precious life, he was so just a baby. But as we all know he is now with his heavenly father were there will be no hurt harm or danger to him again!! Christopher I love you and I pray for your family. I wish that I could get the opportunity to meet your father, and get a hug so that I can feel your spirit that lives within your father.  Have fun up there in the heavens lil buddy!!

A poem for a little angel.  / Julio Cuesta (Adopted grandfather )

I have been reading this poem to help me cope with the loss of Christopher. Even though I never knew of him before March 8, I have been praying for him ever since.

I know that he is with the Lord now and no longer needs our prayer. I know that nobody will ever hurt him again. But I don't think I will ever stop praying for him. The way we lost him, is just to hard to comprehend.

Just wanted to share this beautiful poem with the rest. I find that it helps me just reading it. Hope that it will help the rest of you.

May the Lord Bless Christopher's family.

Miss Me But Let Me Go.

When I come to the end of the road.
And the sun has set for me.
I want no rites in a gloom filled room;
Why cry for a soul that's is free?

Miss me a little
But not to long,
And not with your heard vowed low.
Remember the love that we once shared;
Miss me, but let me go.

For this is a journey that we all must take,
And each must go alone,
It's all part of the Master's plan.
A step on the road home.

When you are lonely and sick at heart,
Go to the friends and family we know
And bury your sorrow in doing good deeds;
Miss me, but let me go.

Missing Christopher  / Denise
Christopher was a beautiful child with a smile that lit up his face and made the light in his eyes dance.  The pictures in his memorials show a happy child that laughed a lot and knew he was loved.  I enjoy the video of him swinging and hearing his laughter while at play.  I visit his memorial sites daily and feel as though he were one of my own children.  He has a special place in my heart.

I know without a doubt that he is with Jesus.  I can visualize him running down the streets of gold toward the throne of God with a smile on his face .  Never again will he experience fear and pain but he shall always be bathed in the light of God.

Those individuals who robbed little Christopher of his life on this earth shall have to stand before God and answer to Him for their actions.

My condolences go out to the family, I can't begin to imagine what you have had to go through.  Thank you for sharing moments of Christopher's life with us.  I will never forget this young boy and his memory will always be with me.  Close

Christopher my little boys guardian angle  / Manuelito's Mommy (Just Broken Hearted )

Christopher you and my little boy would have been fast friends if you had met. Spiderman, Star Wars, and Batman you share in common and you even look a bit alike. Your passing has effected my like no others and you will never be forgotten. I also have no doubt that you watch over my little boy from heaven. Your memory will always be in my heart and when I think of you it reminds me of how lucky I am to have my son in my life. Some days I hug my little boy a little harder/longer just for you. I tell him how much I love him. I like to think of you as my little boy’s guardian angle. As a mother my heart breaks for your Mommy and Daddy and I pray for them as well. God Bless all of you!
