The MARINES are truly family! The day was hard but we were surrounded by family and friends. It made the day easier because we were all together in spirit with Chris. Chris was watching over all of us. Hi Melissa, good to hear from you and another time zone for Chris’s balloon launch. Chris left us with so many special people. It still amazes me how many people Chris touched. CHRIS, FOREVER LOVED CHRIS, NEVER, EVER FORGOTTEN LOVE, MOM Hi Everyone,

Thank you for the flowers, phone calls
and remembering us on this day. The
MARINES are truly family!

The day was hard but we were surrounded
by family and friends. It made the day
easier because we were all together in
spirit with Chris. Chris was watching
over all of us.

Hi Melissa, good to hear from you

balloon launch.

Chris left us with so many special

I guess that, after a while, there isn’t much more to say, except how much I still miss you and how much I still think of you and love you. You should know that, despite not writing on here, you are ALWAYS in my heart and ALWAYS in my mind, and I do come to this site sometime just to look at pictures and comments, even if I don’t add any of my own. You would be proud of everyone today, Chris, and how far we’ve all come. A lot of people have kids now (most of our friends, it seems), and you would love them all so much!!! Me, I only have 2 dogs (for now), but I live in Australia with my boyfriend, and you would really like him (and you would love Australia if you came to visit us). It would be SO amazing to hike here with you! I can just picture you running around, jumping in the ocean…enjoying the beauty here. Recently, I had a dream about you. It was so bizarre - so vivid - like all the dreams I have about you. You were eating in a diner next to me… It would be impossible to explain the dream on here, but it was very real and very interesting, and sometimes, when I have dreams like that, I wonder if it’s really you there. I wonder if, maybe, there’s some way you are actually able to visit people in their dreams. How else could it be so real? I can’t believe it’s already been 5 years since you’ve been gone. I remember when I first got the phone call when I was living in Los Angeles. I remember every detail, every minute of it all! It seems like 5 years couldn’t possibly have gone by. But here we are…and so much, yet so little, has changed. I will always smile when I think of you, Chris, and January 31st of every year - no matter where in the world I am - I will always, always hold you and your family that much closer to my heart. Zimny family, I hope you’re doing well and holding up on this very difficult day. I am sorry I’ve been out of touch for a while - I am the crappiest emailer on the planet - but I want you to know that I haven’t - and never will - forget about you. I love you all, and Chris, man, I miss the hell outta’ you. Wish I could call you…wish I could hear you laugh…wish so many things…but will always be reminded of you on so many occasions and in so many ways. Lots of love to you Chris, and to all of the Zimny’s. Always, Melissa Levin xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo Chris,

You are carrying a heavy burden. I could relate to your pain because I too, felt as if my heart was ripped out of my chest and someone kicked me in my stomach. Erik, do as Chris did and be a big brother and help all of the young Marines. I agree that Chris lives in you and all of the young Marines he helped. As long as our hearts beat, Chris will never be forgotten by his family, friends and all of the people that met Chris. Erik, God had other plans for you. Listen to your heart and one day your answer will come. May the Lord give you peace. Mrs. Zimny Hi ERick,

I know that it took courage for
you to write on Chris’s site. You
are carrying a heavy burden.

I could relate to your pain because
I too, felt as if my heart was ripped
out of my chest and someone kicked me
in my stomach.

Erik, do as Chris did and be a
big brother and help all of the
young Marines.

I agree that Chris lives in you
and all of the young Marines he
helped. As long as our hearts
beat, Chris will never be
forgotten by his family,
friends and all of the people
that met Chris.

Erik, God had other plans for you.
Listen to your heart and one day
your answer will come. May the
Lord give you peace.

Mrs. Zimny

As a parent, I know it must be especially hard when a child is no longer present. I see where Ryan has been here to visit a while back. We talk about Chris alot and their experiences at ISU. Was just copying my address book to a new one and their old addresses were still there. That sparked a few memories for sure. Just wanted you to know Chris will go on in our memories. And obviously several others he touched in his short time with us. Wishing you a Healthy, Happy 2009 and wanted to let you know I keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
