This is your old friend Christopher Lusebrink! Miss you Shae!! Love you like a little brother!!! We made so many find memories together, in Leavenworth. I remember when we first met at work, we didn’t like each other, but maybe it was because after having to be around each other so much, that we found out we actually had a lot in common and found our personalities were really similar and we grew become almost as close as good brothers (ones that don’t fight!!) lol man, where can I even begin!? Our jam sessions where you would play guitar and I would sing!? The going fishing out in the country bc I knew a good honey hole full of bass and catfish, chewing tobacco and having a beer or two while we fished..most times we would get a few bites but no big ones !! Lol that’s how it goes sometimes. The weekend guys nights at our other co worker Marcs place, playing Nintendo Wii bowling, eating grilled bratwurst, enjoying summer! The talks we had about women, Relationships, work, life’s ups and downs, anything and Everything, you name it, particularly music, we probably talked about it..i am sorry I was in a bad place with my personal problems when you were having yours and you were a million miles away, only we know those conversations, because we talked about those things just prior to your passing. My drinking was so bad I got a DUI then wrecked my car and I was a wreck myself… I’m sorry I didn’t make it to your service. My life, attempting to manage it, was unmanageable. I’m better now, went to treatment, go to a lot of meetings. And a lot of catholic Mass and prayer. I pray the rosary and I often include you in my rosary intentions (an intention is something you ask for, or someone or some people you pray for and ask the Blessed Mother Mary to interceded for and she then offers her prayers to God and her son, our Lord, for those particular intentions when you pray a decade, or section, of the rosay. I know my prayers have been heard and others prayers for you have been heard as well, Shae!! I’m confident you are in Heaven and I hope you are reading this as I write it and you’re getting a kick out of it lol. Shae, we could always talk and relate to one another .. I am sorry I was a mess back then, I went to a treatment place and now I’m sober, I go to church more, and being a Catholic now, I pray a lot, particularly for the souls of the faithful departed who are my loved ones and close friends and people who made a difference to me. Our prayers are powerful and I want you to know that you are still loved by so many including your family and friends! I miss you Shae, you were and always will be my little buddy!!! Love you, brother! -Christopher

Love you Shae and I miss you!! You will never be forgotten! I pray the rosary often and I always include you in my list of intentions for one of the decades of the rosary when I pray it. I never forget you in my prayers .(meaning that I ask for our Blessed Mothers intercession for you and other souls of the faithful departed who I have known.) I miss our talks, our adventures, our heartbreaks 😔❤️, we could talk about anything and everything, life’s ups and downs, work, dreams, goals anything.. I miss our jam sessions playing the blues, you playing guitar and me singing! A few beers too on those summer nights.. I no longer drink, I go to a lot of meetings and I’m old lol.. 40 now Shae.. it seems like only yesterday we were laughing together. I miss the guys nights we had gaming playing bowling in the Nintendo Wii!! We didn’t like each other when we first met but we grew into the best if friends. I miss you Shae Okay! My little buddy! Your friend, -Christopher
