Memories and Condolences
for Christopher Panicucci

Not sure what to say?





Hey Uncle Chris
Man do I miss you like no other and wish you were here to give me guidance. It still feels like it was yesterday that I got the phone call that you were gone. It still kills to think about. I have spent a lot of nights thinking about calling your number just hoping I would hear you say "Panicucci" then laughing when you realized it was me calling. Nothing in this world can replace the memories I have of you. I will forever love you like no other and will always wish you were still here to give any guy I met a hard time. Uncle Timmy tries but it doesn't have the same affect. I hope you are looking down and are proud of the accomplishments I have made in my life. I very well know when you aren't happy with mistakes I've make and I swear sometimes I can hear your voice telling me it was a mistake. I love you Uncle Chris and you have left a GIANT empty space in my heart. I just wish I could have 5 more minutes with you so we can have that shot of Jack you said we'd have when I turned 21. I love you always and forever miss you. Come visit me sometime.

Our hearts go out to you at this time and in the days ahead. Our family enjoyed living next door to Chris' family in Evergreen Park when we were kids. Chris always told my Mom that he wanted to live in our house and in 2005 he got that wish. It was such a comfort for us and especially my Mom to know that Chris was getting our house.

God took one of his angels back. You were a special person who had the ability to make anyone feel as though they knew you all along even though you just said "hi" and gave a smile. I never got to thank you for being so nice to me in high school, where I felt so awkward my freshman year. You were always kind at the youth center, where I was too young to belong, but was there because my Mom was on the commission and played with me & my brother anyway. You have a special family who will miss you greatly, I'm sure. We are all better people for having known you. Thank you for every kindness you've ever done. I'm just sorry I didn't say it in person. You will always be fondly remembered in our hearts.
We are all praying for your family. Can't imagine the pain you are going through right now.

With deepest sympathy,
Tracy (Marks) Connelly

To Tiffany,
I just read the sad news and my heart breaks for you and your daughter. I know, just from the meetings we had about your big wedding day 2 years ago, that you were wildly and madly in love with Chris, he is your soulmate and best friend. I cannot imagine what you are going through, but you are in my thoughts and heart. I will not say any more "cliche" sympathy things--because the bottom line is--it really sucks that Chris is gone! And I hope in time your days get easier.
