Christ Rempas Obituary

I have such a hole in my heart from where your light used to shine. You were this little girls first love and that I'll keep until my own light shines no more. We had such great plans, with me moving here to be with you and mom. Every little tree and fence post, and vehicles, and fish tank(that we cleaned for you), and coffe cup, and just everything around me, is you. I'm going to miss our therapy talks of years gone by. I'm going to miss your wrinkled smile, the way you walked, and your voice on the other end of the phone. I'm going to miss you sooooo much Dad, but you are burned in my soul for all time.

Your Number 1

Chrissy

Hello to the best looking boy friend I have ever had, and by the way the first time I dated a married man(smile) but seriously Mr. Christ Rempas our relationship started on the phone from the first time I talked to you I know that I had to meet you, you never act as though we didn't know each other, I kind of got the sence that you were like this with everone. I found it to be such a blast when Lucy came to work and told me that it knocked you off your feet to find out I was a blcak women, because you said I sound like a white women, so from that I became your black girl friend!(smile)I can remember you calling and being dog tired and saying girl it's hotter than you know what out here, I would say to you you better go in the house and rest, you would say I know but later that day when you would call Lucy again you would have been out working and you would say do you know the beating I will get if momma comes home and the work isn't done! and we would laugh. But what I remember about you the most is the feeling of protection that I got from Lucy when she talked about you and even when you talked about her or the kids, the way you sound when you thought the car had broke down on Lucy and most of all the way that I got to see you just take care of everyone at the wedding always coming around and asking is everything ok and looking into your eyes and knowing that if it was anything that you could do you would, the way that you watched over your family and made sure everyone was accounted for the way you got upset to find out that you had eatten before the guest. That million dollar smile that said it's ok I got this! Mr. Rempas I can understand why God needed an angel like you to look after and guide from up above! It was in deed my plesure to have been able to meet you! You will be missed

Your friend Karen

Chris, I am so glad to have had the opportunity of meeting you. You looked fine on your Harley as you did on the dance floor of Zach's wedding. We will be taking good care of Lucy Mae. Until we meet again, Patty.

Dear Chris,

I only knew you for a short time, but I do know you will be missed tremendously by your family and friends! I will never forget watching you on the dance floor dancing with Lucy at Zach and Carrie's wedding, I was talking with everyone about how smooth a dancer you were, in fact,the most graceful I had ever seen. I know Lucy is having a rough time, but, I would like to assure you that all of her other friends and family and I will be there for her as long as she needs us. I know you will always be alive in your family and friends hearts forever as long as they have the wonderful memories of you. Until we meet again on the other side, Lisa Swim

To my darling,

In the 32+ years we have cherished each other, we have shared great sorrow and great joy; much pleasure and pain; tears and laughter. We have given to each other and taken from each other. We have been good to each other and sometimes bad to each other. Will life ever be the same without you, not hardly. I will miss so much, but two things most of all, your moments of fragile weakness (of which there were very few and I felt honored that you let me see those moments) and of course your immense physical and emotional strength which I gleaned from you so many countless times when I needed to be strong. I will always love you and hope that you will wait for me to be with you again.

It was nice meeting you, may the light lead you where you most want to abide in peace and harmony with the Universe. Rev. Karyn

Dear "Faja,"



Okay, I stole this nickname from Crystal, but it suits you well. When I think of you I will always remember:

Running endless errands with you for "Maja," feta cheese with lots of juice and marinated olives, lemon soup and lemon pork chops, corn on the cob rolled in butter, Tsistaria or however you spell it and the Greek Store, powdered rose candy and Greek cookies, your eyes welling with tears when you "neck-laughed," and the look of bewilderment in your blue eyes whenever someone did something crazy. "Senior moments" and how you loved your Senior Discount. Your handicapped vehicle sign and the looks you received when you parked in a handicapped spot. "What are you looking at? I am old and I have a heart condition!" You would utter.



Flea markets and auctions where you once bid on a bed for Zach and I and won, (can you believe we used to sleep in a twin bed!) Your Swiss Army pocket knife which you once used to slice and serve bbq ribs, the Toyota camper and unusual vehicles purchased at a "great deal." Visiting you in VA for the first time and Mykala asking, "Which vehicle are we taking today?" Bon fires with burning English bushes and a shot or two of motor oil, faded colored t-shirts always with a pocket on the front side purchased "for a great price at the G.W. boutique." Your incredible talents to fix and build almost anything (barns, cars, driveways and all,) your great sense of humor where you were able to dish it out and take it as well, and most of all your unique sense of creativity in life and with life. Most of all I will remember our "last dance" in life together on my wedding day. Thank you for dancing with me, Faja.

You are missed and you are loved and the world seems too quiet without you.



A ho! Wise injun, may you journey safely and peacefully.



Love,

Your new and favorite, only daughter-in-law,

Carrie Rempas

Dear Dad,

I'll always remember eating tomatoes with you right out of the can. You taught us all how to neck laugh. I'll miss you forever. Untill we meet again.

Love ya lots Daddy-o

Your daughter Simon
