I am SPC Christopher Austin Belk's Mother. It was an honor to be his Mother for almost nineteen years. He was becoming a fine young man that would make any parent proud. Although my heart is broken, I know this was an accident with more than one contributing factor. Christopher's Memorial website is located at MeM.com. His family and friends welcome any comforting words, stories or memories from all who choose to share.
It is my prayer that we all understand there were two victims in this tragic accident and that we keep the families of both in our thoughts and prayers.
The pain I feel today will never overpower the priveledge of being his Mother. I will cherish each and every memory along with the sweet look of laughter on my Son's face... forever. Until I can hold you once more, I know you are wrapped in the arms of our Lord.
With gratitude,
The proud Mother of a Fine Son, Brother, Friend and True American Patriot
