Christiana

Christiana Fesmire
12/17/88 - 7/1/11

The beautiful young lady above is the youngest of our four children. On July first of this year Christiana Fesmire disappeared with no explanation. We spent the next few months in deep despair and in constant prayer. We received a call from the Lewiston, Maine police detective Roland Godbout in October, wanting to meet with us. It was then that we were informed that a man had been arrested and charged with her brutal murder. We know not why exactly, only that he was her neighbor and that they had not gotten along very well. Her remains have yet to be found.


It is obvious from her photo, that she was of rare and stunning beauty. What cannot be seen is the vibrant personality and happy outlook on life that she possessed. Her constant smile and love for snowboarding, bicycling and her family have been taken from her now and these are sorely missed by everyone who knew her. I wish to thank everyone for the outpouring of sympathy that the family has received.

Please forgive me for placing this tragedy before you in this otherwise positive look into an activity I have loved and enjoyed presenting to you. But I need to put my hobby in the back seat of my life for a while. I'm sure I will return to it someday so until then be patient. In the meantime, please say a prayer for our little one that her soul is at peace. We miss her immensely.

Chester -- your Christiana and I share the 12/17 birthday. I never met her, but I miss her. Prayers and warm thoughts to you here on Earth. Soft and safe to thee, Christiana, be thy eternal resting place, and glorious be thy rising from it on that Great Day.

Chester, From one Dad to another, I can only barely begin to imagine your pain in the loss of your daughter. Words alone can't begin to express the sorrow I feel for you and your family. Thanks for your post here, sharing with those online who follow your work, your struggle to discover your daughters fate. God Bless Christiana, and God's Speed in all you do. - Rod

Chester,

I am very sorry to read this very sad news. No one can understand, or imagine, and no words can describe the pain and agony that you and your family are feeling. I can only tell you that this is heartbreaking for all of us who share your work and your thoughts in the 1/87th world. I would like you to know that we pray for your daughter and your family, and hope that you and your family can find solace in the memory of the wonderful times that Christina shared with you. Please accept my deepest condolence.

I wish to you and your family be strong enough and go further with the help of God... It must be so painful that my words are to small, but please do not give up with your hobby, this might help.

Nothing can comfort the crippling grief at the loss of your child. We lost our son Brad, in October.He died of a blood clot at 41 years.The pain remains alongside the sweet memories and the knowledge that God has welcomed our children into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Chester - my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in the loss of your lovely daughter. She is truely beautiful and there will be a void in all lives she touched. I am a father of two daughters and a son. I can not even begin to imagine your loss and pain. I am just so saddened by this senseless taking of life. Surely it is a parents worst nightmare. May God and his only begotten son lift you all up and provide you love and comfort for your loss. He has plans for Christiana and called her home early (in our opinion) from this transitory life. May God Bless you all!! Chris
