Dear Dace and Sarah, I want to extend our late condolences. I am the daughter of Christians cousin Barbara Watts Cheetham. Very ironically or maybe a little fate and intuition, I had stopped at your farm house on October 8, 2017, on your drive from home in Florida to family in Massachusetts. I had been working on some genealogy work and came across the newspaper article on your move back to the family farm house in my moms papers. I had hope to reconnect with this side of the family. I just wanted to say Hi and know that there are family members still thinking of you and Sarah.  My grandmother’s middle name was Kathryn “Sarah” Dussinger Watts! 
Not sure if you will be able to get back to me but I’d love to connect. sincerely, Linda Cheetham Palmioli

Dear Dace,
By accident I just today came across your husband’s obituary.  I am sorry to read the sad news and want to express by deepest sympathy even though more than a year late.  Having gone through a similar experience with Aida in 2010 and my mother previous to that, I know what it is like to loose your loved one.
I do hope you have a blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year,
Arvids

Dear Dace and Sarah,  So very sorry that Christian has been called to the Great Unkown. I think of you frequently. Dace,  I remember spending time with you and him before Sarah was born.  Sarah, I remeber how very excited he was to welcome you into the world.  I have fond memories of dinners at your house in the new developement off Eubank.  (It is so very built up now.)  I how excited he was to move back to the family farm.  Know that I am thinking of you and wishing you the best. May you find comfort in the Peace, Love and Light.  Nadine Pachanian Albuquerque, NM

So sorry to hear of the passing of Christian.  I remember him fixing an anniversary clock for us many years ago.  Take the time to heal……it is now 16 months since Bill passed away and I still continue to miss him taking one day at a time.  Your neighbor from Yost Road, Sharon Yelk

Dear Dace and Sarah, Aunt Bev, Scott and Jan, Eric, Brad and Julie, David, April and Bradford, and all the nieces and nephews … you have our deepest sympathy for the loss of your husband, father, son, brother, and uncle.  The transition into days of grieving are difficult, and I know many prayers are with you. 
We’ll pray the comforts of a cherished relationship and the memories of intimate joys may keep you close with your Lord as He walks you through your days of sadness.  And we hope, more than anything as you share time together, that smiles, warm hugs, and laughter will fill your hearts while you recall your lives as a family and with Christian.
Our earnest love to you,
Jeff, Jenny, Charlotte and Teddy Henry

Christian worked hard. He seemed to truly enjoy being a lawyer; it was much more than a job
 
we visited w Christian and his wife at their house in 1993 by invite. It was a memorable experience and we appreciated his generosity He had been sick at the time, and it’s sad he eventually died so young. 
Anyway I am very glad he led a nice life with people that cared about him; I’m also glad they experienced him caring about them  That scenario I’m sure was very fulfilling to him and made him a lucky man
 
If I ever get back there again I will be honored to put a small stone and flowers on his grave 

Rest  in peace
 
Matt  Cohen

Dear Family of Christian Eaby.  Greetings of love, prayers and sympathy.  Our family learned to know Christian thru his dedication to our local school board.  From there he was our go to man helping us draw up important papers.  He was so wonderfully down to earth and his caring ways ablaze!  Will always remember his sharing of Sarahs joining their family which was just the best news ever! Peace, Frank and Rosie Hersh

It has been pleasure to know and communicate with Christian Eaby since about 2000 regarding the Eby/Eaby family.  He held the position of president of the Eby Family Association for many years, and according to him, mostly because no one else would take it on.  He ensured there was an annual meeting of the assocation because that’s what lawyers who are presidents of associations have to do.  Accompanying each meeting was a covered dish luncheon and reunion of anyone who might choose to travel to the homeland of the original immigant, Theodorus Aebi and his unmatched relatives, Andrea Eby and David Davis Eby.  Most people who have one of the 18 permutations of the name are descended from one of these three.  Christian bought and lovely protected the original immigant, Theodorus Aebi’s house in New Holland.  I was priviledge to visit the home in 2000.  We are all indebted to Chrisgtiand for keeping us closer together.  RIP.  B.

Michael Brinley It is sad to see Christian’s passing. I remember him coming to family events over the years and that he was an alternately fun and serious person at times. I will miss him. He was the closest in age to me of my cousins.

My deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathies to you and your family.  Christian always made me feel like family and even though we are cousins many times removed I felt the family connection, too.  He will be missed.
