Beloved 5 year old son of Maria and Bruce Miller and doting brother of 3 year old brother James of Stamford, CT, Christopher passed away suddenly. Born on December 29, 1999, Christopher will always be remembered as a happy, loving child with a beautiful smile. He loved to laugh and make others around him laugh too. Christopher was a student at Brookdale Preschool in Stamford where he had many friends and was loved by all his teachers. He enjoyed many activities which included playing baseball and golf, riding his bicycle, drawing rocket ships, flowers and treasure maps, and reading books, especially about dinosaurs. Chris also loved visiting with his beloved Grandma and Grandpa Guella in New York, as well as with his beloved Grandma Miller and all his cousins on Cedar Island in Clinton, CT. In addition to his love for family and friends, Christopher also displayed a deep love and affection for all humanity, especially the victims of the South Asia Tsunami disaster. This past December, a very special little boy agreed to forgo the usual material gifts at his 5th birthday party. Instead, with the guidance of his parents, Christopher opted to help the Tsunami victims by asking each child to contribute a donation to the Save the Children South Asia Relief Fund. Christopher didn't have a table laden with brightly wrapped presents when he celebrated his special day with friends, but he did have a heart filled with joy at having helped those less fortunate than himself. Near and far, Christopher touched all those around him. In addition to his mom, dad, and brother, Christopher is survived by grandparents Nina and Tom Guella of Ridgewood, NY, grandmother Janet Miller of Somers, CT, godparents, Emanuel Guella and Jennifer Gengo, eight aunts and uncles, and many loving cousins.
