Uncle Mike: Tears fell on the day I had to say goodbye to you and the days after that. I know that tears will fall when I think of you, but I will be comforted knowing that you are in God's loving arms and knowing you are our angel looking over all of us. I will miss your beautiful smile, your wittiness and your great stories. We have only known each other for a short 16 years, but it truely feels like a lifetime. I also feel comfort in knowing how lucky I am to have known you. Your great-niece will know how great of an uncle you were, she may not be able to see you, but I know you will be able to see her.
I love you and will miss you very much.

Renee and family:
Mike was an extremely wonderful person to have in our lives, and I was glad to have been able to call him my friend. He will be deeply missed here on earth, but just know that God just got the best damn hockey player on his team upstairs.
My thoughts and prayers are with you always. I am here for you for whenever you need me 24/7.

We are so sorry for your loss. I will miss his wave as we did to one another as we mowed our lawns, cleared the snow from our driveways, and in passing one another. His up beat personality will be greatly missed. "Tho you have lost a loved one, you have gained a guardian angel." God bless you all.
Left to right. Lonnie, Dale, Kurt, Norm, Al, & of course Mike.

Renee and Family, There was nobody like Mikey, I never heard one complaint out of his mouth ever, even after everything he went through. I have never know anyone one as special as Mikey. I will forever miss him so much. But will hold a place deep within my heart for our cherished memories and good times we had. Now he is with our Lord and Saviour forever more and I will cherish the day when we are together. Love you all

Lucky am I to have been loved by you….
A gentle, sweet, and unabated love.
You looked at me, and I felt cherished;
you held me, and I felt safe from harm.
But you could not hold me forever,
and I am safe again now in God’s loving arms.
I see your tears, and I hear your cry.
For you, so much pain and wondering, “Why?”
But the peace I feel, you will one day share…
it will fill your heart,
and wash away your despair.
You’ll come to know what I now understand,
that we’re only apart for a time God has planned.
Until our reunion, I shall joyfully wait.
Till then, help many…love all.
And when it’s time, we’ll embrace at heaven’s gate.
Someone gave this to me when Katie died and I would like to share it with all of you.

My Dearest Mike, I love you so much, but you knew that because of the way we helped, loved and in the things we did for each other. I am a better person because of you and you have inspired so many people. I wished we would have had more time together on earth, but God had other plans for you and needed you by his side. You will always be the keeper of my heart. Until I see you again my love, have a safe journey. Love, Renee

Renee, Steve, Paul and Rick,
It's hard for me to put into words the sorrow I feel. Let me start by saying that Mike was a great guy and a great relative to the entire Stafford family. The times we shared together will always be memorable. Mike was an incredible fighter even in his most difficult times. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone of you.
