Michael, Patty and Sarah,
I was thinking of your family and realized that it has been 10 years since Mike passed. Here is a quote from Helen Keller that provides comfort for me and I thought it would help you also. "What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes part of us" - Helen Keller

Mikey Boo, it's been almost a year since you left us. It hurts more than ever. Not seeing your smile, hearing your voice, your laugh, seeing your silly dance moves. Never having you chase me around the house again. Never hear you say, "Hi mom what's for dinner?" Or "I love you mom, your the best." It's so hard to go on without you. My heart aches for you everyday. I love and miss you loads and loads for now and always, mom.

My Mikey, I have done nothing but think of you consently for days now. We had a scare the last couple days. Had to take Sarah to a cardologist yesterday. The entire time we were there I could feel your arms around me saying she will be fine. Thankfully she is and nothing is wrong. I miss you so much my heart aches daily. Life is so lonely without you. I overheard some mothers talk the other day about the upcoming wrestling season. I just broke down and havent been the same since. That should have been me talking to them. You would be so excited, thats all you would be talking about. :) I love and miss you so much. You are in my heart for now and forever.

Love you from the mom who brought you in this world.

June 7, 2012

Hi Mikey! Daddy and I went into your room yesterday. It was very strange without you. I was expecting you to be sitting there playing your game. I have been having a lot of memories. I remember everytime you got sick or scared you would want me to rub your forehead the way you like it. You told me just days before you went to Heaven that it always makes you feel safe and secure. I remember after you said that you laid your head in my lap and I rubbed your forehead like I did when you were little. I will always treasure all those special moments that you and I shared. You were my little boy. I couldn't have asked for anyone better. I love you more than life it self. Daddy, Sarah, and I love and miss you always....mom

June 6, 2012

Hi Mikey just wanted you to know that I love and miss you. Forever and Always remember I started this when you were a baby in my arms. Love ya Mom

Mikey, daddy and I miss you more than you will ever know. It is hard to go on without you. There are times I still expect you to walk through that door, or hear you yelling while playing the xbox. Sarah misses you too. She lights up everyday when she sees your picture. She had a good bday but it wasnt the same without you. I know you would have been running the show :) It is hard to believe that tomorrow will be three months. Daddy, Sarah, and I love and miss you with all our hearts!...mom

hey, i just randomly googled your name and this came up. its been how long, three months? dang. tbh its been pretty quiet over here, i mean i don't have anyone to tell my stories of awesomeness to anymore. sure i can tell other friends but they don't listen like you would. i tell you man, you are my only brother. i mean, my "real" brother complains about not being able to go over his best friends house sometimes and i just think "hey dude, my best friend is dead, i don't get to visit him at his house, i only get to visit him at his grave..." i have yet to see your grave, but i plan on visiting every February 23rd, and if i don't have a ride, im walking there myself. i miss you brother, words cant describe it in the least bit. i remember taking a knee at your viewing. we will meet again, and yes, we will play xbox...

mom

March 28, 2012

Mikey, Its been 1 month and 5 days and my heart still aches. I walk by your bedroom and expect you to be yelling and playing the xbox. It is so empty here at home. Daddy and I are taking it very hard. Wish God didnt have to take you home. I wish we could just hve one more day together. I love you more than anything in this world.

Daddy and I miss you. Today when daddy woke up he thought he heard you on your XBOX! When he realized you weren't here he got so sad. But he told me how he misses you but he (we) have very fond memories. We have a great 11 years out here. Daddy also says that he loved and enjoyed the 15 years he (we) raised you. Your BooBoo (the nickname you mande up for Sarah) misses you daily. She looks around for you especially when she hears the bus or the front door open. You will be in our hearts forever. We all love you very very much!

While the loss of a loved one is never easy, it is most certainly the hardest when they are taken from us too soon. Your recent loss of your son who has left us at such a youthful age is certainly in the category of those hard losses for which there is so painful a reminder of what might have been.

I offer my sincere condolence and deepest sympathy on your loss. May the outpouring of sympathy, the kind acts of friends and strangers and the comfort in knowing that your loss is felt by many, help you through this difficult time.

I ask for God's blessings on you and your wonderful family. May you find the courage and strength to move forward in peace and confidence and in knowing that his was a life well-lived.

Yours In Peace,
