Not sure what to say?





15 years have gone by without you. I want you to know how much I love you and think about you everyday. I miss you so much and many days are still very difficult for me. I want you to know that you will always be my son, so proud of you, my dream come true. I love you so much! I miss your beautiful smile and your silly jokes, the way you lit up a room when you walked in. There is no greater love for me. You were my everything, my muse and best friend. Life without you feels so empty.BYou are always in my heart and I try to keep your memory alive. My greatest joy will be when we are reunited together. I know you are happy and at peace in heaven. Why you were stolen from me is a mystery and I cherish every moment we had together. You were my blue crayon, you brought me so much happiness. So when I walk down memory lane, I feel so close to you. You are forever in my heart, and I hold a special place for you in my heart and soul. Love you so much, I can´t find the words. You will never be forgotten, you are a part of me. As long as I live, you are alive in me. The grief never ends, and I don´t want it to end. So much time has gone by but it feels like yesterday. I will never recover from losing you, the world is darker without you and my heart will be forever broken. I love you so much Mikey!

and our beloved Uncle Stanley -

We are all so very sorry for your loss. We cannot even begin to imagine how you are feeling. We want you to know that we love you very much and will be here for any support that we can help you with.

I once heard a saying, that when someone is taken away suddenly, that God must have needed an Angel by his side. Never forget that Mike was your Angel for 18 wonderful years. We hope you can find peace someday.

Love You.
