Hello my Sunshine,
Another year has passed and I still miss you so very much. I am sure you are busy with so many culinary events in heaven. I suppose you are fishing for blue marlin with your Dad too.
Please give everyone a big hug from me.
Love you

Today is three years and we are celebrating your life again. We did on your birthday but especially today as we know when you took your last breath on earth you were immediately in the arms of Jesus. So much has happened this past year and we are moving forward but there is never a day that we all don't miss you. Thank you for my feathers when I need them. Love you Sunshine. Love, Mom

My Dearest Sunshine,
It is almost one year since you went to heaven and I miss you everyday. You took a piece of my heart with you and our family will never be the same. We have experienced firsts this year without you from Christmas to your birthday. On your birthday we made all of your favorite dishes and I came close to duplicating your recipe for Lobster Mac and Cheese and then we sent white balloons with our love to you to heaven. As I remember you I will always remember the wonderful times we shared and that each day brings me closer to seeing you heaven. God's hope, grace and His promises have made us all strong this past year. May God's peace, love and light surround you and all those who have gone before us.
I love you Sunshine.
Love,
Mom

Walter & Terri,
Although we have not had contact in years,good friends remember each other regardless. There are no words that Brenda and I can share that will alleviate any part of your loss. The most we can do is to let you know that you are not alone in your grief. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

I still can't believe this is real. And it is. It's so very real and painful.
Just the other day, over sashimi, laughs and a DIY green iced tea, we hashed out plans and ideas of what was to come. Yet now we have to say goodbye. I'm completely heartbroken.
Know that you leave behind a #TeamMichael army who adores you. You've touched and inspired so many. We will forever honor your memory and miss you like crazy.
Until we meet again my friend...Rest in peace. God bless.

You, Dear Micheal- were such a beautiful & inspiring man. I didn't know you for that long (3 weeks) but amazingly, in that short time span- you have left an indelible print on my heart & soul. You always had a joke or kind word for everyone you met. I remember the last time I saw you and hugged you goodbye & good luck- you whispered "Goodbye- I love you" & I said it back to you- not knowing if it was accidental or not. I still felt it. In every joke you said or honest truth you let go of- Rest In Peace Micheal Shikany- you will be remembered for always & loved forever. ❤
