Michael we love you and miss you everyday. You were taking from us way to early. You always lit up a room with your wonderful smile. I am so happy I got to take care of you when you were young and you enjoyed spending time with me. We got to do so many fun things together. Love you to the moon and back.

Kevin and Karen,
Although miles separate us now, you are both still in my heart. I'm so sad about your loss. I probably at one time met Mickey briefly but knowing both of you, I'm sure he was a wonderful kid! Hugs and kisses and I really miss working with you!

Dear Karen,
Please know how the school community holds you close in our thoughts and prayers. My heart is absolutely broken, as I remember Mikey's sense of humor and his ability to always say something sweet to me in class! Even though it has been several years since his days at Stormonth, I remember his devotion to you as well as his excitement to tell his teachers he was going fishing with his dad! And little Robert idolized him, rightly so. He was cherished by all of us at Stormonth, and he will be greatly missed.
With great sadness,
Twila Bergeron

My prayers are with you, I cannot imagine how much pain your family is going through. Months ago one of my close friends passed away from an overdose. Most tragic thing that's ever happened to me. I've never been so heartbroken. Mike was a sweethart, and I'm terribly sorry. May he rest in peace. Stay strong and everything will be okay.

Dear Karen, Kevin, Nick and Robert,
My heart is broken for all of you. I wish there was something we could do or say to help you through this. Karen, I think I shared with you when I called a couple of months ago, Mike answered and we had the nicest conversation. He was such a charming, bright, ariculate boy-you can be very proud. We are here for you and we love you. Love, Beth, Bob, Jacob and Gracie

Dear Karen,
Words are not enough to let you know how sorry I am for you. You loved Michael with all your heart. You were always there for him. Letting Michael hold on to you when he was little, because you made him feel safe and loved. I was very honored that you and Ralph choose me to be Michael's God mother. Thank you for letting me be able to take care of Mike. He was always so good having around. Playing with Bryan on his little basketball hoop, helping me and doing crafts(Easter napkin rings). Watching the Christmas Story with Me before going over to our family Christmas party. But more then anything I am thankful that God let me run into Michael on July 1, at Bakers Square. I did not know that he was going to be there. But when I saw him he stooded up and gave me a hug, then he sat back down I hug him again he rested his head into my chest. I kissed his head and said "I love you Michael and he said I love you Auntie" It felt so different. I think God wanted me to have this last special moment with my godson, my special nephew, my Michael.
Love, Lynn

Dear Janasik and Behl Families,
It was just over a year ago Michael stopped back at Stormonth to visit. When he stepped into my room three feet taller than the last time I'd seen him, it took me awhile to connect the face of the handsome young man to the memory of the energetic fourth grader. He kindly helped me along by providing his name and as he said it, the memories came flooding back. Michael spoke of his family, especially his mother, and how much he cherished her. My heart aches knowing the numbing pain you are all enduring. Please take comfort in the joy Michael spread by being a part of our lives. That joy will live on always.
With deepest sympathy, Patty Stark, Stormonth School

My deepest sympathies go out to you and your families. I know what it feels like to have a child taken away from you way too soon. It isn't fair. But trust that God has wonderful plans for Mikey. He needed him there with Him. You will see Mikey again someday. Until then, keep his memory alive and those thoughts will comfort you during this very difficult time.
God Bless you all.

I am so sorry for your loss. Mike was a good kid, and all of us that knew him would agree that he touched all of our hearts, and we all send our deepest sympathies to your family. I first met him in third grade at Stormonth, and he had so much energy and personality, he lit up the room when he walked into it. He was a beautiful and unique person, and i know we will all miss him so much. I hope you find strength today, seeing so many faces who all cared so much about your son. My thoughts and prayers are with you, and may Mike rest in peace.

Being a Mother myself, I can only imagine the pain you and your family are experiencing and still not come close to what it is really like. Saying I'm sorry for your loss, especially in these circumstances, seem so very inadequate. You and your family have not been far from my thoughts during the day and are in my prayers continuously.

My Nephew Remembered
I’ll never forget the little boy following me around the yard up north.
Doing my chores and getting boats ready for a ride,
“Uncle Marty, what are you doing?”
I would stay quiet and again he would ask,
“Now what are you doing?”
“Now what?”
“Now what, Uncle Marty?”
About every five minutes, “Now what are you doing?”
Eventually I would turn around quick and yell, “WHAT?”
To put a scare in him, and for a second he was scared.
Then we both would laugh our butts off and I would give him a big hug.
He liked the attention and I loved his curious mind.
I said goodbye to Michael the other day, but
I really said goodbye a couple of weeks ago when he passed me on the freeway.
I was on my way up north and he was yelling out a car window next to me.
“UNCLE MARTY!!!!!”
That and the curious, loving little boy following me around the yard
is how I will remember my nephew.

My thoughts and prayers are with all that loved Michael. My thoughts are of Mikey popping into my room looking for food and fun. I use his work as an example of a creative idea for an optical illusion project. He wrote "Mikey J" inside the shape of a house. "Mikey J is in the house!" Okay so that dates back a few years. He was a true blessing in my life and will be remembered with a smile and a warm heart. My love to you all.
