Uncle Mike, you were such a big part of my life growing up and now. The world is not going to be the same without you and your wicked sense of humor. I know you are in a much better place without pain. You and Nana try not to cause too much trouble and bring Heaven down before the rest of us get there! I love you and I miss you.

Although we lost touch for a time,I will miss knowing you are somewhere in this world because you will forever be my little brother. I must be content knowing you are safe with your lord and mom and no longer in pain.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

DAD, since your passing it has been hard to come to the realization that you are truly gone. You were an amazing man and father. I do not cry tears of sadness for i know that you are not hurting or in pain anymore. You are free and with god and grandpa! You now are watching over all of us and guiding us on our path to the future! Until the day we meet again you will forever be in my heart! You never truly know the power of love until that person is gone forever! I will not be saying any goodbyes to you. I will always say see you later! I know you hear my prayers and see the tears that follow with it. i miss you more than words could ever describe. i love you and miss you so much daddy. and the day we all meet again will be the day my heart shall ache no more always and forever you little girl
