Jakob Michel

Offering our sympathies on this day

Sorry I missed the anniversary this year squirt...
I still miss you more than anything and some years are harder than others. This was a bad one.
Love you like crazy my son.
See you one day.
Dad

Thinking about you and your family this week...

checking in on you and your family....

13 yrs its been and I still miss you terribly. Love you my son and still plan to see you again in the place where no shadows fall.

I don't even know what to say...
You got me through Kiley, you were my only friend for the longest time. I remember you scaring the crap out of my mom when you showed up to my party in full blown camoflauge.
I remember climbing up Mt. Tom with you on our school field trip, we both had a hard time as you sang the gummy bear song haha.
I remember taking that long hike up another mountain, but you wanted to stay at the bottom. I kept pushing you but you were stubbon as always.

On your 22nd birthday--

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I would walk right up to Heaven and bring you home again.
No farewell words were spoken; no time to say goodbyes.
You were gone before I knew it and only God knows why.
My heart still aches with sadness and sacred tears will flow,
What it meant to love you, no one will ever know.
But, now I know you want me to mourn for you no more.
To remember all the happy times,
Life still has much...

Jakob - you are your father's son - without question. We only talked a few times on the phone, but you and your brother kept me in stitches with your sharp wit and dry humor. Let there be no doubt, you and Ethan are your father's pride and joy. Lynn, we shared but a brief time together, but I can still remember wearing my blue Pooh dress at your wedding, and the day I got to tag along with you to work. I always appreciated how you treated me like an adult and and equal, even though I was...

Jakob, my loving son, so much like me and yet becoming your own man ... your leaving has left a hole in my heart that can never be filled. I long to hug you again, tell you I love you again .. hear your laughter .. catch you at your little scams and see that smirk when you knew I knew.
I miss you so much my baby boy. I can only trust that we'll see each other again.
I love you kid and will until I can love no more.
Your Dad
