Gone but not forgotten; loved forever. Rest in peace, Mike. --Love, Mom

Michael was a good boy. I think of him always but most acutely at this time of year. My sister belongs to a club that no mother wishes to belong to but many have to join regardless. We should never have to bury our children and his death reminds me that there but for the Grace of God go I. I love you Peg, and I'm so very sorry for your loss. May God make you a channel for His Mercy, His Grace and His Peace.. I'm always here for you. Don't forget.

Rain falls down from an unseen sky,
and man looks up and wonders why,
he stands and ponders the world around him,
the weather, the stars, these things confound him,
inside his head, a battle is ever going,
but his imagination, never slowing, always growing,
leads him to contemplate all aspects of life,
