Michael R. Crandall Jr.

It's not easy to fight the tears away
when I think about how yesterday
marked one year you went away
so strong the pain and so much sorrow
even though we'll see you some tomarrow
at times I feel you in someone
I see you in the eyes of our sons
I'll remind him often to look in the mirror, and I'm glad
"Look inside, you'll see your Dad."
Mikey's graduating eighth grade today
I know you're not too far away.

A year has gone by so fast - still hard to believe that you're really gone. The bitterness of your leaving us is now replaced with the peace that comes with knowing you are keeping an eye on us and enjoying the laughter that life continues to bring. None of us will forget Mikey and will forever have his big smile and sweet spirit in our hearts!
Always - Kimmy

This Sunday will mark 1-year of your passing. We will all get together as a family to think of you, to remember your kind spirit, and most importantly to Celebrate the better place in which you now live! Although you are missed, I can smile just a little knowing you are at peace with God and amongst all the angels.

I Will Forever Love You!!

Thinking of you so strongly today,
remembering a moment with our son.

Looking at a picture,
when he was only one.
His eyes so bright and glad,
to be in a fishing boat with Dad.

As every year since then,
he's shared a week agian and agian.
His eyes light up, and I am glad, he shares it with your Dad.

Every day we think of you,
and sometimes we even cry.
Although we know what became ofyou,
...

It was a hot day in August
When you came into this place
It would be a cold day in June
When I saw your precious face.

It was a forty year span
Of which I was not a part
It will be a long time coming
To get you out of my heart.

You were a stranger to me
Someone I did not know
I grieve now so strongly
For all I did not show.

I think of you so often
Not sure where it takes me
...

It's been 2 months since your passing, and as I stop to think of you, I remember only the good. You had a kind-hearted spirit, and I beleive you would have done anything it took to be accepted and loved! I grieve for your passing, though I know you are in a much better place. I am deeply saddened by the relationship we did not have in your short stay here on earth. It's tough not to blame myself for not being there for you. But somehow I feel that as you look down upon your family, you have...

Happy Birthday, we miss you!

Always in our thoughts, living in our hearts.
