Hi Mr D. Its been quite some time since I last wrote on your page. I never forget about you though, I have this page bookmarked on my computer and I see your name everyday. Boy, if you could see how well Maria is doing! She has an internship with the Indians and graduates in May! You raised a great daughter. It will be 5 years in July! Everyday I think about you. Wish you were here. Miss you. Keep looking down on us. Until next time,

Love you and your family

Michael,

Thinking of you on your birthday. I remember when I would call to wish you a happy birthday and we'd end up chatting for awhile. After talking with you, there wasn't much left for Laurie!

Love and miss you,

Michael,

It's been two years and I think of you often. My family and I miss you so much.

Love and prayers to you and all of your girls.

Michael,

Please keep an eye on my mother and give her a hug for me. I'm sure she's got many stories to share with you.

One day, we'll all be together again and we'll all be so happy.

Until then,

Mr. DeFranco, It was nice visiting you on my birthday. Things still are not the same without you here but i can see Maria making some progress. She has and never will forget about the good times because she always tells me more and more stories about you and the family every chance she gets. You raised a wonderful daughter and i love her more than anything. You have my word that i will do everything in my power to take care of her for as long as I'm with her. I pray every single night for you...

Dad- Today is Thanksgiving, our first at your house since you have been gone. I wish you were here to share Olivia's first Thanksgiving with us. Mom did an amazing job preparing as usual, but it will definitely not be the same without you. Who will carve the turkey? Who will say the prayer? Who will talk about the milestones from the year? I am sitting here thinking about all of the things that have changed this past year and all of those things you would be proud of us for. Missing...

today we remember you michael. please send your strength, wisdom and guidance to the ones who hold you dear. We all are better just for having you touch our lives. I know you are walking with the angels.........

Dad-
Wow! I don't even know where to start. There are so many things going on in my life that I wish I could talk to you about. I always valued your opinions and looked forward to any advice you were willing to give. It's been so hard without you here. Kevin and I talk about you daily. The baby is getting so much bigger and my due date seems right around the corner. Boy, do I wish you were here for all of this planning and preparing for our special day. I know you would have really...

Uncle Mike, I've been thinking so much about you. I'm taking good care of Maria here at Kent. We actually see eachother and hang out alot which is really nice. We're so a like in so many ways and I don't just mean physically.(even though when we go out places we tell everyone we're twins. We always get such a kick out of that!) Aunt Laurie and Alexa came up for dinner the other night and it was so nice to just sit and talk. We sat in Rocknes for soo long! Who knows where Alexa will end up!...
