To my baby boy,

I miss you so much words cannot describe the emptiness I have. It is hard to get through every day without. We did everything and went every where together. Now it is me and Adriana doing so much by ourselves. There were so many things you and your dad had plans to do and never got a chance to do them. We miss you sooo much. I still leave the light on downstairs at night waiting for you to come home. There is never a second in my day that I do not think about you. I love you so much. I was always able to protect you from getting hurt and this time I couldn't. I miss you calling me in house mommmy mommy until you found me when you needed something. I know that time will come again some day but not soon enough. I love you my son with all my heart.

Michael you are my cousin. Michael you dont even know how much i love you and miss you.I get really mad and wish that we could have been a lot closer then we were. I think about you every single day and the memorys I have about you. Every time i see your picture or hear your name It brings back so many memorys. One thing I always think about was the time we went to California, another one is when you lived at your old house and we would always go to taco bell and have a lot of fun or the time you, me, Joey, and big Michael went to the mall to see scary movie 2 and you got some girl to sit by big michael by telling her that he wanted to talk to her and get her number. Michael do you remember the time when you went to the docter with us and you where crying because you saw me, Joey, and Erika crying because we were going to get shots, well now im crying for you.I have a lot of other good memorys of you to. A lot of things remind me of you Michael. I still dont and will probably never accept you being gone. Some times I get the feeling that your still here with us. every time i go to your house i think that im going to see you there. When I hear Adriana laugh it makes me think of how you were always doing things for her and how you where a great brother to her. It gets me really mad to think that you where just about two miles away just two more miles and you would still be here with us. Michael you where a fun, nice, and great person to know and to be around. You always knew how to make someone laugh and help them have fun. Its not fare to know that you wont be able to do things in life that you dreamed of doing. I remember seeing you just a couple day before the accident but i didnt know that would be the last time i would see you for a while. The day of the candle walk made me realise how many lives you had touched in your short life time. There is a poem I want to dedicate to you Michael and here it is.

If tears could build a stairway

And memorys were a lane

We would walk right up to heaven

And bring you back again

No farewell words were spoken

No tome to say goodbye

You where gone before we knew it

And only god knows why

Our hearts will ache in sadeness

And secret tears will flow

What it meant to lose you

No one will ever know

But now we know you want us

to mourn for you no more

To remember all the happy times

Life still has much in store

Since youll never be forgotten

We pledge to you today

A hallowed place within our hearts

Is where youll always stay

I love you and miss you Michael.



Michael there will always be a place for you in my heart. I cant wait until I get to see you again and get to talk to you and hang out with you again. Until then Michael I will be waiting. I will always love you and miss you.



Your cousin,

Johnny

Michael was my cousin and we would always hang out at the movies and with his homies. Or we would be at each others houses. I don't think there was ever a boring day in Michael's life. He was always doing something whether it was talking on the phone or going places. Michael would always talk about his homies and girlz. By looking at this Guest Book, Michael was loved by many. I know I loved him. R.I.P. Mike
