Michael Mattix

You know they say it gets easier as time goes by, I´d like to meet the people that say that because it doesn´t every time the cowboy game comes on I know you´re rooting for them to win. Every time OU plays I know you´re rooting. I miss our football parties. I miss you so much. Love Mom

Hard to believe it´s been 23 years since you left us. We talk about you often. You´re in our hearts and some of our fondest memories. I miss you, big brother. Love you.

Seems like yesterday you were walking through the door saying hey mom. We were having our cowboy parties. Football doesn´t seem the same anymore. You are definitely missed more than you can ever imagine. I go by your picture and blow you A kiss every day. Remember when you gave me the bowl and two spoons for oatmeal? I still have it. When I use the spoon, I kiss it before I use it. Give your sister a hug, your grandfather and your grandmother and don´t forget David. You have a lot of company...

Tomorrow marks 20 years since you left us. I think of you often. I miss my big brother. I pray you are watching over all of us beside David/Dad and Charlotte. Love you, forever and always, your baby sister.

Happy Birthday Michael. I went by and visited you and Charlotte yesterday. It is so peaceful. I miss you two so much. No mother should have to loose a child much less two. Every day I see things that you would love. I think about you every time I pass the apartments you were working on just before you went to Houston. Remember our talks? I love you Michael. Love Mom.

Happy Birthday, Big Brother. Another year has passed, yet your departure from our lives feels like yesterday....a yesterday that has dragged on for seven years. What a hard year this has been. We, as a family, have had numerous happy events this year. But we have had difficult times, as well. I pray easier times are here to stay.
I always miss you and Cheech. Sometimes it is overwhelming. The void the two of you left is enormous, and a day will never pass that I do not think of you....

Wow Michael. Seems like yesterday you were born and then you became a Cowboys fan. I know why they are doing so well this year. Four of the biggest Cowboy fans are in Heaven. Grandaddy, Charlotte, David and you. I miss you terribly. Yesterday was so sad. I love you. Give yourself a hug from me. You are always on my mind. We never had enough time together. Someday we will.
Mom
