Michael,
3 years ago today you left us. It still feels like it happened yesterday. The pain and sadness have not gone away. We are all still hurting and we miss you each and every day. You were the one person that could make any of us smile. You were the one person that could make our sad days brighter. You were the perfect brother, always there for us, always making sure we were okay. You loved us all so very much. You had a way of making us all feel so very special.

Now...

Hi Mike,
Another milestone has come to pass without you there to share in it with us. Actually, I'm not so certain that's true, but more on that in a minute. The first Bruce Springsteen concert to hit town since you passed away occurred on Sunday, and I went with Mary Jo, Fran, Margaret and Ellyn. Janine wanted to go at first, but as the date got closer I guess she felt she wasn't quite ready yet. It was a decision I understood and respected, but having now gone, I just wish she would...

Hi Babe,
Tonights the Bruce concert and for many reasons I couldn't bring myself to go. You were the one who introduced me to his music,and sang every song to me, and now when his songs come on the radio, I have to turn it off. Oh Mike its so hard without you having to do both jobs.I'm doing the best I can, but sometimes I feel it's not good enough. There were certain things you did better, and certain things you forgot to tell me,and some things you said to me did you say them to...

hi mike, happy 4th of july. lately with all me and the family have been going through i could sure use your words of wisdom. every one here misses you so much it just seems to cloud all we do. even though life goes on, thoughts of you always surface almost every day.i find myself choked up quite often from dumb things like a silver frontier on the road or a black pathfinder. i just got through tiling a friends three rooms and everything you taught me about tiling came right back to me and i...

Hi Mike,
I can't believe its been a year since you left us. My heart still aches everyday. I want to see your smile, hear your voice and your laugh. Most of all I miss how you made us all laugh. That part is so hard, I miss all your crazy stories. I miss you being here in the summer, us sharing the boys. Anthony and Danny miss you too. Anthony watches all the old videos of you and the boys at birthday parties. He wants you to come back. He just says he's sad. Danny helps so much and...

Babe,
A year has passed since you left me and the hole in my chest where my heart used to be just keeps getting bigger and bigger. A year has passed and I still cry myself to sleep in our big empty bed.Your clothes are still in our closet, your socks and underwear are still crumpled in the bedside table like you left them. Your razor and shaving cream are under the sink on your side on the bathroom cabinet.Just in case.... Just in case you come back to me.

So much has changed...

hey Goomba,
The amount that i miss you can not be fully expressed in this guest book. Even though we only we able to see each other once or twice a year, hearing your voice every now and then and knowing that you were down in Florida with the family made me content.

I have yet to post in the guest book, mostly because every time i sit down to write something, i bust out into tears. I miss you more and more each day, and I regret more then anything else in the world,...

Hi Mike,
Happy Birthday! I miss you, we all do. I can’t believe almost a year has gone by since you left. Sometimes I can’t even believe you’re really gone. Part of the “blessing” of living so far from you I guess. I’m not yet ready to say that time has healed our wounds, but I do think we all have grown a little more comfortable with the pain. Perhaps it’s just that our hearts have become a bit more calloused, and so it seems as if it doesn’t hurt as much. Or maybe that’s just...
