Mike,
This is hard brother. I want you to know I miss you and you were always a great friend from our days at Meister to playing in the pond catching fish and frogs behind Pine Village.

My dearest Michael,
Tomorrow it will be 8 years since you left us. I know you are in a better place with no pain. I will never stop loving and missing you. I know you knew how much I loved you and that love will always be in my heart. Your uncle Terry is going to visit you today, please help him get through his visit without crying. He misses you so much. He and I talk about you all the time. I know you are watching us closely and that is good. Please come visit me in my dreams one...

My sweet Grandson Michael,
I hope you know how much I miss and love you. I wish so much that you were here so we could celebrate your birthday together. I don't think I will ever stop greiving over you. Amanda has a beautiful baby boy, his name is Lennox. He is such a sweet little guy. She is so happy and her husband is very good to her and the baby.
I love you my dear very much and always will.
Grandma
