Mike:
I just wanted to tell you how much your friends and family love and miss you everyday. Your mom and dad did such a wonderful job planning your party. They worked very hard to make sure your birthday was very special. I hoped you liked all our ballon kisses to heaven. Mike and Brian are getting so big and so handsome..looking just like dad. You can be very proud..really nice boys. Your mom knows you are always looking out for her and she looks for guidance from you always. She knows you are always there beside her telling her everything is ok. We all know you are happy and healthy in the hands of god. Keep smiling down on all of us...until the day we are all united again. Love & kisses, Aunt June Ann, Uncle Bob, Rachel and Robbie

Michael,
We will be celebrating without you tonight…celebrating your life…the wonderful son, brother, father, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend to so many. Our hearts are heavy but heavier today as we think of you on your birthday. It is hard to believe that so many years have gone by without you. We don’t stop believing that you are with us in spirit and it gives us strength. Tonight, we will gather and celebrate the years we had with you and share memories of happier days. Our balloons will fly high with our birthday greetings for you…missing you today and always…

Remember the laughter, the affection, the joy
not just the recent tears.
Cherish the memories, our hopes and dreams.
Hold fast to the love that we shared.
Be happy with the time we spent together
and being anew.
For I am not really gone,
I am closer than ever before.
As the morning sun rises
and throughout the busy day...I am with you.
Until the setting sun disappears on the horizon
and we watch the day turn into night...I am here.
You may feel a faint breeze stir round your head, while you slumber
as I gently kiss your forehead, "Good night."
The stars that shine so brightly in my heavenly sky
help me watch over you and keep you from harm.
I am the wind in the trees
and the song of a bird.
I am moonbeams in a midnight sky
and a glorious rainbow after the storm.
I am morning dew
and freshly-fallen snow.
I am a butterfly flying overhead
and a puppy happily at play.
I am a smile on a stranger's face
a gentle touch
a warm embrace.
Listen to the wind for my message of love.
Watch the sun rise and set in the sky with me.
Feel my essence encircle you with warm memories.
Open your heart to know...I am not gone.
Reach deep into your soul...You will find me.
I am here.
Have no fear.
I am with you,
Always.

My Beautiful Nephews, Michael and Brian,
There is nothing we can do,
to make him come back.
There are no words I can say,
that can replace the words you long to hear
There are no answer's to give,
that will satisfy your questions.
There is not another person that will ever take his place
and, there is no love offered that will ever replace the love you shared.
I cannot promise your broken heart will ever be complete. Just know that he never really left.
I do promise he hears you when you speak.
I will say he loves you no matter the distance.
I will not deny he is in a better place.
He is every you step you take.
He is in everything you do.
He is the air you breathe.
He is every beat of your heart.
He is like the wind. You can not see him... but you will always feel him.

Michael, God looked around His garden And found and empty place He then looked down upon the earth And saw your tired face He put his arms around you And lifted you to rest. God's gaden must be beautiful He only takes the best. He saw the road was getting rough And the hills wre hard to climb So he closed your weary eyelids And whispered "Peace be thine". It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn't go alone, For part of us went with you The day God called you home. I Love you Mike. See you in my dreams, Love Aunt B.J. And Uncle Billy.

When God calls upon our children to dwell with him above,We mortals sometimes question The wisdom of His love. For no heartache can compare with the death of a child who has done so much to make our world seem wonderful and mild. Perhaps God tires of calling the aging to His fold,So he picks a rosebud before he can grow old. God knows how much we need them and so He takes but few To make the land of heaven more beautiful to view.Believing this is difficult still somehow we must try. The saddest word mankind knows will always be "Goodbye". So when a child departs we who are left behind must realize that God loves The young and angels are hard to find! We Love You baby!!!!
