Mike and Renee, Cassie and Alex,

There are no words that will take away your pain. For that, I am sorry. I only hope that you may find comfort in knowing that Michael will be watching over you, and will forever be with you in your hearts.

My biggest regret was that he and I did not keep in contact in recent years. I have so many happy memories with Cassie, Mikey, and Alex. I have you, Mike and Renee, to thank for those memories. You raised three wonderful children, who turned into wonderful, young, adults.

Mikey, remember that day I tried to jump the backyard fence, and got stuck? I will never forget you. The scar on my leg is proof.

Rest in peace, Mikey.

words are not good enough, flowers hold no fragrance, hugs are empty, God doesn't seem to be around. Your pain is so deep you think it will never cease. Renee, Mike, Cassie, & Alex, you are loved. your pain is truly understood by those who have walked in the cement laden footsteps you are now trodding. It is promised to us that our burdens will be lifted, and truly it will happen. My love and truest, deepest sorrow belongs to you.

Mike and Renee - So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Catherine Zilka
