Tori I´m so sorry for the passing of your brother. We´ve met a couple times, and you´ve been a musical companion of mine for the majority of my life. I also lost my brother last year. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Dearest Amos Family,
It has taken me a long time to sit down and write this note to express my heartfelt sympathy for the sudden and tragic loss of your beloved Michael. I have struggled repeatedly to try and select just the "right" words in an attempt to provide you some small sliver of comfort. I realize now there are none capable of taking away even the slightest portion of your pain.
Just know I, like so many others around the globe, are praying for your entire family. I ask God to watch over you all as you mourn Michael's death.
From reading the preceeding entries, I learned how Michael touched the hearts of so many people. I only received his smiles backstage when we both found ourselves at his sister's concerts. But even through this miniscule interaction, I knew a most incredible spirit resided within. He smiled not with his mouth, but with his entire being. Honestly, I feel sorry for myself that I didn't have the opportunity to know him any better than that.
Take good care of one another.
With much love,
sarah

Blessed Be..

Loved Ones...
My heart aches with yours. I do not know what it is to lose a child though I've come all to close. I do, however, know what it is to suddenly lose a husband.
My heart breaks with yours.
When no "sense" could get through God graciously sent me comfort and a glimpse of Light through music and the words of Tori, G.K. Chesterton, and C.S. Lewis. There was one continuous thought that was able to brake through and I hope that it brings some comfort to you, as it did me. That is something that Lewis had said regarding the loss of his wife, Joy...the pain that you now feel is but a part- or extension- of the happiness that you felt with Michael...the pain IS the happiness.
It is in that thought that I think "savor every bit of what you feel for if your heart breaks it is merely a reflection of the depth of Happiness that you share with Michael...and will for all eternity."
My Prayers and hugs and tears are with you all.
Blessed Be.
Rhonda

Losing a child before we go is the most tramatic things that can ever happen in our lifetime. A mother's ache is forever, and so is her love. Mothers love their children and feel their hurts and pain, their joys and celebrations; their hopes and dreams. Michael's star will always shine in the dawn and dusk of each day. To his children, your Dad will live in your hearts and memories for always. You will see your dad in all the beautiful things of life. The miracle of love is that no one can ever take it from us, even when we leave this earth. Look around you, for your loved one is everywhere. May your grief be comforted by Michael's love, his humor, his wisdom, and his memories.

"Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity. Your fear of death is but the trembling of the shepherd when he stands before the king whose hand is to be laid upon him in honour. Is the shepherd not joyful beneath his trembling, that he shall wear the mark of the king? Yet is he not more mindful of his trembling? For what is to die but to stand naked in the wind and melt into the sun? What is to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered? Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb. And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance." -Kahlil Gibran
My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this time.

To the Amos family,
My deepest sympathies with you all at this difficult time.
I hope this poem brings some comfort:
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
When you wake from sleep in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight
I am the soft starlight at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there, my spirit has not died

I worked with Mike at Richmond Memorial Hospital. I called him "Mikey" because he could eat anything the hospital cafeferia threw at him (as long as it was covered in Texas Pete). I will always remember him in his scrubs with that blue OR gown over them racing down the halls of the OR. I will always remember my friend Mike.

Dear Dr. and Mrs. Amos and family,
I would like to extend to you my deepest sympathy. I am very sorry for the tragic loss of your son, brother, husband, father and uncle.
My father passed away unexpectedly just over a year ago and I found comfort in the following piece from "The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran:
. . .Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. And how else can it be? The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven? And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives? When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. Some of you say, "Joy is greater than sorrow," and others say, "Nay, sorrow is the greater." But I say unto you, they are inseparable. Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed. Verily you are suspended like scales between your sorrow and you joy. Only when you are empty are you at standstill and balanced. When the treasure-keeper lifts you to weigh his gold and his silver, needs must your joy or your sorrow rise or fall.
My thoughts are with each of you.
~Olivia

It was an honor to have been able to say that I worked with Mike in Rockingham. He was always kind to both his patients and his co-workers. I used to enjoy our conversations of politics or stock market activities. Even though he was not working at Richmond during this time I can still see him walking through the doors with his green scrubs and the blue surgical cap on his head. He always had that little grin on his face.
There is one patient especially that would always ask for him. A lady in her 70's. No matter what type of day he had he would always be happy to start her IV and take care of her during her procedure. I really think if she could she would have adopted him as her son.
My prayers are with the family in their great loss.

i am very sorry for all of his family.
this is something that i found very beautiful and somewhat hopeful:
"death is nothing at all, i have only slipped into the next room.
i am i and you are you, whatever we were to each other we are still.
call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way we always used.
put no difference in to your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes together.
play, smile, think of me, pray for me. let my name be ever the household world that it always was, let it be spoken without effort, without a trace of shadow in it.
life means all that it ever meant; it is the same as it ever was; there is absolutely unbroken continuity.
what is death but a negligible accident? why should i be out of my mind because i am out of sight?
i am waiting for you for an interval somewhere very near,
just round the corner
ALL IS WELL."

Losing a sibling is the hardest thing I have ever had to overcome in my life. Losing my sister was like losing a part of myself. I wanted to write to assure you that you will find peace. You will always have him in your heart and the memories will keep him close.
Tori, your music has helped comfort me many times in the last 13 years. I hope that you can breath some of that in and use your words to help you and your family get through this. You are loved all over the world. There are many people praying for you and your family.
Many hugs to all of you.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I worked with Mike for 10 years at Richmond Memorial Hospital. It was an honor. When I was on call for the operating room I was always happy to know Mike would be on call with me. We were'nt just the CRNA, RN and Surgical Tech. We worked as a team. Mike never hesitated to help in any way he could. He was a co-worker but also a dear friend and he will be missed by many. You are in my thoughts and prayers. May God bless each of you.

We had heard my dad would die within a year and it was an extremely upsetting weekend. Luckily, good news came. I can't even begin to fathom the kind of heartbreak that you all are going through. Lean on your friends right now, it's the most you can do. You are a beautiful, loving family, this will only make you stronger. I am so sorry for your loss!

I will never forget him. He was a very kind and giving person. My heart goes out to each and every one in his family. May the love you have for one another and for Michael, as well as your memories of him, give you the strength you need to sustain you during this ever so difficult time.

I have never met michael, but know the devestation the family must be feeling. I am greatly sorry for your loss and hope that your hearts can find some peace during this tragic time.
This poem is for the family.
I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an afterflow of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways.
Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun.
Of happy memories that I leave when life is done.
Tori know your fans are thinking of you and your family and you are in our thoughts.
