Dear Mike,
As I sit and reflect I realize life is unfair, I know it sounds selfish but all of these years later I still miss you so much! I carry you in my heart always. I wish you could fly to the islands to see what I´ve made for myself, I know we would have had a blast. I´m certainly missing you lately. Please show me a sign to show me everything will be ok. My usual optimistic self is feeling blue today, but I know you got me. Geeze it´s Halloween today too, remember the havoc we used to cause? Oh the good old days!
Love you forever

You were a blessing to us all
with your big bright smile
And we're so glad you came
to be with us awhile.
You filled our home with happiness
and made our lives complete.
The time we had with you
was far too short, but oh so sweet.
Now it comforts us to know
you're with the angels up above.
While in our hearts we hold you close
Surrounded by our love.

I miss your folks and seriously cant believe how much your brother looks like you, Im so proud of him what a handsome man he grew up to be you would be proud , your sisters are beautiful strong woman you would be proud of them too... I know in my heart your my living Angel and you would seriously laugh like crazy if you knew how many " Michaels" there were running around after your name. (Including a Michael of mine..lol)lol. I know your watching over us all. You are still everything to us all. Please watch over me& my family like I know you do, i cant believe I have 4 boys and am Lord willing having a girl in 2019 via IVF... I love you... I ALWAYS WILL....

Hi Mike, just dropping by to say hello. I was thinking of you tonight. Do you get to spend time with grandpa Charles? It is still hard to believe even after all these years that you are gone. Your family misses you always but they know you are still apart of them. That's all I got for today except please watch over your brother Matt. He could really use your love and guidance right now.
Love always,

Today you are 14 years an angel.
Had we not loved you so much we would not hurt so much.
We do not want to diminish that love by one fraction of an ounce.
So, we will hurt - And be grateful for that hurt
For it bears witness to the depth of your meaning.
And for that we will be eternally grateful.

If we could visit heaven
Even for just a day,
Maybe for a moment
The pain would go away.
We'd put our arms around you
And whisper words so true
That living life without you
Is the hardest thing to do.

No matter what we do
No morning dawns or evening falls
When we do not love and remember you.

Dear Mike,
As the years seem to fly by, As the days turn to weeks, and the weeks turn to years, I realize I was so blessed to be in your life for eighteen years. Through our childhood, through most of our teens, I look back and remember your bright smile, your hardy laugh and the way you loved life. I always saw the glass empty on this but I never realized how blessed I was to have you for so long because no matter how many days,weeks or years that pass no one can take away my memories of us, no one can un burn the impact you had on my life. I can say with all honesty I think of you all the time, I often find myself looking at Michael and explaining how he ended up with his name and how honored I was to be able to name my son after on extroadinary person like you! I miss you Mike no matter how many years that pass,no matter what state I'm located in, or what I'm doing, I miss you... Ive learned so much and wish so badly you were still here, to talk to, to hug, to hold, to know its all going to be ok... No matter what, there is one thing I do know and that is you are always around me,protecting me, protecting my family. Happy belated 30th birthday Mike!!!! I love you...

This year you'd be turning thirty,
A man completely grown,
But for us you'll always be nineteen,
As that's all we've ever known.
How we wish you were here today
even for just a little while
so we could say Happy Birthday
and see your beautiful smile.
Instead we'll honor you at home,
And remember you with love
We wish you all the very best
For a heavenly birthday above.

My Heart,
So hard to believe that we now leave your “20's” behind and move onto your 30's! I can hardly believe that I have a thirty year old, much less that you weren't here to share your twenties with us. I watch your friends as they have moved on, all grown up. Kids, marriages, jobs etc and in my mind we're still sitting out in the porch smoking our cigs and talking about your career choices. Time moves on in some ways and has stood still in others. In some ways your as close to me now as you were the day you left and in so so many other ways your just lost to me. But for sure Mike no matter how much times goes by, no matter how many birthdays come and go, I will never get used to you being gone, I will never get over my days spent without you, I will never ever get over your leaving.
And I will never ever stop loving you, missing you, remembering you…yearning to see you and hold you once again.
Happy Thirtieth Birthday in Heaven Mike. May you be happy, at peace and may you forever feel the love I hold for you in my heart and soul.
With all my love always

This year will be ten long years
Since you have gone away.
And though we seem to be alright,
We're missing you each day.
We miss your smile, which lit the room
The minute you walked in;
We miss your voice so filled with joy
We miss your special grin.
We can not see or hold you now
But we can feel your presence still.
Your spirit shines within us, Mike
We love you and we always will.

Ten long years Mike. I can't believe it. No matter that I live it day by day, it is still so unreal that I will never hear the sound of your voice, never hug you again or see that beautiful smile of yours. No matter how many days or years go by, I will never ever get over the loss of you. I can not, will not let go of you. You are and always will be a part of my day, my life, my heart.
Happy 10th Anniversary in Heaven Mike.
With all of my love, for all of my life.

Hey sweet child of mine. Here we are, your tenth birthday celebrated without you. I can not believe so much time has gone by. Every day seems like forever without you here and yet, a whole lot of days have crept by in the blink of an eye since you left. Weird how time has become………..
I still hear from a number of your friends who keep you in their thoughts/hearts and now there is another little one named in honor of you! How wonderful to know how much you touched people Mike, that all these years later they are naming their children after you. I know that everyone of those babies has a guardian angel in you and I laugh when I think about how many little Michaels will be running around in a few years.
I hope my heart that your happy and that each day is a wonderful experience for you. I appreciate that you stay close. I love the messages and signs that you send my way as they always bring a smile to my heart. Not too much can do that anymore Mike. Life has forever changed. I am lost and broken without you, but forever grateful for every moment of your time spent here
Happy 29th Birthday Mike.

Your time here was shorter
Than we wanted it to be,
And every moment you are gone
There’s an emptiness in our family.
We thought we’d have a lifetime
That we could share with you
We hoped and wished for many things
That now will not come true.
But no matter what may come our way
We’ll always have one wish
To tell you now and evermore
How very much your loved and missed.

Time may pass but the tears in my eyes are still there, and the scars in my soul from loosing you will last a lifetime. We all love you so much.You have impacted my life and I will always love you for that and be so thankful. I miss your smile that lights up anyroom and of course your laugh that no matter how bad a day I had just listening to you laugh was so uplifting. You are an Angel from above and I like to think you are holding my daughter who was born sleeping Jan 2011. You were such an awsome dad to Mikey. I am blessed to be having another baby in 2012, and in honor of you If its a boy he will be named after you. I miss you and love you so much but I know your always with me Stratford CT (Glenwood Ave)

You hold a place much altered
From when you once were here.
But nothing’s changed the way we feel.
Your in the love we share.
We may not hug or hold you
Except for in our dreams
But you have shown us, given proof
That life is not what it seems,
That death is not the end of life,
You’re not so far away,
That your life flows through each of us
As we love and laugh and play.
Our lives will be a tribute
We’ll do our best for you
The world will be a better place
Because you once walked through.

But memories of you will never die.
Thoughts of you fill each day;
We wonder why you were taken away.
Your life was short, it’s so unfair;
It’s so hard living without you here.
So many words left unspoken;
We’re forever changed, our hearts broken.
We honor your memory everyday
Forever in our hearts you’ll always stay.
Wherever we go, whatever we do,
We’ll always love and remember you!

Hey Mike,
I don't know how this happened but all I can say is you must've realized I didn't forget about you and came to mind. I was lying in bed and out the blue I said, "I should look on myspace or facebook to see if Mike is on there". But that thought faded because I knew that I wouldn't find a profile of you or know what mood you were in or see when was the last time you logged onto your page and it hurt Mike. The crazy thing Mike is that I don't even have any of that stuff. I hate those things. I think this is the first time in a long time that I've cried like this. I cried on your birtday knowing how you would tease me for being younger than you, but I hurt real bad right now. I think the reason why I thought about you in my sleep is because you came to me. I don't know if it was a dream or what, but its just really wierd. I'm sad and I'm mad because you aren't here anymore. There are so many questions I have because I just don't know what happened and why you aren't here. Hell, it doesn't really matter because either way it won't make you come back. I log onto the page your family made for you weekly to see your picture. I hope I'm not disturbing you up there, but I just want you to know I was thinking about you. My boyfriend is getting really worried about me typing and crying so I'm just gonna end this by saying goodnight and I love ya!
Oh...Deion Sanders has a reality tv show. Who would've thunk it..lol..Primetime would be on a reality tv show?? Okay..gotta go. G/n!

To his family,
Mike and I went to elementary, middle, and high school together. I always remember his birthday and think about him every since I heard the tragic news. He was a 49ners fan and I was a Dallas Cowboys fan. Every year when Steve Young went against Troy Aikman, he and I would go at it. I've searched the web since last week hoping to find a tribute to him for this day.
To Mike,
I remember you playin pop warner and biting your tongue often to wear you had to walk around with your tongue hanging out. You are always on my mind and when I told you I was leaving Connecticut to move to North Carolina you told me to not forget about you and I haven't. I miss you terribly and every since the fourth grade I've always remember your birthday of March 24. You always picked on me for being born in June and you being older. I miss you and love you.

Mike..
Each time there is a special occasion and I sit down to write you something it kills me. When I speak to you in thought I can just rattle on and keep repeating myself, it probably doesn't make sense to you at times and you are most likely telling me to shut up already. But when I have to put it in writing I feel it has to be more sensible in case others are reading. But you know what ..as long as you know what I am saying and what I feel is all that really matters.
Today would have marked your 25th birthday and I wish you could have been here for it. It eats me up inside as I always try to visualize what you would look like and what you would be doing. I am really blessed to have the memories of you that I have even though they are not quite enough. I hope that you are together with the family you now have where you are and are celebrating your earthly birthday.
Happy Birthday Michael I love and miss you dearly.

Michael,
Well, another year has come to pass. Out with 2007 and in with 2008. I look before me and see this long stretch of days............All without you in them! Little hard to find any excitement in that.
I saw your signs today, sorry I was busy and couldn't acknowledge them at that moment, but never forget I DO see them.........And thank you for them!
Since there is no linear time on the other side. No days, or hours, having a New Year wouldn't be feasible either, so I suppose wishing you a Happy One is silly. Just hard to get out of the habit of expecting things to be the same there for you as they are here.
Regardless, I think of you.........Well, I always do anyway............But, send out my love and good wishes to you on all of these "holidays and special occasions"
I love you Mike and more then anything hope that your happy!
With all my love, always
Mom

Hey Baby,
I hope your enjoying your Christmas in Heaven with all the family. Christmas has been crazy this year, so much going on with no time to deal with it all. I suppose that is a blessing in disguise, as it keeps me too busy to really sit down and wallow in the misery of your not being here.
But during those quiet moments, when it is just me and my thoughts............My soul screams out for you my son. I can't even begin to describe the ache in my heart, the hole in my life. Nothing will ever be the same Mike......Never. And I find it so hard to look into a future that is simply endured day by day. So hard to find happiness or joy in much of anything. A situation you would hate I know.
The kids got me a mouse pad with a picture of you with Grandpa back when you went to Arizona to visit. It is the neatest thing and the minute I saw it I burst into tears. Not only did I love the gift, but it was a tiny way of you being RIGHT there with me.
I read recently how the loss of a loved one changes a person. Both who they are and who they were to become. And the truth of that statement blew my mind. I feel so sorry for those of us effected by your loss.
Myself
Michael, especially
Steff, Matt, Dani
Your Dad
Jenna
Derek
And so so many others whose life you have touched.
I’m blessed that you were apart of my life Mike, blessed that you continue to be apart of it from spirit. But nothing makes up for the inability to see you, to touch you, to hear your laugh…………My God that laugh! How I miss you my heart……….
Be happy Mike, God Bless and Merry Christmas.
I love you forever and always, with all my heart and soul!

Another Thanksgiving and your not here.
It still makes no sense to me..
Of angel wings and heavenly things
There’s very little known,
For those who have the answers
Are, forever, from us gone.
Some day I will know the answers...
Love you

Happy Halloween Sweetie.
Hope you enjoy watching Michael this evening and reminiscing over your own days of trick or treating. You always were like a manic running from house to house, couldn't get enough of all that candy!
Remember when you would wear that real scary mask and you always needed to wait for the real little kids to leave a house before going up to the door so as not to scare them all away. How many of them took off screaming after getting a look at you and that costume!
Good times Mikey. I sure miss them.....And you.....so very much!
I love you my heart........Forever and Always!

Mike,
Happy Fifth Anniversary in Heaven!
I hope you and Papa Charlie had an enjoyable day today. I imagine that your anniversary in spirit is much like a birthday here on Earth was. A celebration of your entrance into the world. While you celebrated there, we were here remembering, reminiscing and mourning.
We spent the afternoon visiting with Matt, Jenna, John and Auri up at your place. It was so touching Mike to hear of your impact upon the lives of your friends. There was of course much laughter as you surely had the ability to amuse people! It is wonderful to know that you are loved and thought about enough, that five years later your friends take the time to come and visit with you. I am grateful to them and to you, for now they are apart of my life as well.
Your friends have all moved on in life Mike and that is a bit hard to deal with. College, careers, families...........I can't even imagine where you would be in life had you stayed.
Yet I know truly in my heart that where ever you are............You are having a blast!
I was thinking about Belle the other day and how she is at college, so busy with her new adventure. All the new people, places, and activities to surround herself with. She is engulfed in this new world of hers and the excitement of it all.
And I thought surely that is how it must be for you. You have an entire new world to explore and get used to. New people and places to check out. It must all be so exciting for you. Your world has expanded into something that is beyond our imagination. And I know your right in the middle of it enjoying yourself!
I hope that these past five years have been have been filled with the wonder of your world. I wish for you so much happiness Mike. You are the heart of my heart my son. May you be blessed in all things and know that your loved, missed, and remembered every moment of my life.
All my love always!

Five years ago today
We didn’t know you’d leave
Our lives were changed forever
It’s still so hard to believe.
Time has a different meaning now
Since you have gone away
Sometimes it seems like forever, and
Sometimes forever seems like yesterday
Our thoughts will always be with you
Our love will never end
Until God comes and takes us home
Our hearts will never mend.
With all our love, always

Hey Mike
Please keep an eye on your baby sister, she is up at college as you know. She has your gift of being really friendly with people just keep her in the company of the good people..You know what I mean..
Little Miky started a new school today and I know you were there to help him adjust, stay with him until he is comfortable.
Missing you a lot...
As you would say...Peace Out :-)

YOU ARE ALWAYS IN MY HEART, AND NEVER FORGOTTEN!

Hi Baby...........
Happy Fourth of July!
I hope you are enjoying the show of fireworks from up there. Just hearing them brings back so many memories of the many holidays spent with the Wauthier's. You and Robby running around playing basketball, Nintendo, swimming and then heading down to the water to watch the fireworks.
Those were the days of fun and innocence. If only we knew what was ahead...........
Every time I write you in here I start out with the intention of NOT being maudlin, but it always seems to end up there. I really don't want your time here on Earth to be thought of with sadness because your gone.
I work so hard to focus on the good you brought to so many, the fun.............And Boy Mike you were fun. One could always count on you for a laugh, a bit of silliness or simply a desire to smile at your antics.
You had amazing energy, an awe inspiring intelligence.........Gosh, even the mediums have been struck by how smart you are. And the girls..........Well, lets just say that pile of phone numbers is still scattered around! What charisma you were blessed with!
I can only imagine what life is like for you on the otherside Mike and I'm so sorry that I have no way of sharing your adventures with you.
But, I do know that your having a great time, that your still watching out over your loved ones here, and that when I need you.........You show up.
I love you my son with all my heart and soul...
Forever and always,
Mom

Mike
I know your watching whats going on and I know you are keeping an eye on the little man. I told him the other night when I dropped him off at home that when Sunday came for him to tell you Happy fathers Day I'm hoping he remembered.
I wish you were here so I could have also wished you a Happy Fathers Day. Five years has gone by so quick yet without you here it seems like I haven't seen you in an eternity. By the way your little sister Dani turned 18.....
Mom is being kind of like a radical these past couple of weeks she has been drawing up a petition against the Diocese to keep them from taking away all the decorations she spends so much time on for you. She is probably doing it the right way being congenial, she won't let me do anything yet because she says I go off on people..I don't think I'm like that :-)
I know you see what going on give her a little hand she could use a sign from you, make her smile for me..I know if anyone can YOU can...

Michael,
Another Father’s Day comes and goes Mike and your not here to raise your son. How very sad for both of you, and for those of us who love you both.
I have read that the first three years of a child’s life are the most important. Michael is way too small to appreciate it now Mike, but thankfully, he spent those important years with you. Surrounded by your love, hugs and laughter.
I can still see you kneeling down with your arms outstretched as he would get out of the car and run laughing and giggling up to you. You would then swoop him up for a great big hug.
Father and son....Both just so happy to see each other. That is a wonderful image to hold in my heart. I only wish he could remember it too!
I know you enjoy watching him play baseball. What a hitter, huh?
I just told him last week how much you would have loved to play ball with him. Teaching him how to pitch, hit and catch.
Of course the constant changing of the rules he pulls when he misses a swing is pure YOU! Like father, like son in so many ways.
You would have enjoyed him so much Mike.....
Happy Father’s Day my Heart!
I love you always and forever.

Hi Sweetie,
Well, yesterday was yet another birthday without you. Damn, where does the time go............and how did I get from there to here?
As I sat with you I counted them out. Five. From my fortieth through to today. How sad is that Mike?
Mothers should not celebrate birthdays without there children. Or Mother's Day. Or any damn day.
Life sucks.
Pity party over..........For now.
Because always I come back too.........I am forever grateful for the time I HAD with you. I am who I am today in part because you were in my life, because I raised you, because I loved you and continue to love you with every ounce of my being.
You were a gift to me a month before my 20th birthday. A gift I'll treasure always. You are my heart, my angel, my son..........
I love you forever and always.

Happy Easter Baby!
I hope your enjoying your holiday in Heaven with the family. After all these years it is so good to know that you have family with you that you actually know. Grandpa’s a junk food eater too, so I can imagine the two of you enjoying the candy you conjure up to celebrate.
I decorated your place all up as I always do, then I look at it and think………..I should be making this kid an Easter basket filled with candy not flowers and stuffed animals.
Kid holidays are the worst to go through and this one in particular because I remember handing you your last Easter basket.
It was late and I got so tired of waiting for you to go to bed that I just came into your room with it. You were on the phone and as I handed you the basket chuck full of candy I teased you and said……This is your last Easter basket, your getting too old for this!
Imagine how many times I play that conversation over in my head each Easter……
I miss you Mike and no matter how much time goes by or how many holidays I go through without you, it just doesn’t get easier.
I pray that your happy....That is all I can hope for now.
With all my love, always!

Hi Michael, Belated Happy Birthday.It must really be neat to spend your Birthday with Jesus.I hope you get to know your Great-Uncle Joe also He is one neat guy with a great sense of humor.Grandpa Chuck Uncle Joe and you could keep things hopping. If you are any way near as sweet as your Mother you have to be one great guy.Keep giving your mom signs it helps the pain of a broken heart.
March 24, 2007
Well Mike here we are.....20, 21, 22, 23 and now your 24th birthday. I just can't believe it. I can't put a face to you at 24. I feel like the world ended 4.5 years ago. Everyone else is growing and changing, yet this small piece of the world inside my head and heart is at a standstill. Weird, I know and truly impossible to put the actual feelings into words. Even attempting is crazy..........Or at least that is how I sound I know………
Thankfully, you can see inside my heart. You know and feel how much your loved and missed Michael. You know how often I think of you and the pain that I live with each minute. So you know I’m not crazy……….Just missing you crazily ;-)
It is said we pick our adventures...both the good AND the bad... on this journey so that our soul can learn and grow. You have no idea how many times I have said I just can't believe I chose this, I can't believe I agreed to help you with this lesson and how I would give anything in the world to renege on that agreement.
But the love I felt for you then obviously gave me the strength and the courage to agree to this nightmare and it is that love that I draw on now to help me through.
I pray daily that my loss, my tears, my heartbreak don’t hold you back Michael. You have a mission, a journey, one that was important enough that you needed to leave us. All I can do is send you my love, wish you success and know that someday, when we are together again, I will understand.
Until then....today as every day your in my heart loved, remembered, missed with every ounce of my being.
Happy Birthday Mike……………
With all my love always!

Mike
I try to visualize what you would look like at age 24. I wonder what you would be doing, where you would be working, where you would be living, who you would be with. I can't believe that this is your 5th birthday you are missing. Mom had a cake that little Mike picked out on Tuesday we all sang Happy Birthday to you. I didn't care for the cake that much but I did have a small second piece for YOU. We had some balloons to release and a few of them popped before we had the chance to let them go. I know you see whats going on and I hope you know you are really missed, and that you are still truly loved. This is your first year you will celebrate your earth birthday with Papa Charlie. Have fun and tell him we miss him too. Glad you have someone there with you who you are familiar with. I know you have my dad with you but you really didn't know him. I am a little more relieved to know there is now someone with you that you know.
See you soon.. Happy Birthday!
I love you
March 17, 2007
Well my heart, you and Grandpa are together now. So hard to believe your both gone. It does bring me comfort Mike to know that you met him as he crossed over.
I told him to give you a big hug when he saw you..........And then to smack you upside the head!
My heart hurts Mike, forever dealing with the loss of you. I know the chain is rebuilding on the other side, I know that one day I too will be meeting you again as I move on......but waiting is hard.
I hope you and Grandpa have a wonderful time together. I know you have lots to show and teach him. He was a little unsure of the whole idea, but toward the end there he decided it had possibilities.
So you two enjoy yourselves, continue to grow, learn and love from spirit and always remember, those you have left behind on earth will always love, miss and remember you!
All my love always Mike...

We'll miss you sitting on the end of the

have gone through five Christmas seasons without you.
I miss you so much Michael, and wish we could be together.

"If only once in a day, stop in the midst of a dark moment and look for the beauty nearby.” (Wayne Dyer)
Mike, I begin each day thanking God for the time I spent with you. Four years later I’m still in the midst of a dark “moment”. But, it helps to get through the days remembering and focusing on the time you were here, rather than on a future without you.
I am forever grateful that your lifetime……….short though it was, was apart of mine!
Happy Thanksgiving my Son……………
With all my love always,

Happy Halloween in Heaven, Mike! This always was one of your favorite sugar filled holidays. Guess what your little guy is being this year.... A ninja! Gosh, I remember you being one of those when you were around his age. Amazing how time flies Mike. Seems like only yesterday you were that small. Somehow you grew up, had a baby, and left me all in the blink of an eye.
I'm always shocked when I look back and realize how many holidays have past since you've been gone. How I get here is beyond me, but for sure I carry you with me........Every step of the way. Watch over your little trick or treater tonight Michael. And remember...........No tricks only treats!
I love you forever and always,
