Hi! Mike
Its been awhile since I have written you. You are always in my thoughts and Grandma's prayers. I can't believe you would have been 25. I miss you something awful. I still cry and feel and empty space in my heart. It will never ever be the same here again. You brought so much laughter to our home. You could make me go from very sad or mad to forgetting why I was feeling low just by making me laugh. I cry a lot since you been gone, ecspecially in the late evening when the house is quiet. I hope that you are happy, loved and content. that is all I have ever wanted for you. I love you so very much and miss you so very much. Love you, MOM

hi Michael. Well it looks like we all made it through another Christmas and New Years without you here. We made it not without a lot of tears and thoughts of how much we would love having you here. Its been tough I try to be strong and hold back the tears. I know the pain is so deep anybody says anything negative to me I tear up instantly. We had a good Christmas. Its as if you still take that special spot under the tree. I feel your with us on that day. We are going to celebrate New Years in a happy fun way with friends and thats how I feel you would want it because we never really brought people together on that day. We are going into another year of learning and challengeing what life has to give and this year my challenge is to finish my education. I will do it by the year 2008 and can go to a job that I have earned and be proud to say that. I hope your proud of me. I love you and think about you daily and so does Grandma
Strickland. She always bring you up as I do and just loves and adores you like the first time she saw your face. She was the first person to see your beautiful face. We sit and remember the good times and that is what we live for day we will see you again.

hi! its my birthday and its sad because you are not here and it has never been the same. You gave me such love and respect and I always knew how you felt about me. You never wanted me mad you never wanted me sad. I feel that when you left that left too. I sit if I'm sad I am sad and if I am mad I am mad and thats just the way it is. I wish so many times you would come and say its ok mom, its ok, but I know I have to think that for myself. But its so hard . The words I can't hear the hugs I can't feel. Its just plain empty without you here. love you and miss you tons, mom

I wish you could meet them you would like them. I cried at the fireworks and stuff, but its hard when they have a celebration like that on the same day that I put you at rest. I wish you were here. I love you, MOM

I sit here with your picture everywhere on my computer on my wall in my car. I sit lately in just disbelief. I can't believe that your gone. I so wish I could turn back the times and be able to stop it but I can't and that is so hard to deal with. I miss miss miss miss miss miss you so so so so so so so much Mom

June 17, 2006
This is the hardest time of the year for me. People say it gets easier, but it does not. I can't believe in one more week you will have left us two years ago. It still seem as if you will walk in that door and say sorry I was gone for so long and me being mad that it was so long. If only it was that simple. Life just goes by so quickly. I love you and miss you so so very much. Mom
There is a song that is out right now and it just reminds me how my heart feels and the way that I am feelings wise toward others. It is about your heart no longer being whole and that the world can have whats left of you. I do feel as though I give of myself but there is a piece of me that I can't share that empty space in my heart since two years ago and forever cannot be filled. I accept that and I think other people do to.

The months of May, June, July are ecspecially hard for all of us. We recognize your birthday in May. We mourn the day you passed away in June and the day we layed you to rest in July. All months, days, minutes & seconds your in my thoughts. Sometimes I sit and think about some crazy things we use to talk about. I always loved the way we could talk about anything. I was always happy with the close relationship that we had. I could come and talk or cry to you and you felt the same that was truely amazeing. The hole in my heart is deep and the longing for those conversations is difficult. But in life we have to move on because the world and the loved ones that we have here need us too. Thank god for that. But there is always something missing and that is you. I Love you so very much and miss you terribly.
Love you, Mom

Michael
I faced another Mothers Day without you. I always go back to the final letter I received from you the year you left us. I hang onto that letter as if it was the bible. It let me know that you love me and you know that I loved you very much and some people will have someone die and question whether that person knew that they loved them. I don't have to question that. Your birthday is comeing soon and it is still hard to feel good about that day without you here. I go back to the day that I gave birth and your beautiful face when you were born and wish I could have that all back again. Those were the days when nobody could get to you. The growing up is so scarey. We as parents have to sit back and hope that you as adults make the right choices. I love you and miss you so very much, Mom

I know I have not written you in a really long time. You know me I can hardly sit that long. You are always on my mind. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you at least several times during that day. Its hard to believe that you have been gone almost two years. It feels a lot less than two years. I know though that your at peace. I feel it in my heart and my soul. Chris is getting so big. He is going to be in 7th grade next year. It's great it is defanately his sport. Michelle makes me proud she is my backbone. She is turning into quite the woman. Dad is going to finally graduate from college. I am just the same working and all the normal stuff. I love you and miss you so very much and you will always be my special baby. Love, MOM

Hello, it has nearly been a year since I last wrote to you. It is hard to get the motivation to write and remind myself you are not coming back. I hope that it isn't viewed as not missing you, or that I have fogotten you. It will neve be for that, but as everyone knows I am not the best at expressing my feelings. Things have changed so much since you have been gone, but that nor what is in the future can ever change the time you had with all of us. I know that there will never be a day that goes by that you are not in everybody's hearts and thoughts. I don't really know what else to say without duplicating everything already said. I just want you to know that me and everybody else still hold you close. I guess that's all until next time!

I want to share it through this guest book with all the people who love and miss you. Nobody can miss you as much as I. When you passed away a big part of my heart disappeared. and is lost until I see you again. I love you, Mom

Hi! I'm sorry that I have not written in her for quite ahile. I have missed you very very bad. The holidays are here again and your not here for the 2nd year now. People always told me that it would get easier and of course life goes on. I have solid weeks of crying. I sit and think about how excited you would get with the holidays you were so funny you would start asking where your presents at right after Thanksgiving. You could always make me smile. You never would allow me to be in a bad mood.
I talk about you all the time. I see some of your friends come into where I work and that helps because its a part of you that is still in my life and makes life not feel so empty. Chris can finally talke about you and feel ok. Be happy it took him and long time. Rick has been a friend that you should feel proud to have had. He comes over all the time and calls. He is a very special person and is loved by are family very much. Well I will write again soon. Remember I love you and miss you so very much. Love MOM

Hey Michael, Sorry it's been along time since I have written you. WellIt's been over a yr and it still feels like you just left us. We miss you like crazy. This isnt fair that your not here with us. I know spiritually you are but I miss having you around, hearing your laugh you had that kind of laugh that can make other people laugh too. Your jokes could get some one from being unhappy to very happy.You had a smile that light up a room. You are just a perfect 10 arent you. Every one loves you soooooooooooooooooooo much. Including me I know I barly said it but every one who knew me knew how I felt about you.You amazed me at least once a day. You mean the world to me I love you so much. I cant wait to see you and give you the biggest hug that you have ever had. Love you more then a millon skittles xoxo

I still cannot believe that it has been a year. I am not going to say anything sad or what has been repeated over and over again. Of course I miss you and of course I hurt. I know when I go to the cemetery that I feel a lot better than worse because I just feel a connection whenever I am there. I just know in my heart that you would not want us to cry and be sad all the time. You did not like it in life and than so why would you like it in death. I do miss you and I will always love you and wish you were here, but without seeing you I have a sense that you are here. I love you my beautiful boy. Mom

If I had only one wish, do you know what it would be? It would have you be here with us. Mom miss's you too. I dont like not having you with us. It is just so hard you have no idea.

That is the worst pain in the world.You lived life for the fullest. I admire that! ! ! I admired every thing about you! It has been too long sence god has taken you from us.

Hi! I have'nt written in a while. Even though I have not written a think about you several times in one day. Your birthday was a very
difficult one for me. I took the day off. I was glad I did because it was as rough as I thought it would be. I just can't believe that instead of argueing over a gift that costs to much and picking out the perfect cake I was at the cemetery putting red, white and blue balloons and a plant. I was actually mad. I felt it was so unfair that I could not do it the way that it should be done. We had a party at the house yesterday for Scotty leaveing a lot of people came.We had a real good time and stayed up until 2:00 am. Rick and I sang Karaoke. We had a good time and if you were here I hope you had a good time too. I so wish we would have been having these barbeques when you were still here.
I felt we had to stick together after you passed away. I love you and miss you unbelieveabley bad.

Hi! my sweet son. I miss you so very, very much. Mothers Day has came and passed and I got through it ok. I kept myself real busy planting flowers. I picked out a lot that I think you would have liked them. I feel you were with me that day. I did ok. I broke down yesterday because of a song that I heard"Perfect" by simple plan. I have always felt like nobody is perfect and you always felt that you were less than perfect and I never felt that way. To me you were more than perfect. You obviously have reached perfection if you are in heaven. I hope I go there. I sometimes wonder how that works. We all talk about the memories and we all wonder if your happy and ok. Send us a sign and give us the comfort of knowing, but than again, I just feel inside that you have to be fine. I Love and miss you so so so much. Mom

Hello again, as you probably know I have started to write several times. Then I don't finish, because I never know how. It's getting really close to a year, and it still isn't easier. In a sense it feels like it has been forever since I last talked to you. But, in another it seems like it was just yesterday. Everybody seems to be doing fairly well. We have to go on with our lives, but they will never be the same. I hope you know how much you mean to all of us, and always will. You may not be able to be here with us, but your memories will always be here. I'm so thankful that I was able to spend the time I did with you. I hope you are enjoying yourself, and that you are doing better than the rest of us!

Hey Mike, sorry it's been a while. I miss you so much. I think I might have a boyfriend soon,I hope so it's about time right? But knowing my luck it wont happen. I wish it does though. I think you would improve of him. He's nice! I wish you were here to meet him. So I went to go see you the other day. I didnt like the fact that you didnt have grass. It was nice to go and see you. It's been to long.

HI, Its going on your birthday. I can't believe that I will not be able to see you and wish you happy birthday. I miss you asking me where your birthday cards are 2 months ahead of time. If heaven is a good and happy place I have faith in your celebration being a good one. I just had a garage sale and it was wierd. I have not had one of those for ages and I know you hated them. CHristopher wanted one so I said ok. Of course as you know I have no clue about that word no. I love you and miss you, MOM

I can't believe how the world keeps going on without you here but it does and so do we. We got a season pass renewal with your picture on it in the mail today. What I wouldn't give to say look mike go online and you have your season pass. Its been tough with things like this and your income tax it makes it hard to believe that your really gone. Its harder than ever now that Grandma Yates is very ill.
She made me a promise that she was going to give you a huge hug and than a big spanking from me. I love you and miss you so very much you are in my thoughts several times a day and I believe always will be. Love you, Mom

Hi!. I have seem to be having a hard time lately. I have days when I cry and than I have days when I feel lost and not knowing why. You were and still are a big part of my thoughts and feelings. I have became so much more concious about what I'm saying or feeling about people. I know your presents when I am in a bad mood. You are definately the one making me trip or walk into walls. I know I was not doing that before. Its ok every once in a while I need a swift kick in the ______. Were coming up on the 9 month mark. I cannot believe it has been that long. Easter is coming too. It was never one of your favorite holidays. You would be happy to know that we are not having Turkey or Ham. Its a normal day with a few extras. I love you very much and I also needed to tell you that Grandma went and lite a candle for you in church on Saturday. She is always saying her prayers for you and misses you very much. I love and miss you, Mom

God only knows the hell you guys are going through. It's strange the things you feel determined to hang on to and when you lose them you feel you've lost a piece of that person all over again....But I know from experience that when you get to your new place, there will be something there that brings Mike there with you. You will stumble across something that reminds you of him, and it will leave you wondering if it was him who put it there. Everytime I see a unicorn I think of Sandy, I wonder how and what she would think about Lorelei. And just when I think she's slipped my mind, that I'm not remembering to think of her daily, something reminds me of her. I think she was the farthest from my mind on Lorelei's birthday but Kevin and Tami brought her a stuffed unicorn and I couldn't help but think Sandy had a hand in it. You will NEVER lose Mike, he wouldn't let that happen. He'll keep popping up in little ways no matter where you all end up. Please let Bill and I know if you need any help when moving, we'd be glad to lend a hand. Keep Your Heads Up - God Bless you guys!

We are getting real close to Easter. I loved when you enjoyed helping me with the easter eggs for the kids to look for. You would have made such a wonderful father. I hope with the grace of god that if we get to live a life over that you will be able to live the dreams you should have been able to live. I just will never understand why God needed you more than we do. He is certainly lucky to have you. I know sometime we shall see eoughother again. I have to tell you how proud of Scotty I am. He has been doing plays at Mchenry College. I did not see the first one he was in even though Rick and Michelle went to see that play and said Scotty did well. The play that he was recently in was hilarious. THe part seemed so written for him. I enjoyed the play a lot and love to see that Scotty is doing posotive things with his life. I have not been real well lately I am feeling very depressed lately. I am hoping to have a combination your birthday and scottys birthday and going away party. I will talk too you soon I love you so very very much and miss you beyond belief. MOM

This has been 8 months long. I wish I could say all is well. I thought this year will be a better year, but
its not of course nothing could compare to the pain I went through in 2004 and still the hurt still continues when it comes to missing you. We are haveing to move and I just can't handle the fact that you were in this home with us and now we will have to leave. Whats wrong with me you will be with me wherever we go. It just seems like everything that was yours and has to do with you I am feeling forced to get rid of these things. I gave away things to people that I hope you felt you would want them to have and trust me they wanted to have the things that meant the world to you with them. THis may sound stupid but its like holding on to a piece of you. I have your car and I just pray that it last a long time. WE both know that cars eventually don't work. That means
I will be forced to have that taken from me. Now I sit in a home that I Have to leave on the terms of the owners. I feel as though I am walking out the door and really saying goodbye and feel as though I am leaveing your soul behind. I am not wanting to leave it is something that we are having to do.
It may be the best for Chris because he is having such a hard time in school. Therefore there may be a better school for him. I love you and miss you with all my heart. Love Mom

Hi! its been awhile since I have written in this guest book. I am so sorry that I have not written it surely does not mean that I am not thinking about you or missing you something awful. Sometimes it wierd I can almost feel your presents even though I can't see you. I need to go to the cemetery. I want to go but it has been so cold and there are so many people that are all around you. I hope it is comfortable and that you don't feel crowded. Valentines day was strange without you. That has always been a good holiday for you. I always like to see the romantic side of you. It is always nice to see that your son be good to a woman. I feel I did something right, not much else. I could have been a better parent and maybe you would still be here. I know you don't blame me but I blame myself all the time. I miss you so bad. for some reason the last couple of days have been bad for me. I have had so many outbursts of tears and just pictures of that day. I hate that the picture of you that I see is that day. But its that last one I saw. I will always miss you and always love you. Rob is moving on he has a girlfriend I am so happy for him. Rick is working and hanging out with Michelle, Scotty and Kevin. Everyone seems to be moving on with life and thats great because we have no choice but to move on. It seems wrong at times like we should all vegatate. We can't the world will not allow that to happen. The world keeps on going on. To stop living would hurt more people than just ourselves. I believe that you would want it that way. I know if the tables were turned I would want you to be happy and move on. I love you and miss you. Mom

Hi Michael! You have been on my mind like 24/7 latly. I dont know what my problem is. I just miss you sooooooooooo much. I wish I could turn back time and change every thing that happend that week. Maybe even switch if you know what I mean. There is a saying that you dont know how good you have it intill it's gone and you cant do anything to change it.It is sooooooo true. You were the best thing that happened to me. I love you sooooooooo much. Nobody knows how it feels and how much it herts not having you in my life. I know we werent close but I know how much you loved and cared about me. Please mike make these tears and the pain go away. I dont what to feel like this any more.Most of all I am so sick of having to hide it and act like life is jus dandy when its not. I LOVE YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH. I hope you are in peace and happpy. I miss you.XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX OXO

It's me again, once again not knowing where to begin. Valentine's day is a few days away, and it's becoming harder than I thought it would be. It's strange that we spent such a short time together, yet you have such a huge impact on my life. I'm trying very hard to better myself and the things I do. But, it's hard when I'm constanly wondering how things would be if you were still here. Your mom bought Harmony another dog for Valentine's day, and she named it Mike two. Now, she has Mike, big Mike, Michael, and Mike two! She still doesn't name anything but her dogs since you bought her one last year. I guess I'm not the only one you made an impact on. I'm sure you're looking down on all of us and already know this. But, I still have to write it anyways. I know I never told you how I felt when you were here; but, I hope you are looking down on me and know now.

If I had only one wish that would actually come true.Do you know what it would be? It would be a full day just to be with you.i love youxoxo

It has been seven months since you have been gone. Somedays it feels like things are getting easier, and others it seems harder. It will never be ok that you're gone, but we do have to accept it. I keep your pictures and all your stuff on a shelf in my room. Harmony looks at the pictures all the time. I try and explain it to her, but she doesn't fully understand. But she does know how much you loved her. She names every stuffed animal dog she gets after you. I wish you could be here to see how big she is getting. I'm sure you're watching over her though. I hope you know how much all of us miss you and how much you will always mean to us.

Well, the holidays are finally over. I made it through them, but it wasn't easy. I thought it would be just like any other year. But, there was something missing from everything I did. I didn't have anyone at your house giving me a hard time for no reason. I didn't have a purple rose or anybody to hold me. It will never be the same without you. It's the stupid little things that I miss most. Like the way you used to look at me. Or the things you would say just to make me smile. I spent a lot of time with Jamie for my birthday and New Years. We needed the weekend together. But, I still wish you could have been there with us. Harmony got a big dog for christmas she named it big Mike after you. She told me on christmas how much she missed you. On my birthday she was talking about you again. It makes me happy to hear her talk about you. It's amazing how much you touched her little heart. I hope you're watching over all of us and can see how much we all miss you.

Hi the sweetest angel in the sky. This was a difficult time of year for me and all of us. Buying the gifts and not having any gifts for you just seem like such a void after buying gifts for you every year for 22 years now nothing. Signing the cards was another difficult one. I had taken a picture of Michelle and Chris by the tree everyone thought that I had left an empty space intentional for you it wasn't but than maybe it was meant to be. I wish that was the case. Christmas morning was hard with you not being in your corner of the tree and wrapping your presents in blue wrapping paper. The wrapping brought me to total tears many, many times. I'm very happy to say that Christmas is over. We had people over for New Years Eve. We had Kara & Mike and Andrew, Bryanna. We had Sheila and Cammy and Allison. Rick and Rob and Ashley and Kristin. We had sang some songs. Rick and I sang the song I'm real. Everyone seemed to have liked it. Rob and Rick sang a song that usher and Ludacris sing. They did a good job too. Than to my surprise Kevin, Tammy, Billy and Tasha came over. It was great and we were having a good time until midnight. I bursted out in tears and everyone soon followed me with my flow of tears that we got in the car and when to see you at the cemetery. I felt better and so did everyone else. Well we got over another hurdle in this life without you. I miss you more than I thought I ever could it does not get easier if anything it gets harder and harder and I cry more and more everyday. Thats ok. I know sometime I will see you again.
When I do the tears of empty will turn to tears of joy. With all my love to you, Mom

Hi mike. New years just past and it was really hard to have fun with out you. I remember last year, you and Sarah looked so cute toghter. I miss you like crazy. Everyone went to go see you on new year's right after the ball came down. I would give any thing to see your face one more time. I was worried about Sarah on her birthday and new years'. She said she was fine but I can tell just by looking into her eye's that she wasn't. I think this holiday was hard for every body. There was alot of tear's shead on new year's. I can't remember the last time that mom and I cried that hard. You were very missed that day. I think you are missed by everyone more and more as the day's go by. It is so hard not having you here with us. You enjoyed life and you made sure each day was not wasted. I love you with all my heart and soul. I miss you with every piece of me. I hope that your happy were you are you deserve it. Rain some happiness down here. Give me some kind of sign that your happy.XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO I love you Michael. Your the best brother a sister could have...

I know it's been a long time since I wrote. It's hard to write, when that takes admitting you're gone. It's my birthday today, and I don't feel like celebrating. I had one of the best birthday's last year spending it with you. We didn't even do anything but hang out and watch tv. But, we were spending it together. This year I don't know how to celebrate when I don't have you with me. If today is this hard tomorrow will be even harder because we had an even better New Year's together. I may not have you with me for these things, but I will never forget the times I did have you. And your memories will always be with me. I miss you and hope that you're happier than the rest of us.

Hi! The love of my life. Michelle and I went to the cemetery Sunday the 5th to put a Christmas tree there. Michelle and I decorated it with blue garland and a Great big blue bow on the top. We put three ornaments on there. The musical note ornament is from me. Michelle bought a cross ornament. The ornament from Grandma is a clear plastic ornament of two doves kissing with a heart in between them. I hope you like the tree. There is someone new next to you. I was a bit disturbed by the fact that they thought they should be allowed to move the things that I have there for you and not put them back. I'm very sorry for there invasion into your space. I hope they stop moving things. I plan on going there today and making sure everything is ok and everyday that I can. The closer it gets to Christmas I have a much harder time.
The evening comes and I cry more and more just wishing I could have you here with me to have you say " do I have to do the lights today"?
I would give my life to have that arguement with you. You would love my Winnie the Pooh that we put up. Chris talked me into that. He said" Harmony would like that and you know how much I love Harmony so that was all it took. He is so incredable. He is so your twin. When you see God thank him from me for blessing me with such an incredable child. You were the same way. Michelle is doing ok. Rick, Rob, Michelle and Chris have been spending a lot of time at the mall. If anyone needs to get around the mall without a map you can call on them. One last thing to anyone that is still reading the legacy guest book. I would absolutely be delighted if everyone would go and put an ornament on the tree with a label saying whom you are. We all went there together. We don't have to be there together for you to go. All of you would hang out here for hours or days. We need to at least take a few minutes here and there to say you love him by visiting him there. Well, my love back to real life. I miss you with all my heart and soul. My heart is here and someday my soul will be there with you. I love you, Mom.

I am having the most difficult time. Christmas was your favorite time of the year, I didn't think that I could miss you anymore than I already did, but I have found that I can. I am making an attempt at putting up the decorations. This alone feels strange. The three of you always had a position by the tree. Your position will be empty and in my heart it is empty. How do I get through a holiday that I always achieved to make you happy and give you what you wanted every year. I can't do that this year. I'm a mother that doesn't know how to know how your supposed to celebrate a wonderful time of year when all as I ever feel is loss and greef. Nothing will ever be the same. The joy of the holiday is gone and buried with you. I am going through the movements for your sister Michelle and you brother Chris. Its merely something I have to do, but I am not liking it at all. Its just one more day without you and each day more it seems to stab my heart deeper. How can I live without my baby. Somebody please give me the instructions because I have no idea
how to bare the hurt and pain within my heart. With all that I am and all that I have, it will never be the same without you. Please have a Merry Christmas and know that I love you for eternity and that is my gift to you. I can only give you words and that is all I have. I love you, Mom

It's has been awhile since I wrote last. I can't believe you're really gone. I thought I had come to terms with it, and accepted it. But, I haven't really done that yet. I still expect you to be there when I pick Harmony up. But, you never are, and I know that. I guess I just don't want to admitt it yet. It's supposed to get easier with time, but I think it gets harder. Because with time I just have to admitt that you are never coming back. I'm sure you're doing better than the rest of us, and are happier. Which does put me at ease. I just wish that I could see you or talk to you one last time. I know that is a selfish way to think, but I miss you so much. Life does go on, and we have no choice in that. But, I hope that when my time is up I will be able to see you again. Until then I hope you are happy and are in peace!

I can't believe we have approached the 4 month mark. We went to St. Bede Church for a memorial service.
The people that cared the most is who I felt showed up. We went through the mass of course not without the tears. It was the first time that I was in the church since you have been buried. We all went to the cemetery and left flowers by all. We proceeded to the house for donuts and coffee. It was a little get together that we try to have as often as we can.
We find being together makes everyone feel better. I have to say that in life it is so hard to believe your gone. I feel numb. I love you and miss you so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so Much!!!!!!!!!!! Mom

I can't believe that 4 months has gone by since you past away. I had a horrible day yesterday. I seem to miss you more and more the longer that you are gone. I find life to be very difficult and just so small compared to before when you were still with me. I hope that heaven appreciates the person they have with them. They are so very fortunate to have a person that has a big heart, unselfish, loving, careing,and just such a person I wish I could be. I have a sense of humor, But only you could make me laugh when I was down. It never took much. Your laugh alone could bring a smile and a giggle.
I hope that you are happier everyone tells me that you have to be happier. For some odd reason I want to be selfish and say I much rather have him here where I can see your face. Like the glass in a mirror that shatters from a fist is how my heart feels now and forever. Until I see you I cannot glue the pieces together, there is always that splinter that you cannot fit in anywhere. I love you, MOM

A wonderful day at Great America

I have finally gotten the picture from Great America of all of us.
Michelle< Rob, Mom, Chris, Gavin, Rick. We had a great time there. The ride superman was GREAT! There is stuff missing from the cemetery, a plant and a vase. A lot of people are missing stuff, I think whoever does this robbing of a cemetery is sick. Well not much else to say beside a miss you terribly and love you very much. Love Mom.

We went to Great America on Sunday the 3rd of October with Rob, Rick, Michelle, Chris and his friend Gavin. It was a lot of fun, the rides were great. I just wish with all my heart that I could have shared that time with you. I remember how much that meant to you. The one thing that I have learned and now believe is that life is very short. I now live life everyday as though it may be my last and don't care what people think or say. People will talk about you to your face or behind your back, but if you let it get you and can take over your mind and than you stop liveing and I refuse to do that. I felt somehow someway that you were there with us just pushing me along and bringing out the laughter that you were always so capable of doing. I miss you every minute of everyday. I cry almost every night
I go in your room which you are not in anymore. I still call it Mikes room and it will always call it Mikes room. My love for you is heart and soul and it aches daily. I sit and ponder over what I could or should of done and I can never come up with a conclusion to my thoughts. I feel you are a very special person that God wanted to be happy with him. You were God given and he gave you to me and I was so lucky and blessed that he gave you to me for 22 years. You were my angel alive and now you are my and everyone gaurdian angel in heaven. I want to conclude with a picture of you and Sarah. You had such an effect on her life as well as Harmony. They both love and miss you. God bless you my loving son and for all eternity you will be remembered. Love Mom
