I don't know you but by these entries I realize that you did God's work while on earth. And that all we're requested to do. To know Him, love Him, and serve Him, and love your neighbor as yourself. You may have had a little trouble with the yourself part, but that's ok, no one is perfect. You touched so many people who miss you so deeply that they can't understand why you couldn't stay. I ask you to try and help them to be at peace with your loss, because you are at peace with God. No one is promised a long life in this world, not one extra second. That's what makes it so special. And you worked a lifetime full in His vineyard spreading love and kindness doing his work. We realize that our reward is the same whether we work an hour, or all day. Paradise is waiting, and we will see you when we get there. Great work Mike.

Today has been especially hard...I can't hold back the tears...I can't get you out of my head, nor do I want to. As much as it pains me to think about you, it makes me smile at the same time. Shooting stars, dreams, songs, everything makes me think about you. Your 30th birthday is this weekend - I keep thinking about how I got to spend some of it last year with you and how happy you were and the smile on your face when i gave you your present :) your smile is imprinted in my head, in my heart, and in my soul and all i can do is sigh a big sigh and smile myself when i see it in pictures and when i think about you. you touched my life and my heart in a way i didn't expect - when i found out about your passing, i felt a heartache i've never felt before. missing all of your services just made it worse, I never got a real chance to say goodbye :*( I hope you are up there celebrating this weekend with all the greats, even though i dont know if they will ever be as great as you! i love you and miss you with all my heart, and i will never forget you. Everyday...everywhere...you are with me <3 you will forever have a piece of my heart - im going to visit you again soon <3 may you always have light in the dark to find your way home <3 Happy Birthday Weekend Mike *kisses*

Michael Wells, u left such a void in so many lives, and are missed so much...I know myself, that our family thinks about u all the time, u were and are a beuatiful person, when I see pictures of little Mike I know that you are still here. RIP Michael.
February 20, 2012
Thought about u a lot yesterday. Took the little one to a place like Chuck E. Cheese's and it reminded me of the time we went and u emptied out the whole basketball game of tickets for my little sister. First time in a long time I thought of u and smiled instead of cried. Thanks for the 3 dreams in a row as well, although waking up afterwards is always hard. I loved you when we were kids, I loved u when we were together, I loved u when we became friends after, I loved u till your last breath, and I will love u until mine. Missing u always!

Dear Mike, Linda, Sally, Mike's children, and all who knew and loved Mike. I saw a "thank you card" in the newspaper today, and prayed the names were a coincidence.

I can't believe it will be a month tomorrow. They say love can touch us one time and last for a lifetime, well, that's the case for me and it gives me peace to know that you knew that as well. I hope I can speak to your parents when they are ready but i have reached out to other family members so I can feel closer to you. This is still a nightmare that I wish I can wake up from. Not one day goes by that I don't think of you, your children, and your family. May you rest in peace you so rightfully deserve. Please watch over me and all who loved you.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
