Dearest Randi,
All of us here in Southern California were deeply saddened by the loss of my nephew Michael. We know that he will be missed greatly. Michael was a very unique person who touched everyone's hearts. We pray nightly that Our Heavenly Father will bless you and everyone in the family with comfort and peace, and that He will wrap you in His arm and help you to feel Michael's Love. I would like to share with you a poem.
"God creates each soul differently,
so that when all the mud is finally cleared
away,
His light will shine through it
in a beautiful, colorful, totally ne pattern."
by M. Scott Peck
The light of God shone through Michael in unique and wonderous ways. God Bless you with love and may Michael's light shine in your heart. Love
Aunt Mary, Uncle Ernest, Granddad Butcher, and Matt.

Randi,
We can't imagine the pain and loss you feel. Just know that you and the baby are in our hearts. Though the last time we saw Mike he was so young, We see he was so talented and lived his short life true to his dreams.
All of our love,
Uncle Rex and Aunt Cathy (Butcher)

Randi,
I can't find the words to express how sorry I am for your loss. The two of you were so great together, and I echo Lori's thoughts, your time together wasn't even close to being long enough.
Please let me know if I can do anything for you. I'll be at working Saturday, but my thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family.
