I love you so much Mike. I promise to be a good mommy. You are my blue eyed everything and I am not sure what I will do without you. I had a dream about you, and feel your warmth around me. I love your family and promise to remain close to them. They give me comfort and even though I will never fully heal, I will be the best wife and mother and know you are with you always. Mikey and Bean will always know how great of a daddy you are and how much you love them. Until we meet again my love you will live in my heart.

Kelly,
I never thought in a million years I would be writing this.I remembered when I first moved out here, you guys were so nice. your brother was one of the few I can say was a SWEETHEART.Even though its hard,I pray you find peace in knowing that God has another ANGEL. Though its going to hurt a lot, just know that he's always there in times of sorrows. We will continue to pray that you and the family find peace in God.
God be with you and your family in these hard times.

Sending prayers to the Hughes family to make you strong during this unbearable tragedy. As Kelly's poem said "Do not stand at my grave and weep" because Mike is not there he has found a better place and is waiting there for all of you. I love you Kelly and I will be there for you always!

The "Mike" crew has it's history. We have all been through some times together and I can't really conceive that any of this actually happened and it's complete deja-vu all over again, for those that know. I've always looked up to Mike and not entirely because of his height, he's always been one of the most intelligent men I know that would always go out of his way to make you smile.
Now that your watching over us its time to take care of whats due, We will all always miss you Baby Blue.

I did not know Mike well but I do remember him always being goofy. I remember playing at Kelly's house and us being silly girls annoying him to no end but he just laughed at us. I am sorry for the family's loss and I am praying for you all. Mike will be missed.

The sudden loss of Michael is a great tragedy. He has touched so many people in so many different ways. Although he can not be with us in the flesh, Mike will always be with us in spirit. He is our guarden angel. Mike will always live on through our stories and memories of him. Mike will be deeply missed.

I don't remember life without him, and it's going to be near impossible to learn how to cope without being able to pick up the phone and hear his sweet voice. I love you Mike, more than you could have ever imagined!!!! Love, ur only Big Sister Carie:(

Our hearts are saddened at the sudden loss of Mike. Tragedies like this can really be hard for a family to understand. We pray that God show comfort to those who will recieve and to those who won't, may they see God's mercy and Grace work through others. May he rest in peace and may his memory live on through his wife, children family and friends. We love you Mike!

My heart is so heavy, I have empathy with the whole family. Mike was my son's best friend since 7th grade and my son died when he was 24 years old in 2003....Mike was a pallbearer. I know and understand your pain. I can tell you that as time goes by the pain will lessen. We loved Mike!

I have so many memories of mike and josh, and just all of us growing up together. This has knocked me off my feet. I can not absorb what has happened. I don't want to believe that this has happened. Mike was a wonderful guy and I loved him very much. He always had a kind word for me and was always just so laid back! I will miss him dearly.

Micheal, I will always remember the great times you, Angie and I had. Now you two are together and I am left behind. I will miss you and I wish I had been able to spend more time with you. Please forgive me for not reaching out more. You were such an important part of my life growing up. You will be in my thoughts until we meet again on the other side.
Love,
Kris

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above. Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love. Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you." It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone. God gave me a list of things to do. And foremost on that list, was to watch over you. When you lie in bed at night, know that God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night. When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. Do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain. I know you don't understand, but one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over, be contented knowing....that my life has been worthwhile. When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind; I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind. And when it's time for you to go....remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Michael I love you and miss more than I can even begin to express in words. I don't know how I am going to go on without you. You are my gentle giant. My sweet, loving brother. For most of our lives we were inseparable. I can't bear the thought of never seeing you again & never being able to reach up & give my tall skinny brother another hug. I love you Michael & I will think of you every day & you will live on in my beautiful memories of you. Every time I see your beautiful children I will give them some of your love. I wish you were here with me right now, drinking a can of pepsi that I would have had chilled in the fridge waiting for you. God Michael... I can't stand this... I need you here! My heart is broken.
This poem is what we'll put on your grave. This was your favorite:
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 sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
I love you Mikey! Vince, Alana, & Vincie love you too!
Your loving sister forever,
Kelly
