My Dearest Michael It is hard to believe you left us 15 years ago today. I still think of you and miss you so very much every single day of my life. I will cherish and carry you in my heart always. I am so blessed to have been your wife. And, for a bright and shining moment we shared Camelot. Eternally yours, Elizabeth

My sweet, sweet husband Michael. It is still so painful and hard to believe that on June 7th you have been gone from my side for the past 5 years. I grieve and miss you so much and I still haven't gathered all the pieces of my shattered life without you. There isn't a day that I don't think of you and how wonderful you made me feel and changed my life forever. You will always be my Superman and Knight in Shinning Armor. Michael, thank you for all the love, joy, happiness, laughter, caring, support and understanding you gave to me. I thank God for bringing you into my life and I will miss and cherish you in my heart forever. My darling husband until we can be together again I am sending you all my eternal love, Elizabeth

My darling Michael today is Valentine's Day and two days ago was your 65th Birthday. I miss you so much. I wish I could see your beautiful face once again and throw my arms around you and hold you tight and never let you go. Thank you my sweetheart for being such a wonderful husband and loving man. You are the love of my life and the joy of my soul. You changed my world forever. Loving you always, Elizabeth

Hi Daddy, I miss you so much. I think back to the times when I was a kid, and the things we did together, I will always cherish those memories. I wish we had more time for things like that, but I guess god needed you with him. I never realized how short life is, I always thought that you would be around forever, you will always be my superman. I just still can't believe you are gone, I still try to call your cell phone so I can talk to you, I guess they finally gave your number to someone else, some lady answered the other day. I know you are with me, watching over, and protecting me like you always have, but what I would give to be eight again and to sit in your lap on a Saturday night and watch star trek, or lay out in the back yard with a tub of popcorn and look up at the stars, I really miss those times, and it wasn't what we did, it was just being with my Dad that I loved so much. I miss and love you so terribly much!

My darling Michael. Today we would have celebrated your 62 Birthday. I remember how we planned to celebrate by attending the opening of the Winter Olympic's in Vancouver Canada and the start of your retirement. It has been twenty months since you've been gone from my life and it seems like an eternity. My heart is still shattered in a million pieces and the tears still flow each night. I miss you so much. I would give anything to feel your strong arms around me and your wooly beard tickling my cheek once again. Your boots and flannel shirt are still right where you left them and there isn't a moment in each day that you aren't in my thoughts and heart. I love and miss you so much. I know you are watching over all of us and keeping us all safe. I truly believe you will be at the Olympics taking in all the wonderful sites with your warm and beautiful blue eyes. Happy Birthday my sweet,kind and wonderful husband. Missing and loving you until we are together again, Elizabeth

Although we only met the one time I was saddened by your passing. Now that this guest book is online I can properly express my sympathy for your survivors and the earnest prayer that you are at peace.

It's been over a year dad and it feels like just yesterday. I still cry myself to sleep a lot of nights. I miss you so much. I'm getting married next weekend, but I'm sure you already know that. There is nothing I would like more in the world than to have you there, but I know that won't happen. I love you daddy.

Well daddy it's the 4th of July and I miss you more than ever. Everything I do I think about you, sometimes I sit on the back steps and stare at the boat and I picture you sittin behind the wheel with your hat turned backwards so the wind don't blow it off. I still feel like I'm living in a nightmare that I just can't wake up from. I miss you and I will always love you. Thank you for being my dad, you are the best.

Michael D,
How quickly life can change and loved ones are gone much too soon. Thank you for the best things in my life, our sons. They love you so much and miss you terribly. Keep an eye on the grandkids; they'll always need their guardian angel grandpop.

My Darling Michael I miss you so much and I still can't believe your gone. I can't stop crying. Everything reminds me of you. Your work boots and shirt are exactly where you left them. I keep hoping you'll walk through the door and come home to me. My life will never be the same without you and I will grieve and long for you until we meet again. You are my soul mate for eternity. Thank you for loving, caring, being my best friend and husband for the most wonderful years of my life. I love and miss you so much and your memory I will carry in my heart forever.
