12 years Blanket, doesn't feel that way. I hope as you continue to soar high in those clouds that every once and awhile you send us a signal that you are still watching over us. Willie, still has a shrine to you in the shop. I am pretty sure it will remain as long as Willie is there. Wish you were still here, playing practical jokes and making us laugh. Ride with God amigo. xoxo

Oh how I miss you my baby brother! It´s been 11 long years without you. Not a day goes by that I don´t think of you. I know you are always looking over me and that brings me comfort. I only wish you had time to spend with EJ and Michael. I know that you, mom, and abuegigi are glowing in glory and at peace. One day we will all be together again. I miss you.

Michael, no one will ever know how much I miss you. My heart still hurts like the day you left us. I can't believe how much time has passed. I still have your number locked in my phone as if someday I'll be able to call you up and hear your voice again. I don't know why, but you have been on my mind all morning. Feeling like I just needed to drop you a line. I love you brother and we will see each other again.

It's been just over two years now and I still can't believe you are gone. I never stop missing you. There is still a huge void in my heart and in my life that you once filled. I think of all of the great times we would have had these last two years together, how much your nephews would love you, and the wild antics you would be up to. There is not a day that goes by that I don't reach for my phone and want to dial your number. Sometimes I do dial with the silly notion that just maybe you would be there to answer. I constantly regret not calling you on that fateful evening. To have heard your voice one last time. I often think that maybe I could have said something to you that would have changed things. I wish I could have warned you. I guess God's plan is something different. I can't imagine what good can come from losing such a vibrant and loving person from this Earth but I must trust in His judgement. I pray that I can one day have half the heart and love that you had in you. Until we meet again brother. I love you with all my heart.

Miss you more than anything Michael. You are always on our mind. We have a huge picture collage of you in our room and Michael & EJ climb up on a chair to look at all your pics. Michael points you out in a pic and calls you "Mike" ..it's so incredibly sweet. We love you forever & ever.

My Dearest Brother,
It's been more than a year since you were taken from us. I still can't come to grips with the fact that my baby brother is gone from this world. You are missed beyond belief and I still find myself dialing your number to talk regularly. I only wish you were there to answer. Our frequent conversations about absolutely nothing and our constant joking are memories that are indelibly engraved in my mind. The memories are a source of joy that will live in my mind as long as I do. My children will be told of how they have an uncle who touched so many hearts. I pray that you and Mom are looking down on us with big smiles. I love and miss you both so much. Tell Mom I love and miss her.

There hasn't been one day that has gone by that I haven't thought of you. I know this may sound crazy but I've started to watch a show on tv called Long Island Medium. It's about a lady who talks to spirits. At first I didn't really understand how it could be possible but it really is amazing how true it is. Every time I watch the show I think of you and if I would ever run into her what she would say to me. She only tells people postitive things. I would wish to have you relay a message to her and let me know that your okay. Just to hear one more joke would really make me happy. Last week I went to church with hecty & Gigi for your moms birthday. It was a beautiful mass, but you already know that. I know you were there. Please give her a big birthday hug for me! I still of course, go see Gigi as much as I can, she really misses you mike. I try to be strong for her and remind her that I will always be by her side. We all know that you are in a happy place but its hard from our side. Send me signs whenever you can to let me know your watching over me, I've had quite a bit already. Thank you for that. I miss you, forever and ever you have a huge part of my heart.

6 months today....how can this be....praying for peace for Eric as he's having such a hard time accepting you being gone. it's a daily struggle for him. I know you both spoke every day on the phone & You both shared an amazing bond. He was very proud of you. He now has a hole in his heart & aches everyday! I miss your silly texts and read them all the time. I still have your number in my phone. Everytime i text pics of the kids to the family your name always pops up & I sit there & just stare at it wishing I could send you a picture. EJ misses his tio. So many great memories with you Michael, I will never forget them. We love you more than you know Michael. ?? give your amazing mother a big hug from me! I know you are having a huge celebration for her birthday today. I love you both so much! So very blessed to have had you both in my life.

Trying to find the right words to say but I am finding it quite difficult and nearly impossible. I guess what I'm pretty much trying to relay is that I miss you so much. Your smile, your energy, your innate sense of loving others, and your brattyness. I miss spendning weekends with you and Britt. We had the best times and created the best memories. Memories I will never forget... I would give anything to erase the month of March and have you here with us. I miss you... everyone does!
Great Uncle!!

Hey Mikey. I've been thinking of you a lot these past few days. I miss you so much. The hole in my heart just doesn't want to heal. My thoughts are constantly racing, thinking of what I could have done to make things different. I think about what it would be like if you were still here with us. How proud you would be of your new nephew. He is beautiful. It pains me to think that he will never get to meet you. I also think about what a great person you were to me, Kelly, and EJ. My heart aches so bad when I remember your face; that huge smile that just lit up the room. You were my little baby brother. You were my partner in crime. You were my best friend. I have shed enough tears to fill an ocean and yet the pain does not subside. They say that time heals all wounds but I'm finding that hard to believe. I pray that God gives me the strength to overcome this agony. I will forever love you and be looking forward to the day we meet again.

Dear Michael,
Tomorrow is my 22nd birthday and I still can't believe your gone. You always made birthdays feel like Christmas. The memories I have shared with you are unforgettable and I remind my self every single day how lucky I am to have spent so much time with you. I promise to be happy tomorrow because I know that's what you would want. I miss you more than words can say. I love you my angel. If you can show me a sign tomorrow and let me know you are here with me in spirit, my birthday wish will come true. I love you always and forever.

Not 1 hour goes by that I don't think of you. You're the first thing that pops in my head in the morning and the last before I go to sleep! All I do is listen to songs that remind me of you! I can't accept what has happened to you, it just doesn't sink in my head. I still feel like you're just playing a prank on everyone and that I'm going to get a call from you... I love you Michael Ray! You really changed my life from one day to the next! I will see you when it's my time, and I can't wait till I reunite with you.

Hey there Michael, Britt is with us for a couple more days we all miss your presence! Joseph asked about you tonight wondering if he will see you again and if you will remember him when he gets to heaven. Hard to have these conversations with a 6 year old! We got a horse named Santana in your honor for night at the races at a church we support, don't let me down we will be looking for a win!! Love you Michael !!

Well 2 months have passed and I still have an uneasy feeling a lump in my throat and it is hard to swallow! I feel guilty that maybe their was something more I should have said or done to let you know how special you were! My heart is broken for Brittany I read her messages to you and know that she feels a deep loss that can't be replaced! I constantly am praying for your family and friends that every day gets easier but I've got a feeling it's not!! Missing you! --britts mom

Just two months ago today I was probably the happiest girl in the world. It's crazy how your whole life can change in the matter of seconds. I miss you like crazy Mike. I am not the same, no one is. Every day is a struggle. Every day is a wave of emotions. Sometimes I am okay and sometimes I feel like I am going to crash. I know I have to stay for you and Gigi, nothing has ever been so important to me. I've come to see you at the cemetary a few times. Every time there has been yellow butterflies to remind me that you and mommie are there. I am leaving to Philly Friday I wish you were coming with me. I know Nicolena & Joseph will be asking for you. Every time my mom brings up that they ask about you my heart breaks all over again. I love you Michael forever & always.
