Miss you Mikey! I still can't believe you're not here...it just feels like you've gone away for a long time and that this isn't real. I hope you are feeling better now, wherever you are.

Oh Michael how we miss you so. You are never far from our thoughts. It is amazing what a year has brought. One life leaves us and another one enters. Your cousin Grant Joseph was born Aug 25th. We thank God every day for him because we realize how precious a life really is. I hope Grant is like you in many ways...I know you are up in heaven with Grandaddy having a ball. We'll see you soon my friend. With all our hearts, Amy, Jamie and Grant

Dear Michael,
I miss you and think of you, at special times. Thoughts of you visit me, unexpectedly, and, I am blessed by the experience. It has been over six months since you went to heaven, and I imagine you are happy there, enjoying the presence of God, and meeting your fellow saints. I know you must be busy, pursuing the plans God has for you, in the heavenly kingdom. You are free from the pain of an illnes, that you never asked for. Together, you and your family carried the cross of this illness. There were times when the cross was very heavy, and there were times when the cross was light. This cross taught so many lessons about pain, love, hope, friendship, faith, family, sufferring, truth, dedication, sorrow, etc. This cross helped many of us to grow, in very deep ways. This cross forged an eternal bond between you, Victoria, and your parents. You and your family carried the cross well. Michael, I miss your kind nature, your smile, laughs, and smart mind. You have gone to the place of no more pain and sorrow, where God wipes away every tear. You are and always will be, a delight to all!! Love, Aunt MK

Dearest Becky,
My name is Chris and we met at Glenwood this afternoon. Thank you for the hug, it meant so much to me. I am so very sorry for your loss, for your husband and daughters loss as well. I wanted to know more about your sweet son so I did some research. He hung out in the same places as my Katie, who is 17. Agora, Brazil's, etc.,. I read so many wonderful things about him. He loved poetry and music and was said by all to be an inspirational, funny, young man.
I'm sorry we met under such sad circumstances but I am glad we met. Oh by the way, I called Richard's mom as I was driving home. Richard is above Michael. It always warms her heart to know someone has visited him. She lives in El Paso. I will be back on the 21st of March. Dylan, also above Michael, passed away on this day.
Michael is in fine company upon that beautiful hill. I think Glenwood is one of the most beautiful, peaceful and serene places on Earth.
Take Care & God Bless,
Chris Bicek

My sweet Patrick, Becky and Victoria - It has taken awhile for me to look at his obit page so I apologize for the late entry. We will all miss him so much...a loss that seems too much to bear. But he was so blessed to grow up in such a loving, close family.Something that is rare these days.I was just really getting to know Michael as an adult as we are 18 yrs apart. What a fine young man he was becoming to be. Handsome, genuine, funny, interesting...I truly enjoyed our talks about life, music, skydiving, etc. I am so proud of him and he will inspire me to go on and be a better person. Grandaddy and Michael are having a ball right now in heaven...just waiting on the rest of us. All my love, Amy

Skydiving, a gentleman, and loving life as it is, is the imprint left on my heart forever.
I met Mikey through my daughter Kasey. They, being such free spirits, enjoyed each other's sense of humor and indept conversations about life.
We had the joy of taking Mikey to my parent's farm where he fed a new calf. His slight smile and sparkling eyes that day will be cherished . Thank you for raising such an awesome young man who will be in many hearts forever.
Mikey, Enjoy your new life and the unlimited days of Skydiving!!!
Sincerely,
Michael at Aunt Amy's wedding, Jan 2004

To Michael's dear Family,
We are friends through Jamie and Amy. We are so grieved for your loss. We cannot imagine your pain and sorrow at the loss of Michael. We wish we had had the opportunity to know him on this earth. Along with the throng of others represented here, we are fervently lifting each of you up to the Lord in prayer, asking for the comfort and peace that only He can provide. We pray that you would know the tender touch of His loving arms wrapped around you in your hardest hour. We love you though we have not met you, friends.
In Christ,

I didn't know Michael, but I have known Patrick's family since my early childhood. Danny was my friend from first grade, and later I got to know his brother, Mike. All through my school years I liked and respected the Grant family. I'm so saddened to have read of their unimaginable loss. Mikey's family is in my prayers. I grieve for their tragedy.

Dear Becky, Victoria, and Patrick,
What a thing, to lose Mikey. We are still all getting used to the idea. We hardly knew him, I admit---Rosie and he were together on an almost daily basis for the last three months, and we know that she loved him. What we understood about Mikey, those surface impressions that parents and siblings gather about a child's friends, was that he was a sweet kind bright boy, that he loved music and poetry and Tom Waits and Bob Dylan (we shared our affection for the great singer-songwriters), that he was unfailingly polite and intelligent, that he seemed not to have mean bone in his body, that was a quiet rebel (our favorite kind), and that his invariable smile and kind words as he waved from that dark blue Mini Cooper and he and Rose drove off into the day endeared him to us. We all liked Mikey so much---we loved him; we were so delighted that he and Rose were dating. The more we get to know about him now, from Rose, who is crazy with loss, the greater our sorrow. We understand and sympathize with the nature of his struggles, and only wish we could have done something to help him. We can only imagine the pain you all must be feeling. We are so sorry. Please know that our hearts are with you and that we love you all. We'll be in touch. Please take care.
Much love,
The O'Levys (Rich, Katie, Rose, of course, Tom and Laura)
I love you.

I love you so much and will miss you always.
Its weird not going to be able to hang out with you every day.

I just hope you are in a better place.
I love you.

Mikey was an incredible person. We are all deeply saddened by this loss. We were all really lucky to have him in our lives. He was a loyal friend and I'll never forget his great sense of humor, talent, and compassion. I'll always remember the good times we had with him. I'll never forget how he used to teach his cat, Jasmine that cool trick. And how he used to come over after meetings and hang out. And the time he tried to peirce my ear with a pin. My heart goes out to his family. He loved you all so much. I'm so deeply sorry for your loss.

Mikey.
Remember those gummi bears with the perfect texture? Daniel Johnston? Skydiving and the roses you bought me afterwards? The midnight whataburger taquitos? You've touched so many lives. You were, and will always be a beautifully brilliant person. I hope you no longer have to struggle against your demons. I've been praying for your family ever since, and I hope it will give them some strength to accept your loss. I love you.

Hi. We have never met. I did not know Michael. But as I was getting off from work this morning and walking to my car, I had to walk past the Palmer Church, where apparently Michael's service had just ended and hoards of mourners stood outside. I was struck by the very palpable energy I felt as I weaved through the crowd. It was strong and so lovely and sad and I knew, somehow quite certainly, that the world lost a very, very special person. May you find comfort and may the light, for the revelation of the star of destiny, which stood over his earthly birth shine forever in our hearts.

I only met Michael a few times and did not know him well but my daughter knew him and participated in various organizations with him over the past few years. He reached out to her several times when she was struggling and made a difference in her life and, as a result, in our lives as a family. Michael was a caring, giving young man. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,

Dearest Becky, Patrick and Victoria,
If God would only give us the words of the poet, we would give them to you. Our beloved poet Michael was a blessing to us all, each and everyday of his life.
Michael belonged to us, and he will continue there in our hearts. He touched us in ways that the ending of his days will not erase. We will continue to find occasions to give thanks for the sharing of his life.
We will always remember the togetherness Michael shared with his parents and sister. We will remember the love and hugs he gave to us. We will carry Michael's heart in our hearts.
We will always remember your unwavering support.
May God give you sufficient comfort, and may He bless you with the peace that the world cannot give and cannot take away.
Dear sweet Michael Alden, old friend, you were the best.
Love,
Michael, Peggy, Danny, Kelly and Mallon
