Death is not just for the old, sometimes the young die too. You were only in your twenties
when angels came for you. It's very hard to understand why you died so young.
You had so much to live for and was loved by everyone. But we know God has a purpose and a plan for each of us. We know he loves His children, and in Him we put all trust.

Although our hearts are broken, we know you're in His care. I find confront knowing you are with both of your Grandfathers, Uncle David and Trey. Your memory will remain alive until we join you there.
Love you forever, Aunt Helen

Mommy loves you!

Mike you will truly be missed. Going to miss working with such a hard worker who was so gunghoe to get the job done. Joking around in the morning. God must have lots of work to be done that is why he needed you. Will miss you!

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.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
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.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
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.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Michael, if you wanted me to come home from London, then you could have just said. Well, I'm here now Michael, where are you? You would be so proud of our parents and how they are working and crying together for their son. Once when we were younger, I asked you to let me drive your car and you said,"the day you are older than me".Looks like that day is going to come. We have been 5 years apart all of my 24 years of life and now to know that we are not aging together, how do I rationalize it?

Michael,

I am sad that you had to go. But I know God needed you. He has a plan that is why he called you home. I know you are lighting up Heaven and we will see you again.
