Hi Brother,
I just had to google myself for something only to come across a picture of us. It made my day to see your beautiful face. What an honor it is to have you watching over me. However, I really wish you were physically present. I am always frustrated with the idea of what our relationship would be as adults. So proud to carry your legacy to this day and so proud to be your little sister forever and always. Love you so so much Michael!

Zone, Today I was driving and Cant Stop, Wont Stop came on and it hit me like a ton of bricks. I had to pull over and as I was starting to get upset, it was like you intervened and would not let me. I started to smile and I know it was you stepping in. I started thinking about you doing your 2 step to the beat. I love you always

July 19th will mark 8 years since the loss of my brother. People say it gets easier with time, but I don't honestly believe that. This has not gotten a bit easier. I can still hear his voice, I can still see his smile, I can even still smell him at times. I still cry every time one of his songs comes on the radio or every time I sit and have a couple minutes to think.
These past eight years of my life have taught me so much. They taught me about life, they taught me about love, and they have taught me most of all to be thankful. Losing my brother was an awful way to learn these lessons but I guess it's the ways of life. Michael, until we look in each others eyes again-there will always be a tear in mine. I Love You So Much

Zone I know you were with me tonight I felt your presence and had the chills. I'm slowly finding peace of mind and real happiness again. Death's the only guarantee in this life so I'm no longer shocked when I hear someone else has passed which seems to happen every couple weeks now. I'm really happy we got to spend the time together that we did, and honored that God let me play a role in your life..it was an amazing story. Love ya my boy.

My big brother, today marks seven years since you left this earth. Our hearts ache every day for you. No matter how much time goes by I will never stop missing and loving you. I hope you are okay, and I hope you can hear me every time I pray to you. You were the best big brother anyone could ever hope for. If I known that would have been your last day here I would have squeezed you and never let you leave my side. I love you today, yesterday, and ALWAYS <3

But he won't be cheated of your memory . I know you will be here in spirit for him , to guide and protect him. Please visit him we he is born. I miss you Michael. I love you.......Uncle John

February 24, 2009
Zone,
So much pain in my heart when I think of that day, We were so close, yet so far away.
I block my emotions, the agony stands as a wall, Like a drop in the ocean, I can't feel them at all.
Well at least I couldn't, but I can once again, For I have found the Lord, I thank you my friend.
For laying your life down before each of us, to show us the way, Mike, to teach us to love.
Cause that's what you did, you loved and lived.
So beautiful, filled with so much light, you made all our days, and you brightened our nights.
I'll carry you with me til my dying day, when you'll come to meet me and we'll both fly away.
Thinkin of ya now and always, Love Ya Buddy

mike,
i havent written to you in a while, but not a day goes by that i dont think of you. Its been over 3 years since youve been gone, and i can still see and hear you clear as day in my head, like i was just with you yesterday. I miss you more than words can describe, and i know that alot of others feel the same. You were a great friend, brother, son, cousin , nephew, and so much more. I will never forget the times we have spent together, and i know that i will see you again. I love you mike, and i miss you so much.
December 12, 2008
Sorry, I did not get a chance to visit you yesterday. It is not that I don't want to, but I feel like I have to prepare myself every time I go, or else I will not be able to handle it. Miss you more than words can ever say. I think about you constantly and want you to know that you're still my entire world. I love you angel! Hope you had the best birthday ever!
December 11, 2008
Dear Michael -
You touched everyone's lives;
everyone you knew
And there will never be
anybody quite like you.
You were much too young to go, Michael; a mere nineteen
It just wasn't long enough
to have you in our lives.
We love you and we miss you,
but even though your earthly life has dimmed we take comfort in knowing that God is holding you close to Him.
When the wind is blowing, gently upon our face We will remember, always, your soft but strong embrace.
When we look upon a sunrise,
we'll know that you are there
It will help us through the days
when the pain is too much to bear.
We miss your friendly, warm blue eyes and welcoming bright smile
We miss your easy going nature
and always laid back style.
We miss everything about you, Michael, all the days we are apart
But what wel miss most of all
is the way you hugged us with your heart.
Happy Birthday!
December 11, 2008

We love you Michael , and your memory will live on forever, you will NEVER be forgotten.

Michael, please come home! I miss you soo much and this time of year makes me so upset. I keep having dreams of you, and when I wake up, I'm even more upset, because I realized I was that much closer to you, and were taken away from me again. I need you..*Your Sista*
July 9, 2008
ill never forget, and I'll always miss you ,but we'll meet again, this just has to be true, with a bond as strong as we had, not even death can keep us apart
July 9, 2008
As the third anniversary of your passing approaches, I still remain wordless about your death. I still don't and will NEVER comprehend such a deplorable tragedy to such an *AMAZING* soul. Your death has left me with so many questions that will remain unanswered until we meet again. Why you, why so young? I have no answer, no one has that answer but God. An appalling thought everytime I think of it. You were my rock, my protector, now I'm left unprotected. Everyone misses you so much! when you walked into the room your presence alone lit up the place, your gorgeous eyes, and illuminating smile still cross my mind every single day. I know you're ok. I know you're with me. I wish more than anything you'd still be here to share everything with us..I MISS YOU..I LOVE YOU..KEEP ME SAFE*<3Y.S*

February 15, 2008
For some reason they do not post any of my entries, and it really is annoying. I sit there forever and write to you and it don't post. Well, at least you hear me. I just wanted to wish you a Happy Valentine's Day! And hope you're ok. I wanted to tell you how much I miss you, and how much I love you. I think of you every second of the day, and pray that you're safe. Everytime I go to the mall I really, really want to visit you, but you dont understand, sometimes it's so hard. It hurts me so bad to sit there and see YOUR name on there. I hate seeing your name on the wall because it kind of snaps me back into reality, that you're really gone. I can't bare it. And especially if I go myself, I snap and can't handle it. I wish so much you would just come home. I want you to walk back in the door, even if it is for one last time. I just want to see your face it kills me soo bad. I miss you so much, Michael! No pain can ever measure this!
February 6, 2008
What's up zone? It's been a while. I just wanted to let you know that I miss you more and more everyday. The anger is still with me, but as the time passes the sadness weighs down my heart and makes that anger become pointless. I still cant believe your gone. I cant believe we lost you like we did. I sit here and wonder how things would be if you were still with us, but then reality sets in and I realize your not. I think reality is what hurts the most. I have a few things that I want to tell you before I go. I just wanted to let you know that you were more than a good friend and good friends are hard to find. I wanted to let you know that I appreciated you. I am thankful that I was a part of your life and that you were a part of mine. You had different relationships with everyone and our friendship was really one of a kind. Things will never be the same without you. All I could do now is ask that you stay with me forever by keeping my memories vivid and helping me remember our good times. In return I promise you I'll never forget.

Letter to Mom
Mom, please don’t feel guilty
It was just my time to go.
I see you are still feeling sad,
And the tears just seem to flow.
We all come to earth for our lifetime,
And for some it’s not many years
I don’t want you to keep crying
You are shedding so many tears.
I haven’t really left you
Even though it may seem so.
I have just gone to my heavenly home,
And I’m closer to you than you know.
Just believe that when you say my name
I’m standing next to you,
I know you long to see me,
But there’s nothing I can do.
But I’ll still send you messages
And hope you understand,
That when your time comes to “cross over,”
I’ll be there to take your hand.
A Friend (South Philly, PA)
January 23, 2008
We do not need a special day
to bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you
are very hard to find.
If we had all the world to give
We'd give it all and more
To hear your voice,
And see your smile,
And have you here once more.
For time can't heal the sorrow;
nor help us to forget
How much it hurt to lose you
And how we miss you yet.
Piccolo
January 9, 2008
Mike,
the holidays just passed and things just arent the same. i can only imagine how your family feels, because my holidays are empty without you here. we all used to be so close, and we all always spent every holiday together. i still remember your 17th birthday at crazy richies house, hah it seems like it was just yesterday. i can still hear your voice as clear as day, making those crazy voices. i can still see you shrugging your shoulders when we caught you in a lie, like when you told us that story about the cat that knocked on your door. everything has changed since you left us. our friends are all going their own way. nothing is the same anymore. i know that you are always with us, and i know that you truely do answer my prayers. you are my guardian angel and i know you will protect us all until we meet again. i miss you more than words could ever describe, and the only thing that keeps me going is the fact that i know i will see you again. until that day, i love you mike, and you were the best friend i could have ever hoped for.

Death is nothing at all
I have only slipped away into the next room
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other
That we are still
Call me by my old familiar name
Speak to me in the easy way you always used
Put no difference into your tone
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed
At the little jokes we always enjoyed together
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was
Let it be spoken without effort
Without the ghost of a shadow in it
Life means all that it ever meant
It is the same as it ever was
There is absolute unbroken continuity
What is death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind
Because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you for an interval
Somewhere very near
Just around the corner
All is well.
Nothing is past; nothing is lost
One brief moment and all will be as it was before
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!

I still think about you everyday and miss you so much its crazy..i feel like im stuck in that time period still..i think i just liked who i was when i was wit you and you were one of the only real people i know and after you left just about everyone changed, i guess for the better in their eyes but to me i miss the closeness and the love we all had..not just wit eachother but life in general, we were us, now everyones conformin, i dont like it. I just want one of them nights where it was us just roamin the streets witout a care in the world, thats what lifes really all about, that freedom, not worried about anything cause we had eachother. I guess most people will realize when its too late that everything we're lookin for is right here right now, you knew that when you were here in the physical and you know it now in spirit. I'm gona live everyday as though i've already passed on and am with you in the spiritual. One life to live I'm gona make it a dream for you zone, I love you

Michael, It's three in the morning and I can't sleep so I decided to write to you. It's your birthday today and it's crazy to think that you're 22. I remember when you were 17 and I was 13 and it feels like yesterday. I can't believe Savannah is gonna be 13 soon. I was thinking about that the other day and I thought of something funny, she must have been about 8 at the time and remember she said to me "aren't you a little young for my brother!" haha I actually told my mom that the other day and we were laughing about it! But anyway, I wanted to wish you a happy birthday. It's weird having a friend that has the same birthday as you because as I'm celebrating their birthday with them and wishing them a happy birthday, all I can think about is you and how you should be here with your family and friends celebrating. It's so unfair, this life is crazy and I just don't understand it, not one bit. It gets me so angry and upset to think about it. I miss you so much Michael, you have no idea. I wish you were here so I could talk to you about all these things that are going on in my life. I know I can still talk to you, I always do but it's just not the same. I want to hear your voice and you telling me everything is gonna be alright "kid", dont worry. But I guess I'm being selfish because God needed you to be with Him in Heaven more. And that's because you really were an angel on earth and one of the strongest people I know. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you or think about all the memories. Everyday there's always something that reminds me of you, whether its a song or something somebody says or does. I'm always talking about you and telling stories. I'm so proud to say that I knew you and was close to you in the way that I was but nothing has ever changed because I always felt that way about you and I want you to know that. Well I'm gonna try to get some sleep, I'm coming to visit you tomorrow so i'll talk to you more then. Happy Birthday Michael! I Love You.

Michael, as ur 22nd birthday approaches, it will mark the third birthday of yours that you've celebrated in heaven, without us. this time of year is such a hard time to get through because of all the holidays without you, and your birthday. i feel somewhat redundant in saying the same thing every year, but each year that passes, is just that much harder. it's absolutely crazy how this pain did not subside one bit. everyday feels like the night of july 19th, no day has gotten easier. i think about you every second of the day, and dream of you often. sometimes the dreams help, but then i feel that much closer to you, and there you are gone again. its almost like a tease. you were the best brother/son/grandson/nephew/cousin/friend anyone can ever hope for. you truly did anything, for anyone at any given time. i miss you so much, more then any words can describe. i know you're at peace, and thats the only thing that gives me hope when i think about you. i know you'll be there december 7th you would have given nothin more to be there, but ull be there in spirit. i love you, michael.

And if I go,
while you're still here...
Know that I still live on,
Vibrating on a different measure,
Behind a thin veil you cannot see through.
You will not see me,
So you must have faith.
I wait the time when we can soar together again,
Both aware of each other.
Until then, live your life to the fullest,
And when you need me.
Just whisper my name in your heart,
.....i will be there
