hey gruff, it was your birthday the other day. i wish i could say happy birthday in person but god had other plans for you. i will never forget that last day i saw you. you were such a great cousin, and just person in general. you put a smile on everybody’s faces for sure. we all wish you were here. i just hope you’re at peace in heaven waiting for the rest of us. if you can, show me a sign that you’re with me sometime. it may scare me at first but let me know you’re here. you’re such a great guy and although i was young, i still have so many memories with you. i’m not sure why, maybe it was because of your birthday but i really wanted to see your face. i wanted to go online and see if you have any social media or pictures of something just to see you. i really pray that you are happy and in a better place. i miss you and i love you very much. thank you for the memories and just being the person you were. keep flying high my love❤ love, emmy gallagher

My dearest Mike life is so sad without you here. The pain stings to this day and always will. You are so missed and that doesn’t even touch the feelings I have. You are a star in the sky an angel with wings and I cannot wait to see you again. My heart aches forever and longs to be with you. My tears still fall down my cheek when I think of you which has been every single day since you left. There’s no getting over this there’s just surviving it. I’ll never be the same. I’ll always remember my birthday dinner 26 days before your departure. It brings me happiness to think of it but also sadness as I wanted more time with you. I will see you on the other side my love and always you are on my mind. Love you forever and always. Until we see each other again and hug and hold each other my soul will not be at peace. Love you always mommy.

January 6, 2020

I'm in school, and for some reason I really got the urge to look you up and ended up finding this page. I miss you so much. I still think about you all of the time. You will never be forgotten. It's 2020! It's been 10 whole, long years since your passing. I wish more than anything you were still here. Love you always, Chavonne (Boo).

September 28, 2017

Love mom

July 19, 2015

Dear Mike You know it's Mom. I cannot tell you you how much the messages mean to me. I know you are here with us. I have been listening to Linkin Park and can hear what you are saying. I love and miss you more every day, I am sure you already know that. It so hard here without you but you are just a breath away from me. I close my eyes and there you are in all your glory. I still hear you singing Van Halen and I still laugh at so many of the funny things you did and said but not quite as much cause I truly wanted more time with you. You were always special and we both knew it. I am so proud and honored I got chosen to be your Mom I just wish it didn't hurt so bad. There is no escaping the pain that is a given but you brought so much joy. I always love you and miss you every day I am here and look forward to when we are together again cause I know we will be. Love you forever - Hugs and Kisses Mom

April 13, 2015

Dear Mike,

I am missing you so dearly I know that you know that. It is hard to hold back the tears. Today is just one of those days I am having a hard time. I guess maybe with the weather finally getting nice out I will always think of you being at the shore. Having fun in the sun and swimming and at this point how nice it would have been to have grandchildren of yours and how much of a wonderful dad you would have been. There will never be words that I could use to let anyone know just how I feel. It is very lonely here on earth without your precious smile and your joyful laughter. I will miss you forever. There is just nothing that will ever fill the huge void in my heart and soul that I have. I will always love and miss you and until I see you again that will never stop. I will never stop loving you and as long as I am living and breathing on this earth I will never stop missing you and longing to be with you and close to you. I just wish so hard that there was more that I could have done for you. You will always be my baby boy and have such wonderful memories of you. I truly wanted more than memories I want you here but this is how it is and I cannot change this. I would in a moment if I only could. I love and miss you dearly. All My Love Forever and Ever, Mom

August 22, 2014

Dear Mike, How much I miss and think of you every day. Bill too. I know that you are right at Bill's side with God and with all your powers and God's powers will heal him. I have been praying and Just wish so much you were here with us. Life could never be the same without you and never will be. I carry you with me all the time but it's not the same. In my eyes this is not how it should be but God saw differently and I know you are in a beautiful place and when we meet again I am running to you to hold you and hug you. You were and always will be my baby. I love you just as much if not more as time goes by and am not fearful of death for I know you will be waiting for me. Waiting for Fran's new baby and I know you know he is doing well. I cannot help but feel so very alone without you here. I will always love you. Love Forever and Ever - and Bill will always love you forever and ever. All Our Love Mom and Bill

July 2, 2014

I miss you so much words could never even touch how I feel and how much I miss you. Not a day goes by without my thinking of you and missing you. My tears continue to fall and will continue to do so until I am with you once again. I love you so dearly - it is so hard to be here without you. If you only knew which I am sure you do how I long to just one more moment with you. To take you to safety so you would still be here. I love you always and forever. Mom

December 17, 2013

I think of you all the time and it gets no easier. I just miss you more. It is another holiday without you and I just think of all the good times we all had together and wish that it could have lasted much longer than it did. There was not enough time on this earth with you. Such a loving beautiful young man and I am so proud of you being my son. I was honored to be your mother and if I could would change how things are. I will see you again and we will be together forever. The holidays are hard without you here and they do not get easier with time. Missing you forever with all my love Mom

August 13, 2013

I am still missing you as much as before, actually more. As time passes wounds do not heal they just are there. I miss you so much and wish you were here. Life is just not the same without you, it is quite sad and I miss you so. I will never stop thinking of you, you are always on my mind. I love you more then you will ever know. All My Love Mom

May 21, 2013

I am always thinking of you every moment of the day. Wishing so badly things were different than they are. But I know you are safe and watching over all of us especially Brighten. She would love you so very much and I know that daddy will have plenty of funny stories about you and him. I cannot help but think of the story Kaitlyn told of you playing charades at the shore and you were a blowfish!!! I can see you doing that and it must have been hysterical. I miss you so much that there are no words I could ever say to let you know just how much but I think you already know. All My Love Forever Mommy

Brittin Parson

April 28, 2013

Hey Mike,
It's Brit. I just wanted to let you know that Fran and I were talking about our best time outside and we both agreed that the day you and Kaitlyn came over for the BBQ with the kids at our old apartment having fun and laughing was great. That was a good day! We miss you soooo much. I wish you were here to share in the joy of having Bright around. I know she is missing out on having a fantastic Uncle but we will talk about you often. She will know about her Daddy's best friend and how you made us laugh. We love you always and forever. Brit

All My Love My Sweet Son, I will forever miss your smile, laugh,humor, singing,even your scent. Missing you with all my heart. But we will meet again I am sure of it. I couldn't love you more from the moment you were born there was just something special between me and you. Love Forever Mom

March 28, 2013

My dear sweet son it is another holiday here without you. Happy Easter to you and to the whole world for Christ is risen. I cannot bear some days without you here as a matter of fact I cannot bear any day without you here and that will never leave me. All I want is to have you back home with me but it is you that is waiting for me to come home. When I am called I know your loving arms will be wrapped around me and we will be together forever again. I had a dream of you and it was as if we were never parted. It was a wonderful dream. I have completed everything that needed to be done on this earth and I am very sad about it but I hope that you are pleased. You meant and still do mean everything to me and it will never get better on this earth for me. This pain will never go away and I will always suffer for and feel sentenced to life without you here but I know you are always right beside me and that I always carry you in my heart but the sadness will never go away without you. You were so very special to me and always will be and every day I just want you to come home to me but now it is you waiting for me to come home to you and I am ready at any time to do that. I will love you forever and ever and nothing will ever change that. Love you with all my heart and soul forever. All My Love Forever Mommy

February 8, 2013

Happy Birthday although it would be much happier if you were here. But the day you were born was a beautiful celebratory day. It was the ultimate and I remember crying when you came out because I was so happy. I love you forever and ever and will miss you forever and ever but when we are together again it will be a joyous occasion I am sure. I love you dearly and Happy Birthday to you my son. Love Always Mom

February 5, 2013

July 4, 2012

March 20, 2012

Well it is the first day of spring and we still are missing you as much as we did - it doesn't go away. You will be forever missed as long as I am here on earth and you are forever loved. I think of you all the time and think of you singing or playing Xbox with your brother and it makes me smile and laugh but only for a moment and then I am sad. I am sad here without you and always will be but we will be together again and that brings me joy to think of that. Missing you and loving you forever. All My Love

Dear Mike, Happy Birthday to you. I know that you are safe in God's arms and that it is us that have been left here that cry for you. You were the most special person I have ever met and probably will ever meet. Always so special to me. So Happy Birthday my love and we will be together again and I look forward to that moment. I will love you forever. Love Always Mom

January 30, 2012

Dear Mike I think of you constantly and miss you so dearly that no one will ever know just how sad I am and will forever be without you here with me. I just wanted you to know that you are and will always be the most special person to me. You made me laugh and you made me proud to be your Mom. I love you with all of my heart. Love Always Mom

January 17, 2012

Dear Mike, Here we are in January and still feeling so sad without you. Things are never going to be the same or right for that fact. I miss you so dearly and wish so much you were here. I would give anything to have you back again but I carry you in my heart always and think of you every day and carry your pictures with me. I miss you terrible and cannot wait to see you again. Love You Always Mom

December 30, 2011

Dear Mike, It has been way too long since I have been able to touch and hug you and I miss you so very much. I think of you all the time and wish I had gotten more time to spend with you. A new year is almost here and it really doesn't matter without you here. I love you so very much and so look forward to being with you and laughing with you and seeing your beautiful blue eyes. You will always be my baby that I will forever miss and my heart will forever cry without you here with me. I love you forever and I know that you were needed by God more than by me. But my life will never be the same without you here with me. Love Always and Forever Mom

December 24, 2011

Dear Mike how much do I love you or how much do I miss you? There are no words that could compare with the loss I feel for you. I love you so very much and miss you even more. You were and are my sunshine everyday. A picture of you I look at every morning makes me just think of sunshine which is what you were and still will always be to me - my sunshine. I love you dearly and miss you on this Christmas Eve - my Santa Claus - I will be with you again and I love you with all my heart. Merry Christmas my son and may you be at peace with God. Love Forever Your Mom

December 15, 2011

I miss you so very much that nothing will ever be the same. The holidays are not the same without your smiling face to share them with. I know you are with me everyday and I cannot wait to be with you again. I just thank you so much for everything you were to me and still are and for just being my son. It just wasn't enough time for me to spend with you although forever wouldn't have been long enough either. I miss and love you forever. Love Mom

November 12, 2011

Hello my love - thank you for everything. I owe you a lot but first of all for being my son. Next for being the beautiful person you were and for lighting up my life the way you did. You were and always are somebody very special to me and I miss you all the time. I am thankful for all the wonderful times we had together and for nothing more than you just being you. I will miss and love you forever. My heart is forever changed since you have departed but I know you will be standing there waiting for me and I can hear you say - You are gonna love it here - wait until you see this place. That would be something you would text to me. I love you always and forever. Love Mom

October 25, 2011

My sweetie that I will forever miss, I think of you constantly and life will never be the same. I miss you so very much and will every day for the rest of my life. I know you are always with me. I would much rather you be here because you were such a joy in my life and I am so thankful that you were in my life. There are no words to express how thankful I am that you were my boy. Miss you always and love you forever and ever. We will be together again. Love You Mom

I miss you so much there are no words to explain how I feel. The sadness is overwhelming and I am having a difficult time without you here but know there are so many that love and miss you so dearly but we know you are in a happy place and are safe and with God on your side there can be nor wrongs ever done to you again. I miss you and love you so dearly. All my love Mom

September 30, 2011

Mike, I can't believe it's been a year since you were taken from us. I miss you so much, and think about you all the time. I know your watching over me, even though it's not even close to having you here. You are truly one of a kind. I love you and miss you always.

September 29, 2011

To my dear Mike I miss you so very much and I know you are with me every day and right beside me and in my heart but I cannot help but miss you every moment of every day. There will never be someone so full of life and and so full of joy and I am thankful I was as close to you as anyone in this world could be. Although I will forever be broken hearted and will never get over losing you way too soon I will love you forever and ever and I know that you will also love me forever and ever. Life is not easy here without you. There is a huge void that can never be replaced. You were one of a kind and I am thankful for all the wonderful memories and all the wonderful time we all had together I just wish there could have been more of them. But we will be together again one day and that is the day I am looking forward to. To be with you will complete me again as I have lost something so irreplaceable in this world. You - you are and will forever be irreplaceable and you are always in my heart and I will love you forever and forever. Love always and forever your Mom.

September 20, 2011

September is the worst month of the year and will be forever. I carry you in my heart every moment of every day and I miss you so very much. My wish is to see you again and I know it cannot be that way here but I know I will one day. The joy will be so great when I do see you again. I will miss you forever and love you forever. All my love to you my baby boy. May beauty, peace and love surround you forever and ever. I know my love will surround you forever. And I will miss you forever on this earth so until we are together again I love you.

Your Sister

September 14, 2011

We miss you everyday. We have a picture of you and Fran sitting together on a chair with bare feet. Man you two had some chunky toes. I see little pieces of you come out in Fran all the time and it makes me smile. We will always wish you were here but If you can't be here with us I hope you are with Mars and our little one.

September 9, 2011

August 18, 2011

You send me signs every day. I know it is you because no one knows "us" like you. I miss you everyday! I know you are looking over everyone during the difficult times and the happy ones! I love you!

August 18, 2011

That ladybug was in the hospital window in February when Mike was born and they are good luck. I was lucky enough to have such a wonderful person in my life for as long as I did even though forever wouldn't have been enough. Love and miss you forever but I carry you in my thoughts and in my heart every moment of every day. Love you so very much and miss you so very much.

August 16, 2011

Hi Mike,
I bought you a new angel today and a small Blessed Mother statue. I will be there on Thursday with my shovel to plant them on your resting place. I know you sit in that tree and laugh at me as I tend to you and decorate all while crying my eyes out. Before I leave I look up into the goalpost on that tree and you always make me laugh, I know you think you are even funnier then as you watch me cry and laugh and try to drive at the same time. You know I can't do that many things at once, always the wise guy!
I love you and miss you so much but you are in my heart every waking day and in my dreams at night, I know I'll see you on the other side.
Love,
Lin

August 15, 2011

Missing you down here so much... And I totally saw the ladybug in the kitchen yesterday

August 12, 2011

I am thinking of you and miss you. Look forward to being with you again. Love and miss you so very much.

August 3, 2011

Dear Mike, It seems like only yesterday when you were a little boy laughing and fighting with your brother. I miss you every moment of every single day and will for the rest of my life. Things will never feel right without you here and I miss you so much. Love you forever and ever. Love you Always

Mike,

Although time has passed, it still feels so surreal. Chavonne still asks about you, and I tell her you and Mars are her guardian angels now. I miss you every day, and think of you so often. Memories of you bring a smile to my face and always will. Until we meet again, love you and miss you forever!

July 15, 2011

Michael,
I love you forever,but you always knew that anyway. Time seems to be passing so quickly and at the same time standing still, it doesn't feel right here without you. I often think back to those days when you were the most adorable, angry little boy you were so cute and so intense at the same time. No one could throw a fit quite like you did.i miss those times. Then you grew into the most handsome man and the anger disappeared,you became one of the most genuinely kind person that I have had the pleasure to know,I will always be proud of you eternally,
sadly I will always miss you eternally.
Love U

July 14, 2011

I think of you everyday and miss you more as time goes by. I will always love you and always miss you. Love Forever

June 13, 2011

Thinking of you as always and missing you every moment of everyday. Love you forever and ever.

May 23, 2011

Thank you for the beautiful day Saturday.

May 17, 2011

Mike there is such a huge void in my life without you here. I just want you back. If I could have one wish that is what it would be - for you to come back home. The sadness that fills me to the core of my soul is so great that I can't think of anything that could hurt worse than this does. I think of you constantly and times we had together and how much we all miss you. There are not enough tears that I can cry to show you just how much I miss and love you. My thoughts are always with you and about you. I will see you on the other side. Love Always Mom

May 13, 2011

missing you

May 3, 2011

Well my dear I miss you terribly. I think of you all the time and thoughts of you bring a smile to my face. Even though my heart will cry forever my memories of you do bring me some joy. You were such a joy and such a lovable person and one of the most beautiful people that I have had the pleasure of having in my life. Although there was just not enough time here with you but then I think that forever still would not have been enough time with you so once again I am very thankful that I got the 27 years I did and I will always be thankful for that and even though I will long to be with you again forever I know in my heart that you are with me each and every day and that I will see you again and that will be a very joyous day for me. I miss you dearly and love you even more and always will. Love Mom

April 25, 2011

Sometimes I dream that I'm awake and find it's all a big mistake; that you are here, you're safe and well with smiles and hugs and tales to tell. And in my mind I hear you say I walk besides you everyday. -author unknown

April 22, 2011

Dear Mike, It is me your mom and I just wanted to say how very much I miss you each and every day. I wanted to wish you a very Happy Easter although it is not very happy without you here. But I know that you are right here with me and that you are always with me. I know that you are so very proud of Kaitlyn and her accomplishment this year which is just wonderful. I wish you were here physically to share all of our lives and to share your self with us all that loved and still love you so very much. Time will never heal this sorrow in my heart and there is nothing that could ever even come close to all the smiles and love and honestly just the joy that you brought to everyone that was lucky enough to meet you. You made their lives better just by knowing you - I know you made my life so much more special than it would have ever been had I not been lucky enough to be your mom. I know that your brother feels the same way and he misses you terribly. He thinks of you everyday just like I do and all the people that love you so very much. I will be whole again when I meet you in heaven and I look so forward to that day - you just don't know how much. I know that beautiful smile and those beautiful blue eyes will be waiting for me and I can just hear you say "Hey Mom, I have been waiting for you and wait until you see this place - you are going to love it!!!" You will always be my little baby boy and you are in my heart each and every day and I will carry you in my heart forever. Well until I see you again I love you my dear forever and ever. Love You Always and Forever Mom

I find myself thinking about you constantly, sometimes with purpose and other times without realization. Everything I do, I try to make sure you're there in some way. I cherish our memories, but I miss my best friend and our love more than anything! I hope I'm making you proud! I love you!

Dear Mike, it has been 6 months and they have been the most excruciatingly painful 6 months of my life. I miss you so very much and there are just no words that would ever encompass the way I feel. I think of you every second of every day and will for the rest of my life. You were so very special to me and still are so very special to me. You will always be in my heart and my thoughts and memories, and that is what keeps me going. The funny things you would do and say from a young child up until you were grown and then some bring a smile to my face and warm my heart. I know that I will see you again when it is my time and I look so forward to that moment. I was the lucky person who got to be your mom and I got to have you for 27 years and they were the best 27 years of my life and I am honored that I got the privilege of being your mom and your friend and someone special to you. The memories of you and your brother together bring me joy. The two of you were so funny together and you were inseperable and did everything together and that is something special. I can still see you singing Van Halen to Kaitlyn and it makes me laugh every time I think of it. I carry you in my heart and always will. I love you so very much and always will. Love Always Mom

Dear Mike, You are missed so much, I cannot bear it. You were a shining star on a dark night. You were so special and so loved. There is nothing in this world that will ever heal my aching heart. I think of you constantly and miss your smile and that silly laugh and honestly just everything about you is so missed there are no words to express how I feel. I miss you and love you so much. Love Mom

Hey Again, I know this will probably post right behind you're belated birthday wish, but I was cleaning and started cracking up when I thought of you... I was fixing the wires to the wii and it made me think of the time we were at big terges playing tennis, really into it, running jumping and breaking a hard sweat.. then mikey y came down and asked us why we were so sweaty as he claimed next winner, and I forget who he played against but sat on the sofa calmly swinging his hand back and forth while we just stared at eachother thinking of the sweat and how we killed ourselves trying to win... but we definately had more fun our way!! Miss you so much!

Hey Mikey, I wouldn't be a true Parson if I had this written on time... Happy Birthday!! Chavonne and I miss you so much!! I'm so sad that I couldn't text you and get a goofy thank you back. I think about you every day, and try to smile because I know you're in a better place. When I told Boo you would have turned 28, she told me you did turn 28 and just because you're not here with us doesn't mean you're not celebrating you're birthday. It made me smile to think of you celebrating with Mars writing "today is my last day of being 27" and eating a cake with her home made icing that we all loved so much. We love you and miss you, and I know you had a great birthday! You were an amazing person and have left an impact so great it can never be erased. Until we meet on the beach again! XOXO

Happy Birthday Baby! I wish you were here to celebrate but I know you are watching. I'm trying so hard to not cry all day but to embrace all the wonderful memories. You made so many lives and the world a better place. I hope you're celebrating in heaven! I picture you with Mars and so many other relaxing on the beach and laughing. You love the beach and it was your favorite place. We had some great times at Rob's walking on the board walk and going to the arcade like little kids. And going to the beach with Mars, Lil Terge, and Boo and playing in the sand and water. And all our times with Jaime in SB. Laying on the beach all day laughing then heading out at night...whoohoo...Haha! I miss you and love you...but you're a part of me and with me in everything I am and do. I will do all I can to make you proud! I love you- Scoob

Mike,
Today is especially a hard day, just knowing you aren't here to celebrate it. But, I know for sure we're all celebrating it for you.

I've seen you in my dreams recently. I'm not quite sure what they meant, but it was nice to see your face again. Sometimes I wonder when you see a lost loved one in a dream if it means they are visiting you. Who knows; but it's nice to think like that. I still can't believe you're gone. It doesn't seem real.

When we were little I used to think about how even though I was six months older than you, you still felt like the big brother I never had. You and Fran were a lot of fun back in the day. I'll never forget getting stuck in the back seat of the station wagon with you guys while coming home from hockey practice.

I regret not having known you later in life, but it sounds to me like you were still always that bright spirited person whose light never darkened.

You will never be forgotten.

Sending some birthday love to the heavens to you from your "little" cousin.

I know that you left our hearts empty
Just for the chance to fill our souls
That was the Mike I remember…
The one who wanted to take care of everyone before himself.
I miss you brotha! Happy Birthday!

I remember one of the first times I ever got to hang out with you. It was your birthday and we we were at the marple house and we spent all night with family and friends and had a blast. One thing about that night that stands out is being able to see you do something you loved, when y'all went down in the basement and had a jam session. Your passion was so awesome to see. I miss you so much mike. I think about you everyday and often wish I had you next to me to make me smile at some silly comment that you'd make. I know you were with us at the concert last week and I could just hear you laughing at us. I hope you can read this guestbook and smile at all the beautiful memories everyone has. I love you kiddo, happy birthday!

I wish that you could be here with us today to celebrate your birthday. I still can't believe your gone sometimes. You were taken from us too soon. I'm glad you got to experience a life of love. Everyone who knows you, loves you. You are such an amazing person, with such a big heart and beautiful smile. I'm so glad Julia got to know and love you. You were always great with the kids. I'm glad you got to experience the love you had with Kaitlyn, some people will never find that kind of love.
I remember when you and Fran were little and would come to our house on the weekend. You two were so hyper! (not nearly as bad as Jude though}. I would take turns flipping you to. I don't know if you remember that. I'd sit you on my lap and hold your arms and flip you back. You guys would say "my turn, my turn" and would do it till my arms were so sore. I couldnt say no because you were so cute.
I love and miss you so much Mike. Happy Birthday. xo

I miss you so much. I think about you everyday. I know you were with us at the Linkin Park concert, smiling and singing along. Everytime I play them it reminds me of you. I will never forget our Sunday dinners where you were too polite to tell my parents that you were full and ate way too much (like 7 sausage sandwiches), all the while smiling and telling them how delicious everything was. I'll never forget how excited Rian was when she saw you and how she used to tug on your beard and laugh so hard while she smothered you with kisses. You were the best Uncle. She absolutely adored you. You were an amazing person; one who was taken from this world way too early. I am so grateful that I got the opportunity to know you. You were a part of the family. You will be missed forever. I love you.
Happy Birthday.

There are so many memories but it's the simple ones I miss the most! I miss just laying next to you and laughing and talking! I miss driving and singing to your random music selections! I miss my best friend and the person I could tell everything and anything to. I would give anything to feel your arms around me, to hear your voice, and to tell you how much love you...I'm sure you know. I miss how safe I felt with you and the feeling of your presence every time you entered a room. I miss you in every way possible! I miss the happy person I was because you were in my life. Thank you for all of our memories and for being the love of my life! I love you and miss you more than words can say!

We use to play hockey everyday. It was funny when we played in the mens roller hockey league. I was 16 and you were 12 during the 1st season that we played in and I was the most reckless person you ever saw and you were the best player on the team from then until we didn't play anymore. those were fun times. I wish you were here.
