Mikey well where do I begin... you were such a great guy, full of energy and always smiling. I remember all the good times we had together and it lights up my heart to think how lucky I am to have known such a wonderful person like yourself. I remember us endlessly joking with one another and each of us always striving to have the last joke. We really knew how to keep a smile on eachothers faces. You were such a sweetheart Mikey, I remember telling you how hungry I would get at work and the next thing I knew there you were with breadsticks and extra marinara (just how I like it) for me. I have endless memories of all the great times we shared that will never be forgotten. You will be missed tremendously Mikey! I know that you are in a wonderful place where God is taking extra special care of you. Have fun Mikey, but not to much fun until I get there! Keep smiling.

My thoughts and prayers are with all your family and friends.

We were heart broken to hear about Mikey. I was so excited to hear today at the service that he was a Christian! Just thinknig of the people he has shared with must bring joy to your hearts. To loose a child must be the toughest thing to go through. I am comforted to know that you both are believers and I'm sure you know God will get you through this trial. In the past I have faced difficult times and I had to tell myself that God will not give me more then I can handle. Sometimes the pain is so overbearing that it is hard to find comfort in those words. But I remind myself of God's promises. He will never leave you nor forsake you. I can say without hesitation that God hears your cries, see's your tears, and feels your pain. He will be there when you are alone with your thoughts. He is there when you cry out and think you cannot take anymore. He will be your strength when you are week and drained. Read his word and meditate on his promises. Mikey is with the Lord. He is experiencing first hand Jesus' face and love. From what I hear about Mikey, I know you are proud to say he was your son. Let God know your heart and he will comfort you. Lean on eachother, love eachother, be patient with eachother. You will see Mikey again! God promises us this. My prayers are with you.
