Just wanted to let you know your grandkids are doing great. Madisons the little trouble maker and a sweet heart at the same time. You would think you are re-watching me grow up because she looks just like me. Matthew is a chunker and looks like your daughter. Grow fast and getting big. You would have been a great grandpa to these kids. I Love you and miss you greatly!

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch...

We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye. But little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.

Mike, You will be greatly missed by many
