Dear Deborah,
Thank you for your very kind words.
On November 16 Michael Jr would have been 34 years old. We would have celebrated with cake and joy. Please help us by partaking in cake or some other fun (yummy?) activity to keep Michael's spirit alive with all those who he loved and who loved him.
Thank you again, he was an amazing son. Missed each and every day
Renata - mom

My heartfelt condolences to my childhood friend and classmate, Michael Sr., and to all of Michael Jrs. friends and family. I came across this page tonight quite by accident. I am shocked and deeply saddened to learn that my friend's beautiful son was taken from him at such a young age. There are no words. I am so terribly sorry for everyone's loss.

What a great loss. I remember Michael when he was a child, he loved his mom and his dads and was a wonderful loving person. I am grateful that I knew him.

Our dearest Michael , your fathers posting to you is so beautiful. There are no words I could possibly add to the truth and honesty he shares with you. You are deep in our hearts and not a day goes by that I don't miss you and wish I had the chance to share something with you. So many things happen in everyday life that bring your memory so strongly to my mind. Love you so much. Bless you and thank you for all the wonderful memories you left us with. Mom.

Son, yet another year has past. I have no words to express how much I miss you. You are with me every minuet of every day. I am trying with all my might ,with every prayer and stronghold of faith. I attempt to honor you in my life's work and trying to be the best human being I know how to be. I fall short so many times but I keep working at it. I want you to be able to be as proud of me as I am of you. I am not sure why I am writing this here tonight except that I don't know where else to go with my heart. I love you more than words can say. Dad

My dearest Michael, tommorow is the last day of September. Sadly, that means it will soon be three years since the last time I heard your voice...and shared life with you here on earth. I miss you so much, each and every day, but this time of year is much more difficult. We're all doing fine here...not a day goes by that we don't miss you. Your baby brothers, Jon and Sam and learning all about you. I wish you could have met them, you would have loved them and had many laughs with them. We will be coming to visit you in the next few days and hope to feel your presence there with us. I love you so much...and pray you are at peace. Mom

Dear Son:
It is turning that time of year again and emotions are higher that usual. I know we talk every day, but this year, I felt it may be more beneficial to my sorrow to actually write you a note. I miss you so much and am so proud and happy that your Father and Mother gave me the gift of being your parent for your short time on this earth. As you know, Dad and I are doing very well in all areas, the only thing missing is you. I know you are here with us, I can feel you in every breeze and I can see you in every flower. I even catch a glimpse of you from time to time, but most of all, I visit you every night in my dreams. Matt, Staci, Melissa and Corey are all coming out for Christmas this year and we will be expecting your presence to grace our holiday. I am so happy that we spent an incredible time together, whether fighting or laughing, I thank God for that. It's kinda funny, even now, almost every day I find an article of your things or even some message, doodle or note you had written. I love you with all my heart and I know God has you pretty busy with his work. You are forever my guy.
God Speed and I love you.

My dearest Michael, I just learned Kristin recently found out about your accident. She was so kind to leave a note for you...I wonder....do you know what we tell you through our thoughts? I believe you do. She left you a picture from your prom with her, I had the same picture and was able to down load a bigger copy, hope it comes out OK. I miss you so much it hurts more and more each day.....I love you so much. Mom

Yesterday came to me as a complete shock when i had found out what happened. I have known Mike since highschool. We had so many fun times together, All the school dances, prom, dinners were some of the best times i have ever had.
I will never forget the time he came over to my house to meet my parents and my mom said that she had liked his gym shoes and Mike took one of the shoes off just so she could have a closer look. I thought that was so cute and that was the beginning of being hooked for me. He had a charm and an amazing way about him.
Also another time at prom we didnt like the dinner so we all left and went to wendys really quick so we could eat something better. So many memories of him will forever be my heart. I was really blessed to have known him. Your family will be in my prayers.

I just brought Papa home from the hospital. We thought he had a stroke, but things turned out much better and he is recovering well. All he and Babi wanted to do today was to go and visit you. We didnt go today, I'm sorry. But Babi and I stopped by everyday last week when Papa was in the hospital. I dont know about it getting better with time - it just stinks that you're not here with us. I hope you are at peace where you are and know each and every minute of every day how very loved and missed you are here. Till I can look into those beautiful "honey" eyes again....I love you so much, mom

I miss you like crazy. They say it gets better with time....I'm not sure if thats true. I keep the pain to myself most of the time....you leaving this world broke my heart in so many pieces...I will never be the same. There hasn't been a day that has gone by that I haven't thought about you. You are constantly on my mind. I wonder everday if your okay...and if your happy. I hope that your looking down watching over me and missing me as much as I'm missing you. I will miss you until the day we meet again. You will always be my big brother and I will always love you and honor you with all of my heart.
love always,

Dear Michael,
It's hard to believe it's been a year. We missed you dearly at Matthew's wedding....John and I had a wonderful time in Kansas City. Your brother looked so handsome and Melissa so beautiful. Mom and Ed were so proud. They all miss you so much. John and I are planning to take our boys to Melissa and Corey's wedding in the Dominican Republic in June. We know you will be there too.

I had came to kansas city for a wedding and David and michael sr. wanted to go out. I didn't have a babysitter, so they asked michael jr to babysit his cousins. I remember him coming to the hotel room with his hands full of candy. Thinking he was going to sugar them up and give the kids back to me that way. But, they were already asleep.
I miss you michael......
Love, Aunt Linda

Dearest Michael, we are preparing for Matthew and Staci's wedding - exactly one week from tonight. There will be an enormous void there - you - you were supposed to be there as Matthew's best man, that was always the plan. I guess
G-d had a better plan for you. I pray you are at peace and happy doing and being where you are. We love you so much, and miss you you so much beyond what any words can describe. You are always in my heart, and will be there especially on 8/8/08.
Love you so much,
Mom

As you know, my birthday and matts birthday is coming up. Its really hard to celebrate it without you. I remember last year you came out with us to the Dark Horse on our 21st with Kristi and how much fun we had. I look at pictures from that night often. I miss you so much Michael. It wasn't suppose to be this way, I never thought something like this would happen to you. Wish you were here. I love you.

Tomorrow is St. Patrick's day - we brought you a big green heart with flowers on it from your sister, we hope you like it. Babi and Papa planted you beautiful yellow flowers. All around other flowers and trees are beginning to bloom once again, the temperature is turning warmer, a sure sign Spring will soon be here. We wish we could celebrate St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Passover and the coming of Spring with you....instead we are left with only our memories. We love you so much little angel! Mom

Michael, I miss you so much. They say with time it gets easier...but for me its been getting harder and harder. Everyday I feel like I have to remind myself that I'm not going to see you again for a really long time. I miss you so much and it hurts so bad. I can't think of one day that I haven't cryed about you. I just hope that you know how much I love you and how much I wish you were here.
love always and forever,

You loved the snow and Rufus so much...

My dear angel - it is a snowy day today. The first, in fact, that we've had this winter. You are never far from my thoughts or heart - today I am reminded how much you loved the snow. I recall all the times you would run to get my skis and take them out, or just go and play in the snow. How I miss your wonderful smiling face. Mom

Dear Mike, heading into the New Year is tough - we all miss you so much! We wish we could all share a nice, cold bubbly bottle of champagne with you. Know that with each sip we took last night - we toasted to you and to your eternal peace. We're trying to be strong - we know how strong you always were. Sometimes we shed tears for you - but other times we smile as your memory washes over us. We love you so much! Mom and Mishky

Michael.....Christmas is comming up....and It's so hard right now...because your not around. I remember last year...corey and staci couldn't be there so you bought Matthew a Barbie doll and me a Ken doll so we would have "dates" at our family christmas. It was so funny! You always did funny things...and it hurts so much that you won't be here this year. No one can ever replace you. I miss you so much and still....I can't believe your gone. I love you Michael...

Where do I begin? It's been a long strange road. I think about you guys daily and I honestly am still a little dazed and confused. Life is so unpredictable but thank God that Mike had fun, influenced many lives, created amazing relationships, and brought smiles to our faces while he was here with us. I have so many personal memories with michael and thank God for those. My prayers are with you all and I love you guys.

Our family will forever be changed by Mike's passing, and he will always be missed terribly. Despite this I am encouraged by how such a terrible event has reunited all of us, and for that I am very thankful. I love all of you very much, am thankful to have all of you in my life, and look forward to happier times ahead for our family. With much love always, Kate

In the wake of such a loss, we're haunted by things we don't - and may never - understand. Yet the solace we seek may not come from answers. So we look for comfort in the belief of love's everlasting connection. May that love lift you, hold you close, and give you peace. Memories are like stars in the dark night of sorrow. May time soften the pain until all that remains is the beauty of the memories... and the love, always the love. We are never prepared for the loss of a loved one, but God is always prepared to help us through that loss.
May His presence begin the healing in your heart and soul, and may His love surround you with the comfort only He can give. I am truly sorry for your loss.
Respectfully

My sympathy to you on the loss of your Son Michael. There are no word that one can say to stop the pain of losing a loved one. But God's word can help ease the pain and give us much comfort and strength to carry on. The one ting the Jehoveh God promise that the earth will become a paradise and sickness and death will be no more and most of all our loved will br resurrected to live here on that paradise earth. This is a promise from the Bible. May these words help you and give you some comfort to know that this will happen in the very near future.

There is no loss greater than a child. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. I will always remember the good times our children spent growing up together.... driving the toy jeeps, Mike having them "up against the wall" and the hidden peas for Sunday dinner. We are all so much apart of each others lives, even distance can not keep us seperated. We love you all - The Buckmillers
