My Love Michael...Today would have been 5 years we were married. I can't believe so much has changed since that day. I miss you every day and will never love anyone like I loved you. Until we meet again, I'll always love you!! M & M Forever...10/4/08
July 22, 2013
My dearest Michael, I miss you so very much everyday. I know it has been a while but you are always in my thought. I will be moving Dad back to the valley soon. He says he is OK with it but I worry if he really is. I don't know what I will do if I lose him too. Nancy and Russ have been making an effort to be in touch with him and I know that makes him happy. I just wanted to say I love you and miss you so much. I am not mad at you anymore. You will always be my best friend.
Love always your big sister,
J
PS: The Dodger are tied for 1st, I think I converted Dad to the Dodgers side. lol

It's nearly unfathomable to think it has been two years already since you passed away. Why does it still hurt so bad? You took a big piece of my heart away with you...it doesn't feel the same to me...like I'm just not whole anymore. Sometimes I am just so angry with you for leaving all of us!! It's just not fair. Life is just so unbearable sometimes.I miss you My Love every single day of my life. I love you forever.....

Missing you once again as another Christmas and another year passes us by. I still can't even believe you are gone. Too young, too much to still live for, just getting started together. My heart aches for you every day still and I imagine it will for the rest of my life. I love you with all my heart. Praying you are at peace and rest in Heaven as this 2012 year comes to an end. Forever yours My Love......Maxine

Happy 51st birthday My Love!! I can't believe how much I miss you. I think of you every day, wondering what life would be like for all of us if you were still here. The days go by so fast sometimes...and other times they just stand still. It's almost going to be 2 years since you left us. I just can't even begin to tell you how much I miss your smile, your hugs, your little notes. I still see your vending truck every now and again, and it still has your "I love boobies" sticker on it!! Too bad the guy driving it never got to meet you. I love you forever...to the end of time...you have and always will have my heart. Hope you are having a fabulous time, enjoying a beer, surrounded by loved ones in Heaven. Missing you, loving you, always....your wife

I am so touched at the entries in this guestbook from everyone who loved Mike. My family was fortunate enough to be friends with Mike, Russell, Nancy and Joyce for many years growing up in North Hollywood. Mike and Russ were like brothers to me and it was a sad day when we moved to Texas in 1979. Mike's light burned brighter than I could have ever imagined though, as I see how special of a person he was to each and every one of you who have written here. We have all been blessed to have known him and shared in his life. I know he is looking down at us with that smile, the one that could always light up a room and soften our hearts. I will always have many happy memories of him, we have all been blessed with that, it seems. God Bless you all.

The number 20 didn't use to mean much...until Feb. 20, 2011. One year and 6 months ago today you were whisked away from us to the Heavens. I've missed you with every part of my being every day since then. I don't know how I have managed to go on with life, but I have. It is not the same, but it is what it is. I love you like no other, and no other will ever be able to take your place. Missing you Michael on this year and a half "Angelversary." I love you for always!!!!!
your lil' miss
June 17, 2012
Another Father's Day is upon us...years just zoom by now-a-days. Miss you more than you know. Out of the blue, things pop into my head of some of the silly things you used to say or do. I miss that the most. It's still so hard to realize you are gone. I know you are with us in spirit, but I'd rather you be here in person. I love you and will love you til the day I see you again in Heaven. Wishing you the best of Father's Day!! M & M Forever XOXOXOXO

It is still hard to believe that you are gone. When I come to this page I realize once again that I will never hear your voice again. Although I can still hear you in my head. "Hi Bear". I hope and pray that I will be able to hear your voice in my head till the day I pass away and join you in heaven. Most days, as you know, I am ok. But a few times a month I get so sad. Feel so alone. I miss my Pops. My best friend. Fathers day is almost here again. Last year I spent it with friends, Drinking. Trying to numb the pain. This year I will try a different approach. I want to celebrate your life. I want to remember all the fun times we shared. Father and daughter. All the conversations. All the smiles. All the laughs. You will always be the best father in the world in my eyes. I love you with all my heart and soul. xoxo

Michael, My Love, On your one year “Angelversary, “I miss you more than there are grains of sand on the beaches. I will hold you in my broken heart forever.
After losing Danny, I never thought there could be any more pain as massive as the loss of a son, but then I had to endure that all over again with the loss of you, my husband.
I have learned a lot over the past year. I learned that you never should take anyone's love for granted. I learned that God must have thought you had worked hard enough in your short lifetime and it was time for you to rest. I learned that somehow, someway, life goes on.
I will be forever indebted to you for the love we shared. The kisses and hugs at the beginning and endings of our days, the laughs we had every day of our lives together. I couldn't be more thankful for that…you always made me laugh. It has taken me a long time to learn to laugh again.
Hoping you are resting in peace and paradise, I will love you for always, until we meet again.

Michael~This is the tattoo I got for you on your birthday. So much time has passed since you first started leaving me M & M's on my lunch table at work...sneaking your way into my heart=) and you telling me how you used to "spy" on me through the blinds in the Lockheed lunchroom as I was walking from the "south forty" parking lot!! lol I can't believe you did that. Well, your candies and sweet face stole my heart away. There will NEVER be another man to live up to what we had. I love you so much, my heart is still and forever broken. I can't wait to see you again in Heaven where I can be whole again!! I LOVE you My Candyman!!! Kisses and great big hugs always, your loving wife

Michael's 50th Birthday
November 21, 2011
Happy Birthday to the absolute love of my life!! I wish that you were here so we could celebrate your 50th birthday, but I will have to be happy with you celebrating with those who have passed over into another world.
You worked your life away supporting your family, never really having too much time for yourself. I'm glad the last few years of your life you got to see some amazing places like Sequoia, Kauai, Pacific Grove and even Venice Beach where you had never been before! You are the man of all men. I am so blessed to have spent those beautiful vacations with you!! We had so much more planned to see in this world, but as we all know, God had something else planned for you.
I love you and will love you forever. Take care of my heart, because you took it with you when you left. I miss you so much and will be getting a tattoo in your honor today. To think, it all started with M & M candies =)
I LOVE YOU FOREVER, YOU ARE MY WORLD!!!
ALWAYS in my Heart and Soul, Maxine

There just are no more words to say how I feel that you are gone. It has been 9 months today, I just can't believe it. Getting ready for Thanksgiving is heartbreaking without you. You were THEE turkey carver! I am going to miss you in the kitchen helping with the meal. I know you will be with us in spirit...you and Danny...cause we all know that Thanksgiving and food were Danny's favorite holiday =) I love you forever.

8 months...it seems like only yesterday I was writing in here about 7 months that have passed since you've been gone. I still, to this day, cannot believe you are not with us here on Earth. I know you are with us everyday in spirit, but I want to feel you with us. Sometimes that seems impossible. When one of our songs comes on the radio right when I am thinking of you..I know that is a sign you are here. 8 months is a long time, it's so unfair that you were taken from all of us. I just don't understand. I can hardly hold myself together sometimes dealing with the grief still.
I LOVE YOU with every being of my body!!!! I miss you soooooo much. I am just broken without you by my side.
Til we meet again My Love...I will cherish our memories forever XOXOXOXOXO

Every once in a while, I go to my voicemails and scroll to the bottom. The very last message I have was left by you.. On my 21st birthday you told me you were extremely proud of me and that you loved me. It sounds as if it could be you knew those words would stand the test of time and keep reminding me you are here for me..
I can't emphasize what you have done for me in preparing me to face the troubles of the world with my chin up and chest out. I'm here to let you know I'm proud of YOU! I'm so proud to be your first son and I will never, ever forget the man you made me to be.
I owe everything and more to you. A thought passed in my mind today that I was hurt I couldn't ask you for advice. But I realized I could, anytime. So I closed my eyes and asked you.. but there was no response.
I love you so much and Im trying my hardest to keep the promise I made you to continue in making you proud. It's so hard sometimes not to slip into the daily grind that wore you down over so many years, but I will keep my promise in making the Dugas name one to remember..

To my "little mister" =) it's been a year now since we bought our "dream" house. Unfortunately, it has not been the dream I envisioned. My visions of summer bbq's, kids laughing and playing in the pool, just working on the house-making it "ours" were all shattered when you were called to the Heavens. It has been a difficult 8 months here without you. I'm hoping that things are going to change and the outcome will be a brighter future. I love you, I'll always love you. You were my world!!!! XOXOXOXOXO

HI My Love, This is a digital photo that Renee made for me. She said "my boys were asking her to make it".They helped her "spiritually" to pick out the pictures to use. It is absolutely breathtaking! I love you and miss you so much. You are forever in my heart and on my mind...M & M Forever...

Happy Anniversary My Love! It would have been only 3 years we were married today. Sexiness wears thin after a while, and beauty fades, but to have been married to a man who made you laugh every single day, ahhhhhh, now that's a real treat!! I love you more than you know and miss the laughter we shared! Til we meet again, I will love you forever!!!!

Seven long but also short months have passed now. Sometimes it seems like yesterday, sometimes it seems like it has been years!! It's just a daily challenge to move on no matter how long it has been. I miss you like crazy. I love you even more. I still can't believe you, the one person I loved as much as my own children, was taken away. It STILL doesn't make any sense. Why? Why? Why? I truly hope Heaven is as good as everyone says it is, and I hope all of you are enjoying your new lives up there! I love you forever!!! Missing you every minute of every day!!!

I remember driving with you to work on my Sunday's and listening to the music that you loved. I got into most of it...(still not a big Bruce fan but that might be because you played him out haha)But there are still some songs I think about and have to listen to asap. This is one of them...

Five long months have past by since you've been gone. I seem to still be walking around in a fog. Things are going ok, but the future is looking a little unsure right now. I miss you like crazy =( I cry still almost every night thinking about you and Danny and wondering WHY???? Why did God take you guys from us?? I just don't understand. Life is hard, it isn't good right now. I miss you my love. Always and Forever yours.

Wow, the spiritual medium I went to see last month was right on about the kids!! Amazing how much information she was able to give me from you, Danny, Woody and my grandfather. I will stay close with your mom, dad and sisters and brother. You know what they say, "Everything happens for a reason." I love you honey, and am having your paver stones made up right now. Hopefully they should be ready and placed by our Anniversary in October. I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART. XOXOXOXOX

Soooo, I've been swimming every day in our pool. It is very lonely out there without you. I can only imagine how much fun we could have been having every day after work enjoying the cool water together. I can't even believe you never got to swim in it!! It breaks my heart, more than it is already broken. I miss so much our conversations about everything and nothing!! I love you my Candyman =)

Hey Pops...
A few days after fathers day and I'm still so depressed. I couldn't work on Sunday. I could barley open my eyes from all the crying the night before and that morning. I think about you ALL the time. Anytime I'm doing something, I think, what would dad say about this situation? What kinda of advice would he give? There are so many silly stories I want to tell you. I miss being able to call you when I have down time during the day and just tell you about the day, or something Ayden did, or just to hear your voice.
When you first passed, I was so numb. For the past month...It's all been hitting me. HARD. Things are going to well for me finally and I can't call you up and tell you all about it. It hurts so bad to go on without you. You were and always was my best friend. Why did you have to leave?!

Four months have gone. Feels like yesterday. My thoughts are with everyone of us today.

I love you for now and always. XOXOXOXO

Hey dad. I still almost call you from time to time before I remember the circumstances. It's an unhappy occurrence each time it happens, but then again, the more often I think about you, the better. The last few months without you have been tough to say the least. Missing you has made me much more reclusive then I have been, though I try to be strong for Jeremy and Mom. But where there is difficulty, there's also appreciation for what I am lucky enough to have. I feel like every day I go to work or take care of various responsibilities, I do it like you're watching me. I do it like you would. And I like to think it's made me a better person in the process, and for that among many other things, I thank you. I miss you so much. Shannon and I are going to Johnny Carino's on Fathers Day. It was the last place I ate dinner with you. It was the last time I sat down and talked to you. I wish you could've met Shannon, you would've loved her, and she would've loved you. I'll try not to become so distant from my loved ones in the future, and I hope none of them take it personally. As they say, everyone mourns in their own way. I love you so much, and I'll keep looking at the picture I keep of you in my wallet. Keep me safe, dad.
-Love, Kevin

Well...I finally made a photo book of some of the photos I have of you. It actually came out really good (I think anyway). So many memories. Some I was so little I can't remember but wish I did. Surprisingly, I didn't cry until I viewed it completed... now I can't stop.
My heart aches....

Pop you think you can just halt all football because you won last years fantasy league?? So if you can't win, nobody will huh? This time of year we would be scheming on how to make the league better and begin the trash talking.. I miss you so much.. How does it seem like you've been gone for years?? In a couple weeks I'll be leading the caravan to the dodgers/angels game and I'm sure youll be heavy on all our minds that night.
I love you and I continuously think of you through every action of the days..

Michael, I went to a get together for NHHS. Saw lots of old, and I mean OLD friends. And found a lost friend, Kelly Spittler. I was so great to talk to him, we are going to get together soon I hope. It will be nice to talk to someone from long ago. Remembering we used to play football in the street, wow we must have all been a little crazy. Any it was good to see him and everyone else but also a bit bittersweet. Though you really weren't into the class reunions it is always fun to see people we used to know when life was so simple. I love you very much and miss you so much.
Love you always J

Hey Pop,
It's now been two months and a day that you left us. How, when it has seemed like a lifetime? Our day to day talks about the boredom of the grind and the excitement of the family seem so far away. Something told me to go out last night and use the resources at my disposal to have a good time and celebrate the way you would have been proud of. Whether it was you whispering this or my own spirit, I'm grateful. I'll never look at the number 20 the same again.. I love you

Hi dad. I hate to talk to you through the computer, but it seems we have a little distance between us. I don't know if you knew this but you are my best friend. Matt is a close second but you will always be my number one. Sometimes, I miss you so much it hurts. Hey! Five buck? "I'm so happy that I can't stop crying. I'm laughing through my tears. I'm laughing through my tears." I know things didn't pan out the way everyone had hoped but I could not have had a better role model than you, pops! I love you so much daddy. You made me who I am today and I thank you for that. You made me want to be a better person. Everything reminds me of you. I think the thing that hurts the most is that I will never get another papa bear hug goodbye from you again. Or get to hang out and ride around in your truck and consider it "work." It was a pretty sweet deal if you ask me. I'm so proud of you. I'll always keep you close to my heart. Everything I do is for you. Love you dad :)

Michael,
I wish I could turn back time and have you back here with me. I miss you so much. I think of you in everything I do. Life will never be the same. I put one of my favorite picture of us by my bed. Sorta says it all. I remember the conversation we were having at the time. So hard to believe I won't be able to hear your voice, give you a hug have a conversation with you or just chill with you. Makes no sense.
I love you
Your little sister.

Dad,
Brian is so good with words! I have sooo many memories of you and all us kids together where you just did things to us/with us... just for the comic relief. Like: "piece of this". We would jump on you and u would just push of off like we were feathers on your shoulders... but we always came back for more.. no matter how much blood could have been shed..
I was thinking on the way home today about how I/we would always clean the garage when you were at work so you would come home and be so proud.. and secretly we wanted u to be so proud you would let us drink a beer when we played darts that night. ;)
I love thinking of all the amazing memories.. it's what keeps me going!
I love you!
Your son
April 8, 2011
Dad, so many things have changed since you left us. Your family has grown so much closer with your spirit right on our shoulders but life seems so much more difficult without your guidance. I find it hard to focus on things and my mind races all day.
I keep items of yours around me wherever I go, though. And even though I don't speak of my feelings of you often, I pull these symbols out and keep the memories you gave me fresh in mind.
Just the other night I remembered how I learned how to swim. It was at the ranch years ago, I must have been only 5 or 6 years old. Remember the slide leading into the pool? You sat at the foot of the slide promising to catch me as I fell in the deep end. But pulling a move only you would, you pulled your arms back and I sank in the pool that felt like the size of the pacific ocean. I recall feeling so scared as I flail under the surface. I came up furious at what you did and I ran to mom for comfort.
It wasnt until years after that I appreciated that. I realized you didn't do it to "toughen" me up, it was just amusing.. Please excuse if I missed the joke at the time. :)
I love you Pops

One month ago today, God decided he needed to take you from your loving family and friends. I hope you are giving him the "stink eye" cause we all know you did not want to leave our happiness! I certainly hope he had a good reason for taking you from us. My heart is in so much pain, I fear I will not be able to go on without you. Your grandchildren Jared and Christopher are coming to visit today, I hope I can compose myself long enough so that they don't think I'm a nutjob! I love you and miss you soooo much Michael, you don't even know. I'm hoping all your stress and pains are gone and you are enjoying your time there with Danny and everyone else we have lost along the way. Rest in Paradise my love.

We went out to the desert today to see Danny.It is his 30th birthday, but of course you know that. It's not the same there without you. You used to always say a prayer at the end of our visits...I wish I knew what you said to Danny..maybe you can let me know in a dream, so that I can say them when we visit. I love you. I miss you. It's so hard going on without you.

Well, I am back at work..again..going to try and make it through the 3 days of my work week. All I did was cry all day yesterday at home. I couldn't control myself. Every card, every picture, everything was making me cry. I miss you soooo much. Our house is quiet and empty without you. I have to stay strong and do everything to this house that WE said we were going to do. I will make it OURS!! I love you Michael..my heart is broken in a million pieces and will never be whole again.

Pops,
It's getting harder by the day.
I wish in Cali to be with Max. I miss you both so much. I can't believe your gone. I'm still so numb. I have only cried once since I have been home. I wish you were here...
