Keyara and I...enjoying each new day

Melissa Ealy

August 23, 2008

A year has passed and a day does not go by that Michael is not in my thoughts. Keyara and I often have conversations about Daddy or how he would have thought or enjoyed what we are doing. Though he is gone he is constantly here with us. For all that read this, Thank You. Thank you for your support over the year of our new experiences of living with only him in our memory. Keyara and I have made our life positive and happy, day to day knowing that when we choose to have our "moment" it will come, but everyday is new and we choose to keep it positive and moving forward. Again, it's been a year, but EVERYDAY this one day repeats for me and I will remember Michael for all his good and know that he is resting peacefully now without any worries. ~Wife

Dear Family~

I found out very recently about your loss and want to extend my condolences to you. I worked with Mike at Galletto for a few years. I was always impressed by his can-do attitude and commitment to all that he set his sights on. Though diligent attention to all of his endeavors was clearly one of his strenghts, the quality that always impressed me most about Mike was his obvious, loving devotion to his wife and family. He was so proud of and completely commited to all of you that even someone like myself, who did not know him much beyond the workplace environment, could not help but be aware of and appreciate his deep love for his family, which will continue for you always. I am very sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Michael,
Once again I find myself thinking of you and the accomplishments of your life. I think of how impressed I was with you and how far you had gone with your studies. I respect you in a way that I am unfamiliar with in any other friends I have. Why it is that you made such an impact on my life, I may never know, but you sent me into a search for knowledge that I did not desire until meeting you.
I thought I knew something about wines until you started searching and learning. You pushed me to learn more. I tried to out pace you, but you had such a studious way about you, I could never keep up. You gave me a drive that no one else could and I will be eternally grateful.
I hear your voice asking questions during lectures at school, I see your face around campus and I expect to hear something great about you when I talk to Melissa.
You really were my brother, my friend. You made everyone feel as though they were your best friend. You had a way about you that no one can emulate.
I will miss you my brother and I promise to watch over your family as best I can.

Keyara continues to smile and has that top tooth out!

Melissa Ealy, Wife

September 19, 2007

It was only 1 month ago that we were together as a family having dinner, laughing, smiling and enjoying. I like to remember that night-you smiled. Now, not a day goes by without thinking of you, nor a minute without missing you. Tomorrow will be the hardest and every Thursday will continue to be a challenge because I love you and miss you so much. Thank you for the 11 wonderful years of our love and Keyara. You would be so proud to see her today with her missing top tooth. We love you, we miss you and will always be thinking of you. I can remember our first conversation and last at 8am that Thursday with so many in between. I love you Michael. Love, Wife

Mike was the definition of a good man: Honest, loyal, caring, hard working, inspiring and above all full of love and respect for the people he cared about. The amount of loss felt by his passing can be witnessed by the excerpts in this very guestbook. I have faith that Mikes “girls” will be able to keep his spirit and energy alive through them. Melissa, Michaela and Keyara stay strong and remember that he will continue to watch over you all just as he did when he walked this earth. Mike, I love you and will miss you terribly.
