Mike,

It's been a year and there are so many times we still find ourselves expecting to see you here. Bowling is not the same - I threw a 297 the other night - probably would've been a 300 if you'd been there cheering me on.

The boys we coached in Little League are looking forward to JV baseball this year. I'll keep an eye out for Patrick at the games. Hard to believe another generation of Dahlke's and Hartman's will be playing on the courts and fields in good old BP.

I miss you buddy.

Mike,

You are always on my mind, Whenever I hear music I think of you, When I look up in the sky I know you are there watching over us all. You are missed by everyone. You have touched many lives. Here are words to a song I found in a book and they remind me of you. It is as if you were speaking to us all.

I'm your Guardian Angel up in the Heavens shining down on you

I'll stay close beside you, I'm there to guide you and know that I love you too.

Though I could not say Goodbye

I'll be by your side always remember

My memories are here with you.

Know that I love you Know that I care I'll always be with you

Though I'm not there.

I'll look down and smile at you everyday I'll always be with you in spirit for always.

Thanks to my family for you've shown much love.

Now that life's plan has shortened my days with all of my faith in God up above here in Heaven I'll stay.

God bless you for all that you are

And all that you do

Always remember my memories are here with you

We should just take life

One day at a time don't let frustration clutter your mind

Now I'm in spirit, my soul is set free just look up to Heaven

In Gods hands I'll be!

My soul is set free,

Remember me!

I think of you often and miss you very much. Its still hard for me to think you're gone, i always think i'll come back home and you'll be there. I just wanted you to know i'm proud to have had you for a brother inlaw and am thankful to have gotten to know you and have you in my life. Thank you for all the time you spent with me and the great memories you've left with me. You are dearly missed by more people than you will ever know. Please keep an eye on all of us and save a room close to you up there for me. I love you and think of you often.

Dear Mike,

I miss you Mike. I miss your voice and your big smile. You would be very proud of Pat and Emily and how well they are doing in school. I think about you every day and pray that you are happy and at peace. The kids and I talk about you all the time. We look at all our pictures, remembering all the good times we had together. I love you Mike and will never forget you.

As you used to call me,

Moonie,

Many fine memories growing up with you and your siblings when we went to Grandpa and Grandma Hartmann's in New Prague. Your presence will be greatly missed, but I will see you often through Patrick and Emily. I went to a Junior High Choir Concert this week and Patrick stood in the center singing his heart out. I could see you Mike.

Mike and Family,

I am lost for words but not tears as I read these entries. My heart aches for all of you.

I watched a video the other night with Mike on it from my sister Jodi's wedding. Mike and and I shared a Christmas message together on the video that we added to our yearly holiday video collection. Mike was smiling as big as usual . I look back at all the laughs we use to share when we did cross paths. Each year at Christmas time we view our former Christmas video's. Every year I will have his smile to look back on. I want you all to know, but I am sure you do already, Mike was loved by so many.

Steve, I will still think of all three of you brothers as the three musketeers only now Mike is just watching over the rest of you.

Hartmann's, take care of yourselves, your cousins love you guys!

Time has turned back to a time we once shared for the brief and precious moments you told me you cared. How I wish for the time that

we are no longer apart, when we can sit down and share Heart to Heart.

Mike,

It's very sad knowing that there will be no more of the 3 Musketeers (Steve, Mike & Joe). We grew up so very close (42, 41, & 40) and it is hard not to have you around any more. I love you "Gunner". You are in my thoughts often, but I know that you are with the Lord and free of the worldly troubles. May you rest in peace -

Your Big Brother,

-Steve.

It is so hard to put into words what I feel in my heart. You were always there for me when I needed a hand to hold or a shoulder to cry on. You will be sadly missed by all of us who loved and cared for you. I pray for you and your family everyday and wish so badly that I could have been there to share in their grief.

Love Dawn

Gunner...what to say, you were with me for my first "real" kiss, sitting in the back of Wazy's car with my two cousins~How can I replace that?? You tried to talk me into having YOUR Senior class party in my GRANDMA's gravel pit (what's up with that?) Drivin' home from college on the very icy I-94 and spinning out and facing the wrong way...YIKES. Then I was able to be your photographer when your married your sweetheart, Vicki. Thanks for all of those beautiful memories Gunner-you are one of a kind!! I really miss you hun, but I understand that it wasn't you that left us and you did the best your could for a long time!! Love, Stacy

Peaceful Eternity

On the morning of October 30th

the year 2003,

I’ll never be able to explain to you

what came over me…

You can’t imagine the darkness

and feeling so deeply alone.

Although you were all there for me,

my mind was in a zone.

Though I did not get a chance

to say goodbye to you…

Forgive me for the pain and sorrow

that I put you through.

Thank you for all the memories

and the wonderful times we shared.

Now that my mind is healthy,

I know that you all cared.

Be assured that I am happy now

and in a better place.

Remember me with laughter

and a smile upon my face.

Believe that I am with the Lord,

standing by his side.

I’ve always been his follower

now he will help me guide.

Guide each and every one of you

through each and every day.

Trust that I will protect you now

and keep you from harms way.

I love you all so dearly

more than you’ll ever know.

Please find it in your hearts

To forgive me and let it go.

In loving memory of our son and brother, Michael J. Hartmann

I miss you Mikey! Hugs and Kisses.
