Michael, we knew you, when you were a young boy. You, along with your brother, Adam, were the sweetest, most helpful, kind, and, insightful kids to be around. We regret, not knowing you in your adult years. But, clearly, you grew up to be a good man, making many people so proud of you. Our condolences, to those who knew, and loved you. What a beautiful legacy, you've left to carry on!

Hi Dad. I love you. I will write to you all the time. I cant wait to see you and visit you and hug you and love you. I have all your hats and your bandana you always wear will always be on me. That way I will always have you with me to protect me like you do best. I feel safe when I hold your bandana and whenever I have bad thoughts I smell it because it smells like you and the bad thoughts go away for a while. Im going to keep this family strong. Im going to continue to be there for mom and I promise I will be nice and help this family. You are my best friend Dad. Forever and always your little girl and first born. I am so proud of everything you accomplished in life. Thanks for giving me two little sisters, pieces of you. I hope I can live up to your name and make you proud of me too but you always told me you were so proud even when I made a mistake. You always gave me the confidence I needed and built me up.
