Michelle and Stephanie
I have tried many time to think of the words to place here that may ease a small portion of the pain you are feeling. I could not find them. There is no logic or reason why someone who has so much life to live is taken, I only know that the strength you need to survive will be found in the love of those around you. Share it with one another and all who offer it as I do now. You have been in our thoughts and prayers for many days now and will remain there always. May Michael's memories keep him alive in your hearts and easy the suffering you now feel in time.

Steve, Michelle, Jayson and Stephanie, we were so sorry to hear about Mikey. Although we only met you a couple of times at Agnes' home, it was evident you are a valuable and cherished part of the Parisloff/Piesinger families. If anyone knows what you are going through it is me. I lost my brother Shane (15 years my junior - so I was almost mother to him, my mother worked evenings and I pretty much raised him) when he was 17 years of age in an auto accident also. It was the hardest time of my life. It is not going to be an easy road for you for the next long while, and I know it is no comfort now, but it does get easier. It's been 21 years for me now and I am so thankful for the memories. You are in our thoughts. Take care of one another, time is so precious. Dena

Our thoughts and prayers are with all the Lechner family. Mikey was very special to our family - he took the time for our grandchildren which was very special to them. Hailey and Paige will miss him terribly as Mickey always played on the trampoline with them and took them to the pit to swim. I know Skip will miss the sparring that he and Mikey had everytime they saw each other. Mikey had all the patience and love with the littler kids and always witty which made them always laugh. He will be greatly missed by our whole family -playing on the bales will not be the same without him. We all know that his presence and spirit will be with all of us forever. God Bless.
