Michael, yesterday was valentines day and my thoughts were of you and how my heart was broken when you left this world. There is a beautiful red Cardinal that comes to the bird feeder almost every day, he sits in the tree for a few minutes almost as if he were watching me. My daughter told me people say a red cardinal is a sign from heaven, I would love to believe it was a sign from you Michael.
I know we will see each other again until then rest in peace. I love you with all my heart. MOM

I cannot believe that this will be our third Christmas without you. It will never be the same you have put a hole in my heart that cannot be fixed. I have so many memories of Christmas when you were here.it will never be the same. You brought so much happiness into our lives.
I did put your little tree with the lights on a table in the room we always sit in. I also put one of your favorite characters Klondike Cornelius, It was in your drawer, I also have a Glass squirrel my friend Linda gave me in memory of your love for your squirrel friends.
I also have the picture frame with your picture in it and a card saying you are spending Christmas with Jesus this year. I cry every time I read it, And last but not least is the beautiful picture of you and Rosanne that was taken at you cousins wedding, you both looked so happy.
We will all miss you, and we love
you so much our thoughts will be with you.

December 31, 2014

Michael,
Today is the last day of 2014, it was the worst year of my life.
Losing you has been unbearable. I hope
you have found the wonderful place you so deserve. You were the kindest, most thoughtful son a mother could have, you were so smart there was not one thing you did that wasn't done right.
I remember one day you said to me that you may not have been a success in what most people measure it by, but you were a success as a person. Which is the best person you could be.
I miss you so much. I will always be grateful that I had you with me for those 50 years you really were a gift from heaven.
love you forever

Deborah Thunderchild

August 21, 2014

Dear Michael,

I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for the laughter, for your kindness, for the good times, for the lessons you taught me, for being my friend. Thank you for sharing a part of your life with me. I said goodbye before but said hello again. I will say goodbye now but I think that I will say hello again sometime. In the time between, may you know only love, and the freedom to do whatever you are called to do, and to be all that is you want to be.

The written word has always brought me comfort, and led me back to hope's path when I got lost. I share this poem with your family. May it bring them peace.

A Thousand Winds

Do not stand by my grave and weep,
for I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond's glint on snow.

I am sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle Autumn's rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush.

Of quiet birds in circle flight,
I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.

Mary Elizabeth Frye

August 20, 2014

Michael, I cannot believe today it will be a month that you have been gone, the pain of losing you is still so very painful.

with all my love, Mom.

Hi Mike, their are some things that take time to comprehend and your leaving was very difficult for me. Even though I hadn't seen you for many years the years we were close friends you were like a brother to me. I always thought you would show up at my house one day and I would welcome you as if we never parted ways. I know you're in heaven and I know you're happy there.

Diann, Frank and Michelle, my prayers are for Mike that God has a place in his house for him and for all of you that you have all the love and support you need to get through the healing process

Sending my deepest sympathies, thoughts and prayers. I'm shocked and deeply saddened to hear of Mike's passing. Ida and I always asked him, "Where were you when I was single?" because of his kind, ever helpful, gracious and loving nature. He was a great guy and the world's a great deal emptier today without him.
