Dear Kulp family, you do not know me but I wanted to express my deepest sympathy on the sudden tragic passing of your son. Just reading all the entries made me realize how special your son Michael was. I have a son the same age as Michael and could not imagine what you must be going through. No parent should ever have to bury their children before their time. God must have needed an angel and called upon Michael to join him in heaven. My heart breaks for you and your family, but God will help you through this. Your son will always be remembered and loved by all who knew him. God Bless you and your family, take care.

"We little knew that morning, God was going to call your name. In life, we loved you dearly, in death, we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
You left us beautiful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you're always by our side.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing feels the same. But, as God calls us, one by one, the chain will link again."

The Kulp Family,
My heart must have sank a million miles when i heard that one of my close friends from elementary school had left us. Mikey was a great friend to have. From the endless summer days we spent together to just an hour having fun at his grandmother's house. Those are the times that will truly be missed, yet cherished now and forever. I definatley missed mikey this year at school. His new friends at his new school must have enjoyed his contagious laughter and brightening smile. Mikey in many ways had touched my heart and everyone elses. Me and everyone else he has met will miss him truly with our whole heart. My prayers go out to you and your family. God bless you. With love, Morgan Mullen

Nature
As a fond mother, when the day is o'er,
Leads by the hand her little child to bed,
Half willing, half reluctant to be led,
And leave his broken playthings on the floor,
Still gazing at them through the open door,
Nor wholly reassured and comforted
By promises of others in their stead,
Which, though more splendid, may not please him more;
So Nature deals with us, and takes away
Our playthings one by one, and by the hand
Leads us to rest so gently, that we go
Scarce knowing if we wish to go or stay,
Being too full of sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends the what we know.

In reading all the outpouring here from loved ones who knew your beloved son, it is apparent the strong impact he made for someone so young. May this provide some comfort in knowing your community is grieving with you and mourns the loss of your beautiful son. Indeed so tragic and senseless and more than any family should endure. You are in my prayers now and always.

Dear Kulp family,
I knew Michael through my friend and colleague, Trish, and I used to love visiting with him when he stayed with Trish after school at Lehigh. I used to tell her how incredibly cute he was, and how his personality was infectious! Please know my prayers and thoughts are with you constantly during this horrific time. Susan Neal

Dear Loving Family and Friends of Michael,
There are not enough words to express the sadness of your loss. From one mother to another, please stay strong and find comfort in your faith knowing Michael is safe and in the arms of Jesus. I can see by his contagious smile, that he would not want you sad. I pray that time will heal your broken hearts and give you the courage to always remember his smile, then pass it on to others in his memory. May God bless you always. "God only takes the best!".

Dear Mike,Tamara,Mikell and the entire kulp family. It is with deep sympathy and heavy heart that I write this. Words cannot express how deeply saddened we all are over the loss of Michael. No parent should ever have to burry their child it's just not the way it's supposed to be.These are times that really test our faith, Why, why, why, it just doesn't make sense. There are so many bad people down here why take a kid like Mike??? Those are questions you're going to have to figure out over time. The only thing I can think of is God just did not want any bad people up there. He just got himself a number one draft choice, a first class Angel that's what Michael was, A beautiful Angel. Mike was a very sweet kid who touched a lot of people, His big rosy cheeks and smile were infectious. It was my pleasure and privilege to have coached Michael over the years, He was the best teammate a kid could have, he had a true uplifting spirit. At this years banquet we will give out the wrestling spirit award in memory of Michael. It will be called The Michael Kulp Cup - Spirit award.
There are no words that can help to make you feel better but, please know that the entire community is in your corner and we all have you all in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Kulp Family,
I just couldn't believe the news when a friend from Lehigh told me about "Mikey's" death. I remember his friendly banter, his contagious smile and his sweet apple cheeks that you just wanted to pinch. I cannot begin to imagine the deep suffering and pain that all of you are going through. And I know that words cannot heal your pain when the only thing you wish for is your son alive and back in your arms again. But know that he is in the arms of someone who loves him. As he sits on Jesus' lap and shines his smile down on his family I am sure that HIS only wish is that you keep your faith strong and know he is at peace. Heartfelt prayers, warm thoughts and deep condolences go out from our family to yours! Steph Dunbar(previously worked in Lehigh Elem Library)
