Michael Ferrel Obituary

MICHAEL P. FERREL, JR. OCT. 19, 1981 - SEPT. 24, 2001

Michael, it has been 2 years today since you left us although the pain is still felt as though it were yesterday. There are so many times that we expect you to walk through the door or call.

Your daughter Makaila is now 15 months old, and she is a beautiful reflection of you. She looks at your picture whenever we say ``Daddy``. Your memory is held close so that you are really never far from us. Your nephews miss the wrestling matches you used to have with them. They constantly talk about you and will never forget you.

Time passes by, but the pain we feel remains the same. One day we will all be together, until then, we continue to live each day, missing you. We have wonderful memories of you, and will hold them close to our hearts always.

In our hearts, you will live on.

We love you and miss you, Mom, Dad, Vanessa, Tara, Patrick Lorena, your daughter, Makaila; your nephews, Noe, Mando and Anthony; your niece, Alesia; cousins and family www.modbee.com/obituaries

Not a day goes by, still, that when I hear a "certain" laugh or see someone doing the "Mikey shuffle" tears come to my eyes when remembering him. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.



Love, Gene, Pam, David, and Katelan Cole

Dear Mike,Elvia & Family

My love to you. We keep a picture of Mikey where it's seen daily.

When I look at Mikey I think of the kindness he gave to me when I joined your family and became his new Aunt. I really miss him.

Love to you and (my) family. Margie

I also want you to know you guys will always be apart of my life, I feel so close to Mikey when I'm around you all. I love you and so does your grandaughter Makaila.
