My dearest Michael,
April 6th you will be 35 years! It's unbelievable 10 years has gone by. The days seem long but the years are flying by. Memories swarm my mind...of you climbing the tree at 4 years old in Northvale and me having to climb up after you to get you down, telling your pre-school teachers our bathroom blew up (oh the stories you would tell!), you and Cait dressing up as action figures, you and Dan hiding in Aunt Theresa's basement (in the washing machine I think? We couldn't leave you two alone never knowing what you'd get up to). We had great times together Mike. You always had the gift to make us laugh. I so wish you were here. Madison will bring you up in conversations so I know and feel you are her Guardian angel. And Jakey resembles you so much. Love you so much!! Give everyone a big hug from me.
Happy Happy Birthday Michael!!!
xoxo Mom

Dear Michael- how loved you are. It´s impossible to imagine you missing from this world for 9 years already. The emptiness where you would be will remain forever. We are sending hugs to you and our crew up there! You Are most certainly hanging with the most fun, most loving family you could ever want. God bless you forever.

Love you my angel!!!

Michael,
Another year older tomorrow... crazy how fast the years go. I often wonder what your life would be like. Would you be married? Would you have kids? Mostly would you have finally found happiness?
I know I say it to you everyday... I TRULY MISS YOU!
A broken heart never mends it just keeps barely beating.
Always know I love you.
You and Cait made me the happiest I ever was.
Happy 34th Michael!!! Thank you for watching over us.
Love you,
Mom

Dear Michael.... How fast time goes by. Could it really be so long since we saw you last? Maybe thanksgiving at our house all together? Wow. I talk to you all, and imagine the fun going on with you and the crew you have with you! I have been to a medium where you were brought up.... You were with your grandmother and my mom. I love that thought. Know that we think of you and pray for you and our family. One day, we will all be together, having fun and enjoying each other fully in heaven. Much love. Bernadette and Eric.

8 years ago today was the last time I heard your voice Michael. Tomorrow starts another year of you being gone. I’ve lost people these past years but never in a million years did I think my child would be one of them. I love and miss you everyday, Michael . I know you’re watching over us and I want thank you for keeping us safe.
You and Cait will always mean the world to me. ❤❤ Mom

Mike, we miss you more than ever as your niece and nephew grow up. We wish you could be a part of all of these family moments and milestones. Madison talks about “Uncle Mike”, which makes us so happy. I wish you were still on earth to see her and Jake, but we know you’re our guardian angel. Please keep watching over all of us. We love you always and forever.

This year for your birthday Madison and I are going to plant sunflower seeds in all different colors. Once they're all grown we'll plant them around your tree. It's going to look even more beautiful; if that's possible!
We make sure Madison and Jake will ALWAYS know their Uncle Mike and what a great son, brother and uncle you are. Know how much you are missed and loved. I miss you with all my heart Mike.
With my eternal love,

Dear Michael,
Never a day goes by that I don't think of you. I love you so much and miss you each and every day. Knowing we will see each other one day gets me through. I cannot believe today is 7 years since you passed. I still remember every moment of that day and the pain is still there. I would never wish this on anyone. I love you with everything there is in me. God blessed Cait and I with you for 25 years.
I know you are with me, Cait and the kids each and every day. Haha does Jake remind you of anyone???
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE, MISS AND THINK OF YOU MICHAEL
All my love for eternity,
MOM

I can´t believe that 7 years have passed by already....how much we have missed out on you being part of the day to day.... I know you are said to love reading and writing. I think I missed out on many a good conversation with you...How sad that makes me feel. But I suspect you are have one fascinating and fun conversation after another with your grandparents and your aunts and uncles! I´d love to get in on them!! Thinking of you with much love xo

Michael,
All I can say is I miss you as much today as I did when you left us. I thank God for blessing me with two children who I love more than life itself. Somedays it seems surreal that you're gone but I know you are always around us. I know I'm a day early but Happy Birthday Mike; Happy 32nd! Love you Mike.

Happy belated birthday Michael. I was reading some where the other day that “heaven is defined as where God lives”. I loved thinking about that.... so to imagine you and all our family beyond as being in with God- where God lives- seemed very comforting. You know that no matter what, our hearts belong to our loving life here, and our love for you in heaven. Our hearts will always straddle the two. It’s the way it is... sending love to you and all your heavenly crew. Bernadette

Happy Birthday my love. I'm sitting here thinking of what to write while listening to Kenny Chesney. His song "Who'd You be Today" is playing. It's as though absolutely everything I am feeling is sung in that song.
I know you'd be the coolest Uncle Mike to Madison. You'd be spoiling her all the time. You will ALWAYS be a part of her life through the stories we tell, pictures we look at and the love we feel for you. You are truly missed and loved always and forever.
They say there's no tears in heaven; Lord knows I'm making up for it on Earth.
Happy 31st Birthday Michael- we'll be singing to you tomorrow- xoxo Mom

I cannot believe it is 5 years, Cory and I reminisce about the memories that you two shared. I can still remember seeing you the first time after you lost all the weight, and I didn't recognize you. You were a good friend, and a great person. Continue to R.I.P.❤

Thinking of you Michael. Each year, I approach this Guest Book, wishing I could have known you better. I regret that so much. I think of you and believe you are having a really fun time with your grandparents, your Uncle Bobby, Aunt Dee, and all the rest of our family including your Aunt Evelyn and Uncle Joe. My faith tells me you have great peace now that you are finally HOME with God. Our human hearts straddle the worlds of both heaven and earth. One day all of our hearts will be together in heaven. Until then, we love you all from here, and keep you all so close in our hearts and minds. Xoxo

Mike,
I hate that it’s almost 5 years since you’ve left our world. We miss you every day. There’s so much I wish you were here for and every day I wish I could still call you. I wish you were here to meet your niece, Madison. She has big blue eyes just like you and she’s just starting to laugh. I hope she gets your sense of humor. I know you would be the best uncle to her, but I’ll take you watching over as her guardian angel. Thank you for watching over all of us so far and please continue to do so. We love you so much!

My darling son Michael,
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. My heart still hurts at the thought of you gone but knowing you're in a much better place helps. I cannot believe you turned 30 this year, became an uncle to the most beautiful and amazing little girl who Cait and I swear has some of you in her. As long as we live she will always know who her Uncle Mike is. I cannot believe it's almost 5 years since your passing. What started out with such sadness and heartbreak has turned into comfort and acceptance knowing you're watching and protecting us. We love, love , love you always and forever Michael!
P.S. I know you rolled your eyes on "My darling son Michael"

Just a note for you Michael. Just as the spring brings your birthday to mind, this beautiful autumn time of year brings your passing on to your God to my mind. Your absence, though, is felt all year round. With our limited human knowledge, we can only say, you left too soon. Thinking of you and your family all the time xoxo

Michael, where do I even begin? What do I even say?You left me speechless, the least to say heartbroken. How could such an amazing, bubbly, kind hearted, just someone who was so full of life be taken so soon? "Only the good die young" is truly a statement that has now been defined for me.. Literally a brother from another mother to me & Nick. Some of the best times of my life involved you. I will never forget all the laughs and insides jokes me you and Nick share, I thank God for our memories I will be able to reminisce on for the rest of my life. I sit here writing this while tears falling down my face, and some how I still manage to smile because I can close my eyes and see your adorable smile, those dimples, those beautiful blue eyes & hear that contagious laugh that I always complimented you on. Thank you for always being the best brother to me and Nick for the 15 years we all watched each other grow up. My heart breaks for your family, I send them my love, condolences, and strength along with my prayers that are forever with them. May you fly high, shine bright and rest in absolute beautiful peace and paradise. Please forever watch over us, guide us & protect us as we continue to miss and think of you every second of every day that passes by. I love you with all my heart.. Enjoy those scooters pies with Mema in heaven. Love always, "the coolest LITTLE sister you could ever ask for/never had,
