Hey Little Sister, I hurt as badly now, after all these years, as I did on the day you left us. The choked feeling in throat and heart when I think of you; the extreme sadness that you passed on Mom's birthday is hard to bear today. The world is hurting too. Send prayers to our Lord for all of us. You know I love you. And as much as the tears are flowing down my face, there is also a smile . You always made me laugh! What are you thinking? Big sister, Susie

Hi Little Sister, I know our Margie is hurting. I do not know what made me check out the notice that there was a new message to you on Legacy...I very rarely do. Dad is with you and Mom now and another unfillable hole has appeared in the family landscape. We will just have to find a way to make those holes have a new purpose...one that is beautiful and reflects the strengths of our family. A true legacy to all of you and the future with a meaning to carry on the love we have for one another. Like Daddy said,"family is the most important thing". WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?

January 27, 2011

SWEET SISTER, IT'S JUST A DAY THAT I WISH YOU,MOM AND DAD WERE HERE.I REALLY WISH I COULD SIT DOWN AND TALK WITH YOU ,BUT I CAN'T/PLEASE HEAR MY PRAYER'S I NEED A SIGN THAT YOU ARE WITH ME. AS ALWAYS I MISS AND LOVE YOU ALL............

To my beautiful aunt,
we all miss you so very much. Everytime I think things are hard for me, I remember all the pain and heartache you went through and that gives me strength. You are still such an influential part of this family and we know you are watching over us with Grandma. Love, Debby

October 25, 2009

Hi little sister,
Sometimes the soul on this earth has too much heaviness bearing it down and the physical actions are an unwanted reaction to sorrow. I have no other outlet at this time except inner prayer, endless conversations to you, Mom, and God. I take this moment in time to thank all who love you.
Hey, what are you thinking? Love,Big Sister

October 23, 2009

Sweet Michele,
You are always in my heart and will never be forgotten. May God be with your loving family.
Love In Christ,

Dearest sweet sister, I sit here now thinking of you and Mom with so much love and with a very heavy heart,you are both missed so much but you know that.I still find it so hard to believe that on this day the most beautiful Mom was born, and on the very same day you left us for ever.Please pray for our families and know how much you both are missed. Love Margie

October 22, 2009

Hello Michele,
Today is the anniversary of your passing and our mother's birthday. I'm thinking of you both with love and missing you (as I do every day). I know mom is now up there in Heaven with you Michele and I hope that you are both at peace. Please pray for our father and our families.

With Love,
Your sister, Denise xoxox

Dear Michele, Another year gone and you are thought of as much as the first day you left us. As always I think of you with love and laughter. And of course when I stub my toe, I think, ok Michele, I should not have said that bad word.....thank you for being my sister..til we meet again.

Hello My Michele,

I have had you on my mind a lot lately. Your birthday and Mother's Day had a lot to do with it I am sure; but, there is more to it than that. Alot of dreams...you know what I mean. I miss you , it never will stop...I see that now. A big chunk of our family left with you. I guess I am in a very reflective mood and need an outlet. I know you are there, it is not the same. What are you thinking?

Love you little sister,Susie

Of course this is the time when the loss and hurt is worse. We all still miss you and there are no little quips or special words to make it better. MOM BOUGHT YOU BEAUTIFUL FALL FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR YOUR HEADSTONE-that is special. Kisses and love, your Susie. What are you thinking?

Sweet sister, Its hard to believe today is your Birthday and you are not here, I kissed your picture as I always do, but today it is harder then usual. I love and miss you so much. Happy Birthday..Love Margie

March 21, 2007

Oh Michele, today is a hard day for me so I thought I would sit down and talk to you. There is so much going on in our lives as you know, if only you were here. I miss you so much that I still hurt inside. When sister will I feel better..........I love you so much and it hurts to know that you went though so much pain. Pray for us..

Dennis Gearin

March 5, 2007

I think of you often. When I'm at the Sysco office a say a prayer and tap your name plate on the way in the door. You have a special place in my heart with all those past memories. I miss the way you turned the negative to positive. Your memories make me smile inside and out.

susie Primeau

March 3, 2007

Hey Little Sister,
I have had a hard time putting my thoughts down. You know what is in my heart, but I have finally got to that place where I can smile when I think of you. Today Debby and I went up to Meredith to do "wedding things" and all I could think of was you saying that you were going to miss everything. We are going to feel that hole again. Hopefully Corey and Alex will be there and it will be a little piece of you to hug. We are so happy for Alex...wish we were joyful about Corey. He could heal so much for me. Be there Michele and give us a special blessing.....There! I feel better. Love,Susie What are you thinking?

Alex

December 29, 2006

Michele,
There is not a day that goes by when I do not think of you, with great fondness. I still pull out all of those sweet cards that you gave me with your little notes of love.

December 26, 2006

Merry Christmas Michele, I know that you were with us all at Johnny's and that you were smiling down, we missed you dearly,and "we miss Cory too", I can only hope........well you know sister I don't have to say it. I miss you so much .....pray for our Family....

Michele, Our angel. I miss you. It isn't easy living in this world without you. I'm reminded everyday how lonely I am without your phone calls and your silly little jokes "Hi Denise...hows de nephews" LOL. But I do love thinking about you and remembering everything we shared. Please keep us all in your prayers.

November 15, 2006

It still boggles my mind that you are not here with us. I miss you so.

A sorrow that still stings

Of all the tears and emptiness
The loss of loved ones brings.

And so each year when it comes round
We feel both joy and pain.

Our sadness comes from missing you,
And missing you from love,

And love from all the love in you
That we became part of.

Your love is still alive in us,
We feel it ever new;

Our mourning's filled with happiness
By memories of you, my friend.

October 22, 2006

Dearest Sister, I find it so hard to believe that its been 2 years today since we lost you. Yet it seems like just yesterday that we were all togther with no worries. We had your mass today,it felt good to be with family yet there was still that one piece that just wasn't right, and that my beautiful sister was you,how I miss you so much.pray for us all..........always with much love, Margie

Sweet Michele,
As we proceed into the month of October, I am reminded of how many fond memories I have of us together.You are such a unique and loving woman and I will always cherish our time together in my heart.
I not only loved you, but love your family and consider them as my family.
God's grace is truly amazing.
Love forever,
Alex

My funny Michele, how I miss you so. I think of you so often. I could be doing just about anything and a thought will pop into my head about you. Sometimes they are funny and sometimes they are sad and sometimes I am so angry that you are not here with us.

It is a beautiful 3 day weekend and I have thought of you many times because it was usually a holiday when we would have time to see each other with all of our busy schedules. Your birthday has come and gone again, I hope you know we were all thinking of you. I still have a hard time wrapping my brain around the fact that you are not here with us. I so miss your smile and laughter. I hope you feel the hugs and kisses that I send you so many days. Love you, your friend forever, Nancy

May 11, 2006

Sweet sister, How I miss you so. I know that you were smiling down on us on Monday as we got together for your Birthday. That was the perfect day for me I felt so good talking about you and also talking to you, you know what I mean.......oh Michele, how I try not to cry, its so hard sometimes, like right NOW. And yet so many mornings I wake up with a smile and thinking to myself I can't wait to say hello to Michele as I hold your picture. Its not the same, but its all I have. I love and miss you Michele, Love Margie

Christine Culley

May 11, 2006

Dear Michelle,

I think of you often and still cannot believe that you are no longer with us. Oh do I miss your laughter and smiling eyes! My sister recently loss her husband to cancer and I can't help to think how this cruel disease "steals" our love ones so early from us. Our hearts remain heavy and at times when we lose love ones too early, it challenges our faith. I recently came across a poem that helped me and I hope helps my family and yours with our loss:

"Life is eternal, and Love is immortal, and death is only a Horizon; and a Horizon is nothing save the limit of our Sight"

~Rossiter Worthington

Can't wait to see you again -

Your friend always,

Christine

Well, little sister,

It was you birthday yesterday. It was a beautiful, sunny day..a perfect May day and I was happy to visit your grave with Mom. She took a real interest in arranging the flower memorial that we brought. Margie and DeDe had been there before us with beautiful birthday offerings of their own. Of course Mom directed me to re-arrange things a little... I am sure you were smiling in complete understanding and saying,"She is so cute!"

Margie, DeDe, Lucy and I were together last night and we spoke of you and to you. Were you smiling then, too?

All our tremendous love and all our sad longing for you must make you want to preach to us. I can hear you saying," It doesn't matter because we are always together...forever and always...

LOVE YOU, SUSIE

Michele,

As the season changes from winter to spring, I am missing you more, as our first date was, as you know, the first day of spring. Your sweetness and generosity of heart was like a breath of fresh air for me.Thank-you for your love.

Your Little Buddy,

Alex

They were so right when they said the wound of losing someone you love heals very slowly. I think that people who were military brats are able to outwardly adjust better...but; internally the wound is much deeper for our siblings. We have learned to be flexable in dealing with loss. Our family, on the other hand, was the only stability that we had. Our Michele was part of our magic. Her loss is totally a hole in Us. Gary, I am sorry that I do not remember you, but; I am sure that you are a part of our wonderful days in England. And I am also sure that you know what I mean about Air Force Brats. Thank you for thinking of us. Michele, always together, forever and ever...Big sister.

Margie

Hi, Little Sister,

I am having a hard time writing my thoughts these days. Monica said it right, there is a lot of things happening...our family was the perfect family for a very long time. We were very lucky...it had to come to an end sometime. There is a lot of ill health, mental woes and emotional hardships going on. The good news is that we are strong in our love and we have always stuck together...at least, most of us are there for eachother. We have you, our angel to pray for us. I love you and miss you. Susie

Monica Clark

January 20, 2006

Oh boy, Where do I begin. It's been so long since I've been able to sit on a computer for more than just a moment to write to you. For so many, to have a computer is a normalcy, to me it is a privelage. I think of you so often, wondering if you are listening and watching. Why is there so much crap in life? Why does it have to be made so difficult when it isn't necessary? I wonder if you now have the time to watch and ponder on these thoughts or questions of life and actually have the peace of mind and patience to figure them out. My baby boy isn't such a baby anymore. He is now 1 going on 5. TO me he's a genious, but in my eyes I suppose he always will. He is my angel sent from above and as beautiful as can be to me. Things are so screwed up with so many things but I'm sure you already know that. ALl I pray, is that you hear me when I call. I love you!

Your niece,

Monica

You meant so much to all of us

You were special and that's no lie

You brightened up the darkest day

And the cloudiest sky



Your smile alone warmed hearts

Your laugh was like music to hear

I would give absolutely anything

To have you well and standing near



Not a second passes

When you're not on my mind

Your love I will never forget

The hurt will ease in time



Many tears I have seen and cried

They have all poured out like rain

I know that you are happy now

And no longer in any pain.



We all miss you so much Michele!

Michele, I am so happy that others are still thinking of you! The family, of course , will have you in our hearts forever. Your mass was wonderful in the sense that Father Aggey must have been listening to your suggestions to our Lord. It was the perfect Homily and the words just touched the right minds. LOVE IS POWERFUL,Susie

Christine Culley

October 24, 2005

To my dear friend Michele,

I can't believe that you have been gone from us for over one year now. . . I think of you so often and miss you so much. There have been so many times when I see or hear someone that reminds me of you - oh do I miss your laughter. I talk and pray to you all the time as well as pray for Cory and your family for I know that their hearts must ache all the time for you. May God give them comfort to know that you are free from pain and that your love is with us all.

I will never forget you Michele and hope to see you again one day.

Love Christine

Dear Michele ~

It's been a year and I think of you often. I got the courage to listen to a couple of voicemail that you sent me. That made me sad, but also I felt warmth in my heart. When I am down at work I think of how you held your head high and dealt with things and I know that I will be okay. You are dearly missed at work, but your inspiration goes on... With love, Tiffany

My Sweet Friend, Michele,

Here it is one year since you went home to be with the Lord. I am so grateful to Him that He placed you in my life for a season. His timing is so perfect. I miss you dearly, but I know that to live is Christ, and to die is gain.I am so reassured that you have gained your eternal reward, just by your child-like faith in our Lord and Savior, Jesus, in whom you put your faith.

Thank-you for being my friend and confidant. You were an inspiration to me and instrumental in encouraging me in my healing after Leslie's passing. I will never forget the love that you showed me and can't wait to see you on the other side of glory.

Love Forever,

Alex

Dear Sweet Michele,

I know that your spirit is in total bliss in the presence of our Lord. I think of you often and the happiness that you brought me. People say that I was good for you, but you were a gift from God to me. He knew that at the exact time, when I would benefit from your friendship and unconditional love. Thank-you for being there for me, Michele. My heart still aches for you.

Love,

Alex

Ah,my Michele,

This time last year you were still making plans to go to the islands with Alex. It was a wish that I held in my heart for you. Dear Alex to stick by you like that. He has told Margie that he is in love and that you would have liked her and have been happy for him. I am just thankful to our dear Lord that He gave you such a good, wonderful man. The soul mate that you had searched so long for and finally found. You know that old ,over used phrase..WHAT A GODSEND!...well, it is the perfect description of what the family thought of Alex. Too bad he never became our brother-in-law...but he will always be our brother-in-heart. What are you thinking? Love, Susie

I was just thinking of you sister, my flowers are blooming. I know how much you loved your flowers.I saw a beautiful butterfly yesterday and I had to stop my weeding and look at it. All my thoughts were of you, I kept thinking wow maybe thats a message from Michelle.I am crying," its been a while,"

I know you are proud of me, but I guess a tear here and there are ok right Michelle. I love and miss you.Please pray for our family and keep us ALL close to your heart.

Happy Birthday, Michele. I wrote to you the other day; but it would not go through and now I do not feel like writing what I said. Instead, I will just say that I miss you. Love, Susie

I was dreading the time when I was to say happy birthday and happy mothers day to you. Gosh Michele ,I do miss you so. I was told that there are many many flowers on your grave, you were loved so much. We are finially getting together on Tuesday and I look so forward to our "Michele day", as I look forward to seeing some of your friends,I also know that as we toast to you THAT you are there in spirit with us. I bet you didn't think that all the girls would get together with Mom at BINGO, as I laugh, I still can't believe it my self, I felt so proud to be there as a family, as I know that you would have been so proud too. .I love you with all my heart sister, and I ask that again you walk beside our Nate as he is still over seas and bring him home to us safely.
