Mike,
I miss you more and more with each passing day. Life will never be the same without you here but I am so glad that you are in a place where there is no pain and you are in the arms of our Heavenly Father. I can't wait to see you again!
Love you always and forever!
Your big sister

Im sure that you are probably up there playing golf and making up for all the years that you missed playing jokes on Dad. Give Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Nita, Marlene, Uncle Robert. Max, and everyone else my love! See you soon!

Mike, Its Thanksgiving and its been 3 weeks since we lost you. Its so hard to believe that your not here. I know that God has his reasons for wanting you with him but that doesnt make it any easier. Even when you were so sick, the only thing thay you were worried about was, how is Alma going to get through this. I love, the love that you had for one another, with that is so rare! From the day you and Alma met, you changed. You smiled more, laughed more, and just seemed to love life more! Before you met her, you used to go to work and go home, but after she came into your life, you started to smile more, laugh more, and oh how you could brag about your wife! She was and is the love of your life! You finally got to be the family man that you had always wanted to be! Give my love to Mom and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa, Aunt Nita and Marlene, and I'm sure you know by now that Max also passed away just a short time before you, so make sure you tell him how special he was! I know that he couldn't speak in life, couldn't hear without a hearing aid, and walked with a Shuffle, but now he is whole again, so he can actually talk with you, and that in itself is amazing. I know he has a million things to tell everyone so listen carefully. We all love and miss you so very much and I promise you that as you wish, we will make sure that the love you had for Alma will live on forever through your kids, myself, Craig and Tina, and your grandchildren!
Until we meet again, my sweet brother, may you rest in peace!
Love you always and forever,
Your big sister,

My brother was an amazing man. He was loved by so many. Mike was a loving husband to Alma, loving father to Shanoa, Jessica, and Samantha, loving grandfather to his five grandchildren, and a brother would love nothing more then to play jokes on his brother and sister. He will be missed every single day! I love you Mike, and I'll see you soon.

We are so sorry for your loss Alma. Mikey was a great man. I will never forget how great he was with our son. He will be missed.
Love, Victoria, Haro, Mariah, Kiana and Papi
