Dear Mike,
You visited me in a dream again last night as you do every once in a while. You were rock climbing this time, kind and reserved as always. Brown suede shoes stacked next to some skating kicks on your couch.
I think of you, the Sweetlands, and the Lowrees often-along with carefree PLO summers.
Gone too soon, but never forgotten. Who knows how many others´ lives you´ve touched in your 28 years.
May the heavens and earth continue honoring your beautiful soul and may your incredible family keep the memory of your smile alive and vibrant, exactly as I remember you.
-Charly

Another summer in the Point. It's still difficult to be on the beach without you. I walk now at times when its empty and pray you are walking with me.

I guess I can't stop thinking of you. I miss watching survivor with you. I think of you all the time. I am so thankful to have met you. I still see your eyes when you picked me up and our goodbye. I still have the camera you gave me, the one you took to Southamerica a few years back. I always keep it near me, everywhere I go. I miss your clean hands, or your cooking. Sleeping on an air mattress, your flag. I still remember you as if I just saw you yesterday. Hope one day I see you again and tell you thank you, for putting me in a path of peace and happiness. Youre going to be my forever blessing.

I will see you again, in the fullness of time,
You will reach out your hand,
I will take it in mine,
As together we walk,
all the sorrow filled years
will dissolve as a cloud,
in the midst of our tears.
I will see you again, we will laugh as before,
I will kiss your dear face,
as I pass through the door,
to a place where you are
and a bright shining sun
will assure my glad heart
that my life has begun.
I will see you again,
though the journey be long
I will try for your sake,
to sing my own song,
and, for you, I'll endeavor
to live through my pain,
till the moment, dear child,
when I see you again.

I love you so Michael. I miss you with every breath I take. I will see you again...I wait for that day.
your mom always and ever

“Strange is our situation here upon earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to a divine purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: That we are here for the sake of others...for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day, I realize how much my outer and inner life is built upon the labors of people, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received.”
Albert Einstein
You've done more than you can imagine. Having known you will save my life.

Sand between your toes, salt water in your hair, a bright smile and beloved friend, loved by many. Mike, you leave a trail of tears and cherished memories. Love to your family at this difficult time as we share in their great sorrow. We will forever hold you in our hearts.
