Hi Michael, it’s been a while son, but you are always on my mind! Grandma Lopez passed away Jan 9th.. she was 98 years old Mike, she had a good life, but I miss her so much.. didn’t think it would be this hard, but, damn Mike it hurts like hell!
Grandma’s belief is that she is resting for now, but if she’s there with you now...show her around
Love and miss you so much

Dear daddy and robbie,
Its hard to write about people i bearly remenber but i love and miss you two sooooooo much. And now you have grandma too i know she was ready to leave us to be with you she missed you sooo much. And robbie its been exactly 5 years since i last saw you and its breaking my heart you were like my dad after dad died i wish i could just hug you all one last time. I still dont know how i am gonna grow up without you but i know you are always with me. I will never know why you had to leave me and mikey and mom but i know everything happens for a reason. I bet you are riding the fastest dirtbike ever on the best track with uncle tony. I remenber the day dad died i didnt hug him because i was a big girl but i regret it everyday. Mom was really upset today and i cant fall asleep i just keep crying. I miss you all soooooooooo much. Mikey is doing good. He tried wrestling but they put him in a slinglet and he quit haha. I no he misses you but he wont show it. Mom has a new boyfriend, john, he is nice and mom said you sent him but its hard because i dont want him to ever replace you, which he never will dont worry. And robbie i still haave all your friends to be a brother to me like you. And i hope thats what you wanted. I still do cheer but now i do allstar cheer at gravity you would love to go to a competition really you robbie...... Just kidding. But i really like it. I remenber all the momories we had. Like dirtbiking and crashing in to fences haha. And quading and napping in robbies bed. Mikey still likes to dirtbike but i feel so bad because there is no one to take him and they will take his bike away if he goes on the road one more time. Robbie we always look for the tree house at grandmas but it was knocked down by hurricane irene. All the wood is still there. You two would love connor danielles son. And john her other son looks just like you robbie. Connor always asks about you and i never know what to say. Connor is sooo cute and funny you would love him. Danielle misses you. We all do. I could go on forever but i have to go to school tomorrow. Take care of grandma.

We love and miss you all more than the universe!!!!!
P.S its 2 am i should try to sleep love you always

The weather starting to warm up and i was in my garage getten the bike ready and realized how much i miss you.The unconditional friendship we shared through out the years is gone and can never be replaced.Often i think of you and wonder how much trouble your causing up there and i know you have to be proud of how i've gotten my life together.Being a dad is what i was ment to be.Steven & Jonathan are getting so big and so smart,they ask of Mickey and Alexa and i don't know what to say.I'm so sorry for not being part of their lives i don't know my place in it and that makes me so sad.If you could show me my place in their lives i would be very greatful. I know you have a ringside seat in my life and sometimes i could swear your right next to me. You know i talk to you often but lately i'm haven trouble hearing you so SPEAK UP. Gone but always with me
your friend to the end
Dave


P.S. I'll be rippin the blue trail this weekend if your not to busy help me break 1:22

Hey mike, its your sister. I havent written in a while but that doesnt mean you havent been on my mind. This weekend some really good friends of me & bennys lost their 14 yr old son in a dirt bike accident. He was racing did a jump,lost control & the bike came down on top of him. It made me think of you & mikey. His name is Brandon if you can check in on him, i am sure you guys will talk for hours. I love you so much & miss you even more! Your little sister

Mike- And now you have Robbie. I'm sure there was big things happening in Heaven last weekend when Robbie got there, but I'm not sure what. I still can't figure out what this is all about and why this is all happening, but I know that someday you'll be able to explain it to me. Take care of our boy- I know he's happy to be with you, and bring him with you when you come visit. I love you- Tracey

Hey Mike-
Keith & I were just thinking about you tonight. You probably know that though. I know this is going to be another tough holiday for Tray and the kids, without you. But, like you know & she has said, they are beautiful children and two kids to be very proud of. I just want you to know that you are never forgotten and always in our hearts.
Love,
Christa & Keith

tracey glander

October 20, 2007

Hey baby! It's been a while and why I chose tonight I don't really know. I guess my defnenses are down- these kids are running me, but I always do better busy, you know that. Sad thing is I've actually succeeded in doing what you feared the most- I've created two that are just like me- "what are we doing now, next week, next month". Mikey always on to the next thing before he's gotten through the first, some things will never change. I feel like you know all of this because you are watching us all day, everyday. You know the pain and suffering so why do I need to tell you that. No one will ever know how much I wish you were here so I could tell you how much I miss you. Everyday I think I wish he were here for this, just so we could laugh about it. Surprise, surprise I wish you were here to talk too, no longer my favorite past time- it's just no fun without someone making fun of you. These kids. How sorry I am that we can't sit and talk about the cool kids we have. That's one of the hardest parts of this crazy thing- I can't be the only one to watch them grow and love them this much, I need you to share this with. Mikey is growing up so quick. He loves fishing and is even reading how to fish books. He practices casting in the backyard- interesting concept- but it payed off because now he surfcasts. Still asks a thousand questions about everything and nothing- my all time favorite "Why do they have an Ireland bumper sticker on their car" about a car in a parking lot. I thought exactly what you would have- how would I know and why would you care. No more whining- ever, and rarely carries on about anything, he just seems to roll with the punches now. Life has broken him, but he's hangin in there. I could go on for hours about him and how proud you would be, but I hold the hope that you are seeing it all and hear me when I talk to you in my head and sometimes out loud- in private. But seriously- you would be so proud. Likes school and wants to do good so he is voluntarily going to extra help at 7:30 am, loves football and hasn't complained about going to practice once and when allowed to miss- chooses to go. Not our kid!!! Really- I don't know what I would do without him. He is big and strong like an ox and can fix anything. He doesn't mind helping if he's not to busy building a bike or bunker. And Alexa- what can I say- she only gets better with age. She can't really find a place for all of this. She's still not really sure how this is going to go without you- alot more like me than I can handle. She's always right, and that's a good thing because she still can not stand to be told that she has done something wrong. She's wise beyond her years and is probably one of the only people who can, and will, put me in my place. Beautiful- words do not cover your daughter. Tall- all legs and she's growing her hair again. Much like you she sees no reason to have long hair and put it up so it looks short, so she wears it down everyday. Her Communion is coming up. We went dress shopping and she picked out the most beautiful dress. She looks like a princess. She thinks she wants to wear her hair down-just like you would have wanted her to, and the party must be at the Jon Thomas or she wants it at Dave and Busters. She found a way to have you there with us that day. Don't know how I'll get through that day, but than again I don't know how I get through alot of them. Alexa played soccer this spring and loved it. Cheering again- loves it. She is so committed to everything she does. She's such a sweet kid, but so sad-I don't think she'll ever get over losing you- the person she loved most in the world. You would really be so proud of both of them- they take great care of me. Alot has happened- you have Tony now, but you know that. I quit smoking- the kids broke me down. We've come along way in our new normal, but it's still unbearable most of the time. I know why I get up everyday, but I don't much want to. I wait for the day that we are together again, but I cherish every minute I spend with our kids because I know that's what you miss the most and some how I feel like it makes your time in Heaven more bearable. I promised you that they would be okay and I try really hard to make you proud of them and me. Nothing will ever be the same without you, but again you know that. I love you more everday and I wish we had more time. Your wife forever- Tracey

A year has gone, the pain remains,
What shall all of us do?
Forget the truth, call it lie,
Defy that which is true?
It’s hard to see through jaded eyes,
How this was GOD’S great plan.
If it was, I want to know, why not another man?
I’ll tell you why, you may not know, GOD only takes the best.
He called our friend and said to him, it’s time to come to rest.
This can’t be it, there must be more, I’m sure you all will say.
Why did this happen to our friend, why did he go away?
He never left, he’s in our hearts, that’s where he will remain.
I hope you don’t forget my friends, “the song remains the same.”

Hey Mike
Yesturday was your birthday, it wasn't such a great day. Me, Sierra & Brianna went & got some balloons & they wrote messages to you on them, then we let them go. Anthony was still asleep, I swear the way we yell at him about being lazy it feels like I am little again listening to mom & dad yell at Dean. (HAHA Dean if you are reading this) but he turned out great, so there is some hope for Ant! I miss you so much Mike!!
I will love you forever!! Until we see each other again xxooxxoo

Happy Birthday Michael
I'm here with your mom, and I am so happy to be here to toast your life. Alexa and Mikey are with us and we are going to Jon Thomas Inn, your favorite restaurant. Your children are beautiful and I know you would be so proud of them. I miss you and love you. Watch over us and keep us safe.

Hi Michael its Mom, although I talk to you every night, this night I had to put it on paper. As usual I said my prayers, and at the end as usual I told you how much I miss you and the tears would not stop, so here I am at 12:30 to try and put my feelings into words. Tomorrow it will be your 39th birthday and on that night 1 year ago, as you lay your head in my lap, as we were bringing you back from the E.R. you put your arm around my neck, and with such a strong and loving voice you said "I Love You Mom, more than the Universe" and as John and I put you to bed and you held our hands and said "I love you guys so much" I marvel at your strength Michael, as I now look back and I know you must have felt it was going to be your last night with us, for you never opened those beautiful blue eyes ever again, But my beautiful boy you will live forever in our hearts through all the wonderful memories, and Mike there are so many. You were a very special son, your father and I are so proud of you.
As a brother you are so loved and you are so missed. I see the three of you, You and Dean with Jennifer holding your hands running, swinging her in the middle and her laughing and not wanting to let go.
As a friend, well I saw the love they truly feel for you, I will say it again, you were one of a kind.
As a father your children adored you, and you were so proud of both of them.
As a husband, well we know from Tracey's entries that she loves you very much.
It has been a rough year Michael, but I know you are with the Lord, and you are happy and pain free. It is us here that are in such pain, and the hurt doesn't seem to get any easier, but it does help to talk to you.
Michael I love you so much, and we will be together again, and until that day comes, you will always be forever alive in my heart.
I will for now think of you as my beautiful blue eyed angel.
Goodnight my sweet boy.
Mom

Dear Mike- Since you died I don't really dream or atleast I don't remember it when I wake up. A couple of weeks ago I realized that I'm afraid to dream. So now I spend my days afraid to live without you and my nights afraid to dream about you for fear that I won't want to wake up. Every night before I go to bed I pray to have a dream and hope that you'll be in it in some way. Well- last night I dreamed about you. You were sick and in the hospital and I was stuck somewhere very far away. All I thought about today was how horrible it made me feel to know that you needed me and I couldn't be there for you. Weird because I walk through each day needing you and you can't be there for me. Today I needed you alot. Alexa is a Brownie now and tonight was her badge ceremony. I could hear you calling her "your little Brownie" so I sat there and cried. I just suck the fun out of everything. These poor kids definitely got left with the wrong parent. I wish that I could say it gets easier, but it doesn't. Not a second goes by that I don't think about you and how I'm going to do this without you. I'm not so sure that I can or want to, but I know that I have to. Michael Ferriolo died today. That's four people that we knew who have died since you did. I'm not so sure why God needs all of you in Heaven when we all need you so much down here. There is really no justice in death- God gets everything and we get nothing. It really just isn't fair. Another woman a widow and two more kids fatherless. I know what they are going through and it kills me all over again. Tonight I'll pray again to dream and for you to be in it because I need you! I love you more than the universe always and forever- Tracey

Dear Mike,
Friday was our 20th reunion, and it just wasn't the same without you there, although I know that you were there in spirit you were surely missed. We held a moment of silence in your honor, and there were definatly teary eyes in the room, I know that I was one of them. It was a pleasure having you be a part of my life throughout school and we will all always miss you.
Your friend,
Lori Caputo

Tracey Glander

November 24, 2006

Dear Mike- I too, like your sister hope that you're looking down able to read every word that we write. Beleive it or not it's actually too painful for me to talk to people. I bet you never thought that that would happen- you've actually rendered me speechless- or at a minimum so numb that talking is painful, my favorite thing to do. Tonight is your twenty year reunion. I feel so bad for all of the people who are going to find out tonight that you-such a great person- is no longer here. I wish in life you knew how loved and respected you were. You had such great character and will always be the strongest person I know. If you could only know how many people you touched you would never have tortured yourself so much. Thanksgiving was tough-not much to be thankful for this year, but I did exactly what you would have wanted me to do. Me and the kids went to the cemetery with your Grandmother and then to your Dad's. It's been really tough for her, but you know how much you meant to her. Although breathing was painful- I was strong and noone even saw me cry. Our headstone came in today and it is beautiful. Your car never looked so good! The kids were so excited. Your son is truly growing up. I know you are watching down from heaven and are beaming with pride. He takes good care of me and his sister, just like you did and would want him to do. He writes to you in his journal every night. Last night he actually ended it with "you better be reading this". As usual their teachers had nothing bad to say at their conferences. Mikey's teacher is so in awe of him and how he is handling everything. Obviously Alexa's teacher thinks she's great- because everyone does and she is. I hope you can see how magical she is because it's all you. Your unconditional love is what gets her through each day. In the short time you had with her you managed to instill in her just exactly how wonderful, perfect, and loved she is. Trust me- I'll always keep her on her pedestal and I'll never let her forget how much you loved her- not that I could if I tried. She feels you with her all of the time and finds a way to turn everything into a positive. Rainy days-which are my worse- are not so bad anymore because Alexa told me if you look really hard at the raindrops you might find one that looks like Daddy and if you don't you might get lucky and one will fall on the floor and you can make a picture of Daddy's face- "and that's what I do mommy". Your daughter is truly an inspiration and I look to her on my worse days because she has the wisdom of a one hundred year old woman. And again that's all you. Thank you again for blessing me with my angels that carry me through the day. I think I'm going to write that book that you wanted me too. I'm just trying to figure out what to write about- remember you were supposed to tell me. As weird as it is I think you are telling me- I'm just not getting the message yet- but I will. Gone but not forgotten- until we meet again. I love you more than the universe- always and forever. Tracey

Hey Mike, its your little sister. I'm just sitting here thinking that this time last year I was getting ready for you guys to come here. I had no idea this was going to be this hard. It seems like it is getting harder not easier. I have a hard time understanding that you are in a place that I cant get to you by phone or even internet. I find myself avoiding people & just really not wanting to deal with anyone. I dont know why I'm writing this, I think maybe you will be looking down at the words I am writing and maybe it will help me a little, becouse I am not one to sit around & talk about my feelings to anyone. I do feel extremly blessed that I had the chance to say everything that I wanted you to know becouse we knew time was limited and that we did get close again (all night text messages, some of them i would rather forget)
I love you more then you will ever know, and you & dean were the best big brothers anyone could ask for!

I love you forever (give our grandpas a kiss for me!)

Many are called, but few are chosen, I’m sure I’ve heard them say;
Here today, gone tomorrow, these words I hate to say;
Reality hits, we must accept, the fact that you are gone;
This pain so real, won’t go away, why can’t you just come home;
It ain’t the same without you friend, and it will never be;
Just ask your wife, your kids, your friends, who miss you desperately;
It can’t be true, just pinch me please, that is what we say;
In hope that this is just a dream that soon will end today;
Reality hits again my friend, right between the eyes;
It’s true, your gone, life’s so unfair, these feelings I despise;
Tomorrow comes, but you’re not here, much to our dismay,
If we could wish you back to Earth, you would be here today;
Reality hits, we must realize, you’re in a better place,
The pain is gone, the Angels sing, you’re now in God’s embrace;
We miss you friend, we always will, right until the end,
Reality hits, what shall I do? This message I will send.

Arline,

I am so sorry to hear about the lose of your son. That is one of the hardest things for a parent to lose a child. My sympathies and you and your family are in my prayers. No words can express how to console a person at times like this, so will just pray for you and your family. God Bless you and yours.

Dear Mike- I realized today that I'm still waiting for you to come home. I'm taking care of everything so that when you come back, you can rest and have fun. It's amazing how your mind plays tricks on you. I'm crazy as ever, running all over the place, because if I sit I might think, or feel for that matter. The kids made out their Christmas lists today- Alexa asked for a few things from you because she is sure she is going to see you with Santa this year and you know she will. Mikey starts indoor lacrosse this week and he's psyched-believe it. Mikey gets more and more like you everyday-you would be so proud. He doesn't whine anymore and hardly ever cries for no reason anymore. Our headstone comes in this week. The kids helped pick it out so I know that you'll love it. Thank you for giving me two beautiful children before you left. If it weren't for them I don't know what I would do- they are my reason for waking up everyday. I feel you with me all the time and I get all of your signs, but I need you here physically. I don't know how I am going to do this without you. The hole in my heart gets bigger everyday not smaller. I know that we will be together again someday and I wait patiently. Until we meet again-I love you more than the universe-always and forever. Tracey

Tracey Glander

October 25, 2006

Dear Mike,
You said that you were sure that someone would have Newsday in Heaven, so I'm going to assume that one of your new friends has internet service. It's been almost three months and the pain gets worse everyday. There was no reason for you to have to leave us and I can not imagine how we are supposed to do this without you. The kids are about as good as you could expect. Mikey is afraid that he won't be able to find you in Heaven and Alexa talks to you everyday. The other morning she walked outside and asked you what shoes to wear and you answered her-she's amazing. She knows she will always be your princess and carries you in her heart. She is as cute and smart as ever and she came in first place in her first cheerleading competition. Mikey-just like you- has a harder time dealing with it all-he just misses you all day and wishes that he would have paid more attention to you so you could have taught him everything in the seven years he had you. He is doing great in football-his team is five and one. School is not an issue at all, he's reading above level and can finally spell. Math- he's still a wiz. I feel completly cheated and lost. We were supposed to be together forever and now we are not. How I am supposed to do this without you boggles my mind. Always know that I loved you and will never stop. I'll forever remember our last three months together and treasure every memory. Know that when I doubt that I can do this you are what gives me the strength that I need. You are always in our thoughts and we love you more than the universe-always and forever. Tracey, Mikey and Alexa
P.S. Mikey and Alexa send you balloons with messages, so grab any blue balloons you see. I love you!!!

It's been almost two months since we bid farwell friend and the reality still hasn't kicked in. There isn't a day that goes by when I don't think about you. I have a new son now, who I hoped and prayed you would have met. His name is Jake Thomas. Thomas is for you and he'll always be reminded so he knows who you are. We'll never stop missing you Mike and you will live on forever in our memories, which nobody can ever take away. Life seems so unfair but I guess it's true what they say. God only takes the best. I'll always look after Tracey, Mikey, and Lexa so don't you worry about a thing. You just keep riding those dirt bikes up there in heaven friend, and leave the rest of the worries to us. And thanks for all the good times. I'll never forget them.



Your friend,

Arline,, My prayers go out to you and your family. I pray that God gives you strenght to carry on. Remember it is ok to cry, that is how you get better. Now, Michael is with you at all times. Although you may not be able to touch or hold him right now his spirit will always be with you. Just keep your faith in God and He will strengthen you.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Arline- my heart goes out to you and your family. You have touched many lives so I know your son had the same traits as you. Your such a darling and enjoyable person to be around. Your my dear friend co worker and laughing buddy. Laughter is good medicine. Thanks for the fruit and snacks. However, I am leaving you with these words of encouragement "Know that God has a purpose for all things that happen in our lives good or bad. He chose your sweet son to be with Him in His kingdom and one day I too will see Mike and my loves who has passed. No more pain and hurt for your son. Yes we will cry but KNOW that God will heal all pain. Talk to God and let Him come in and comfort you. Invite God into your life and heart. To Michael's family who he left behind a loving wife and 2 wonderful kids "remember your husband and father is always watching over you now." When I pray for God to send me an angel to watch over me I hope its Michael. Arline and family I pray that God strengthen and comforts you in this time of need. I love you from the bottom of my heart. Joy comes in the morning. Stay bless.

Dear Family,

I am a co-worker of Ms Arline , I just don't want to called myself a co-worker ,I want to say friend. I was out of town when I heard Michael went home to be with our Lord and savior Jesus the Christ. My heart was sad, but then I remembered that the Lord would help us though .

When Ms Arline told us about what was going on the hold department was hurt. We hurt like a family because thatis what we are to Ms Arline. We the G-Unit and other co-workers went in prayer for the family. Every time Ms Arline was out we went in prayer. I want you to know Ms Arline that I love you and God loves you to. There is know problem that God cannot solve. It is Ok to cry , but we know we have hope in God. When you think about Michael think about the good times you and the family had together, How he made you laugh . You do know that Michael lives on in the heart of his family , Because no one can take it away from you as long as you live Michael lives with you. So don't you stop living , don't you stop smiling. Keep on living.

Psalms 23 The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He make me lie down in green pastures he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul, He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death . I will fear no evil, for you are with me your rod and your staff they comfort me. you prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil my cup overflows . Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Call on the Lord and He will be there.

Mike-
You are truly a selfless man who has touched so many lives in so many different ways. I have an abundance of memories... from hanging out in the Chevy's parking lot with the gang in the 80's, to going to the beach with Tracey, Mikey, Alexa, and Alex last week, and everything in between for the last 20 years. Your door has always been open for me, no matter what. You will be forever in my heart. Love you & miss you...
