HAPPY BIRTHDAY IN HEAVEN
Even though God called you home over three years ago, the pain and loss still remain so deep. How we wish that you would walk through that front door once again. Our lives will never be the same without you. We miss your bright smile, your warm touch and wonderful sense of humor. The world lost a caring, sensitive, respectful young man on 9/11. Your whole family shares in that senseless loss. We love and miss you more each day and will never forget.
Love, Mommy, Daddy, Lauren and Rob, Kerri, Boppy and Jamie

HAPPY BIRTHDAY IN HEAVEN
Michael I just wanted to let you know that I love you with all my heart. This time of the year is extra hard for all the people who love you. This Sunday is your 29th birthday. It was the day you made your Daddy and I not only a couple but a family. I remember every moment of that day. I will never forget how happy I was holding you for the first time. I never thought I could love you more than I did at that moment but I do! I love you more and more with every moment that passes. Until we spend all our birthdays together again, know that you are forever in my broken heart. We will always be a part of each other. You will always be my Hero. I love you and miss you so.
Love, Mommy

HAPPY BIRTHDAY IN HEAVEN
How I wish that you were here on this your 29th birthday so that I could hug and kiss you but God had other plans. I now spend my days trying to understand why. You were my wonderful son who I treasured for 25 years. You were the son who most men only dream of and for that I am forever grateful. Although your birthday here on earth will be lonely without you. I know that you'll have 342 of your Hero friends to help blow your candles out. Watch down on me, I'll be looking up at the stars to see them go out. Till we are together again, know that I love & deeply miss you.
Love, Daddy

HAPPY BIRTHDAY IN HEAVEN
Little did we know when we awoke the pain that day would bring. The call was sudden, the shock severe to part with one we love so dear. You were gone before we knew it and only God knows why. For all of us you did your best now God please grant him eternal rest. Michael, you are, were and ALWAYS will be our hero. Thank you for being the best big brother we could have ever asked for. We will always remember to, like you, do our best and always "do the right thing". There will never be another brother like you. You will forever be in our hearts.
All our love,
Your Little Sisters, Lauren & Kerri

HAPPY BIRTHDAY IN HEAVEN
To my forever love
on your 29th birthday.
Dear Michael,
It's hard to believe that today is your fourth birthday in Heaven. My body and soul are still numb from tragically losing you on that horrible day. When you promised to spend the rest of your life with me, I thought we would grow old together. It's been a long and difficult road trying to accept my new way of life without you, one which I never could have imagined and I am still trying to figure out. My wish on your birthday is for you to watch over me and help me do the right thing everyday so that I can lead a life that will someday make you proud. You are forever a part of me and I will ALWAYS love you!
Jamie
