My Dearest Mikey:
It was a year, yesterday, since I found the "I LOVE YOU" note on the fridge and you never got to come home to me. I will never forget our love. Until we meet again, my love. Rest in Peace Michael

It has been a year since you left us. Chansee and Tara still miss you terribly. Hopefully they will eventually find the strength to move on. All of us whose life you touched will think of you because you played such a significant part in all our lives. You will not be forgotten - until we meet again.

To my best Friend and Companion:
I love you more today than when we first met, but not as much as I will love you tomorrow.
"So take your place here next to me and I'll take my place next to thee and no matter how far we may roam it's by your side I make my home.
I give to you my everything, you've given me your loving wings and Angels have all gathered round to hear me sing my love out loud."
This was what we carried in our wallets and I found it today.
It has been almost 8 months and I love you!! POOH

My Dearest Michael: It has been a long 6 months. You are so missed here on this earth by Tara, me and your family, especially your Mom. Our hearts ache everyday without you. The only things we have are our wonderful memories of you and comforting each other in our mourning. Tara has your ashes now and it will not be long until you are finally in your final resting place. Be at peace my love as someday we will be there with you. As always, all my love forever, Pooh

Chansee: Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Michael was almost larger than life itself with that great smile and wonderful sense of humor. Remember him with joy, not sorrow. Each day you shared was a gift. A dear friend sent the following to me:
The clock of like is wound but once
And no man has the power
To tell just when the hands will stop,
At late or early hour.
Now is the only time you own.
Live, love, toil with a will.
Place no faith in time.
For the clock may soon be still.
(a lesson for us all).........
