I look in the mirror and see your smile. I remember your laugh which I think of today. My heart goes through mixed feelings. I find myself wishing you were here to kick our feet up and crack some jokes, but at the same time I smile and know you are doing great things in heaven. I think about you all the time, and to this day you get me through the rough times. I love you. Always have and always will.

Nellie

I pray that God grants you and your family peace and strength to endure this tragic loss. You shared many precious stories about your son with me and I could tell that you two shared a special love that will live on forever in your heart. You raised a wonderful young man who will now be your angel in Heaven, smiling down on you everyday.

I will always remeber you as the kid in my nephews kindergarden class at Harrison and the one I would crack up with by Annie's house. May the Lord be with you and with all the people who lives you touched.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

"Easy," wassup man, I'm so sad to see you gone. I'm going to miss all of the good times and laughs we had with you on Drackert street. There will never be anyone like you. It hasn't really hit me that you're gone but I know that you are in a better place away from all the hate and drama that we encounter in life. May your spirit live on and you forever rest in peace. Luv always, Mika
