My Son, it is hard to believe that you left us almost 3yrs. There is not a day that goes by that you are not with us, we all still look for you at 3:00 hoping you would come through the door with all your silly remarks. We all know that one day we will all meet again. Love you and miss you so very much... Mom,Dad

i wanted to reopen this so we could all remember you. Its crazy how much I think about you everyday & night. You have come to me in my dreams many times & I feel like its a sign that you are talkin to me. Everything I do or watch reminds me of us. Dragging our matress out into the living room to watch tv on our big screen & all the crazy stuff we did together. I'm gonna go see your mom & ellie & rylie in 2 weeks..we are gonna go through all the pics & i'm gonna let the kids have some. I will always have a place in my heart for you. I love you always.

Mikey, this is for you everyone's favorite of the best lookin guys around. We all miss you so much one day we will all be together again. Love your Family

June 14, 2010

Mikey, from day one I knew you were my brother and I your sister. Now all I do is fight back my tears. I wanted to do everything you did because I wanted to be just like you. Now I sit here wondering what to do,because there's no one to replace you. And you knew how I felt, especially how much I Loved you. I wish we could go back and start over again.I don't want to be alone. I need my brother,I need my best friend. When u think of me while your up in heaven,Think of how much you meant to me. Its sad that you left without saying goodbye, But just remember we all love you as you began to fly. I am so happy that you were always there for me. As I was for you. Mikey you were my brother and my best friend. I will always love you no matter how long its been,since your life came to an end. Your little sister Jean. Love you

June 5, 2010

My Son, when I carried you inside me I longed for a son,my prayers were answered my son,my one and only son. They laid you in my arms and I knew right away,That the love you and I would share,Would be wonderful and beyond compare. You were the image of your Dad So I knew you would be a handsome man, He was your idol when you were small. He was your hero and you were his all. You really were your Dads boy. The years flew by,I watched you grow from a little wee boy,to a man strong and tall There were many times when the things that you did left me weary and sad and wanting to cry.I despaired of you then but you turned your life round.You became the man of whom I am proud.Now you're a man with a boy of your own.You can feel the joy of loving a child, and how deep the love goes,Now you know how I feel when I look at you, My Son, My one and only one. How I miss you...Love you forever and ever... Mom and Dad.

Mom, Jean, Rachel

My Son Today is One of your favorite Days. So sadly you won't be here to do all your crazy and scarry things to the little trick or treaters, how bad we all hate the thought of not having you it makes it a whole lot worse today being it Halloween. We got your corner set up real sweet not as good as you do but not bad if we say so ourselves. We all know that you are watching over all of us,and knowing that helps us get through each day. It is just so hard for me to understand WHY YOU!!!!! Your life had just begun and so much to live for. It seems just like yesterday we were all down at your house lighting off those fireworks kids having so much fun Mikey,Ellie,and pyro Rylie. You were the greatest Dad and one hell of a special Uncle they loved you and still do so very much. We all just wish you could be here today to have another fun Halloween. Everything and anything today all goes out for you cause this is your day forever. One day we will all know what are plans are then I will be able to understand Why you were taken so soon. Until we meet again My Son you know how much you are truly missed. Cause you are really not gone.... Just gone ahead. Love u Dad,Mom,Chrissy,Jean,Mikey,Ellie,Rylie

My Son, its been a little over 3 months since you were taken away from all of us in such a tragic way. But we all have such great memories of you that is how we get through each day, you touched the lives of so many with your funny sense of humor and the crazy jokes you pulled is how everyone remembers you, I am proud to say that you are my son just wish I could of kept you alot longer than 29yrs, such a wonderful life that ended way to soon. How I miss so much hearing your son (mikey) yelling for you HEY DADDY. You were one great Dad. The two of you had such awesome relationship I never seen another one like what you two shared. We are starting grieving classes me and the girls cause we need help to get us through losing you. We all have so many happy memories of you and pictures so glad no one can take that away from us. I am so happy and proud to be your Mom and the girls were glad that you were their brother and friend. And I know Mikey is proud to of had you for a Dad, he will be a great Dad like you were to him. Sure going to be hard getting through Halloween without you we all have alot of great memories to hold on to and cherish of your halloween Partys you out did yourself. Love and miss you so much My Son. Dad, Mom, Chrissy,Jean,Mikey,Ellie,Rylie,Baby

Happy Birthday Mike. . .Big dirty 30 today. I bet if you were here, if it was your weekend or not, you woulda begged to have Mikey, and I would have let you. . You prob would have taken him out to dinner, and if there wasn't a concert, you guys would be going to Haunted Houses. I just dropped him off at your mom's house, and they are all going to CoCo Keys to celebrate your bday today. I told Mikey to try not to be sad, but to celebrate, and have fun and enjoy the day. Your life is to be celebrated now. You were an amazing dad, and Mikey just adored you, still does. I'm grateful that even though things didn't work out with us we were able to remain friends, and co-parent our child. He is my world, and it breaks my heart every day to see him in pain. But know that he has a lot of good days to, and though he'll never get over you, or move on he will be okay. He has a safe and loving home. . he has a baby sister on the way. Dennis is an amazing role model for him. I'm content in remembering what you said to me only weeks before you died, that you were happy things were going so well for us, & for all the good stuff going on for Mikey, and that you knew if anything happened that he would be taken care of. It's so ironic you said that. I know God has a plan, and we don't have to like it, we just have to accept it. You were always there for Mikey no matter what, & the two of you really amazed me. I hated only seeing my baby half the time the last couple years, but his happiness made it all worth it. I would give him up again half the time, if I could bring you back to him. My heart hurts for him, but I know you’re watching over us. . .He is playing football now, & he likes it, it keeps him busy. He's having some trouble in school, and some behavioral stuff but that's to be expected. I'm getting him the help he needs, and he'll make it through. It's going to be a long hard road, but he has plenty of people down here who love him. I'm grateful for the time you guys had, and for all the memories, he'll never forget.

Love Mikey's mom- Samantha

My Son it has been almost 2months since you left us, our days have their ups and downs and it is so hard to carry on without you. I know that you are in a better place but I was not ready to have you gone so soon. I Love you dearly and wish that I could have you back just for a little longer. I miss the 3:00 afternoon visits so much I would give anything to have that back with your funny laughter. And I promised that you will not be a cold case file you were my one and only SON that I loved so dearly.. MOM

Hey Mikey, you made me always feel welcome to places i've never been before, you could always make me laugh constantly about random BS. Within the short time I knew you, you earned my respect as well as my devoted friendship. I'm sorry I didn't make it to give you your last hoorah, but to be all truthful, i liked to think that you and Brandon were like brothers to me from the immediate beginning. You shall live on with the memories we have had and with utter most support from your friends and loved ones. We will always love you Mikey and I will forever miss you my friend. Just do me one favor dude, Say Hi to Jimi for me

Brothers for Life,

Reply to "Letter from Heaven"

My Dearest Loved one:

I received your Letter from Heaven,

It made the teardrops fall.

But knowing you’re with God above,

Sweet memories, I will recall.

I know that you are with me,

For I feel your presence near.

And if I listen closely,

Your voice I then can hear.

I know you’re watching o’er me,

As you promised you would do.

And when I feel so saddened,

It’s your letter that sees me through.

When I lay in bed at night,

The day’s chores put to flight,

I truly feel your presence,

Like a warm and glowing light.

The rocky roads you mentioned,

And the hills that I must climb;

I’ve done exactly what you said,

By taking one day at a time.

I’ve tried to help others,

Who are in sorrow and in pain.

And now I am contented,

My day was not in vain.

I’ll lend a hand, as you have said

When someone is feeling low.

I’ll pray for them and be here,

‘Till on their way they go.

And when it’s time for me to go,

To join you in heaven high.

My wings I shall spread wide,

To my home up in the sky.

Love you forever My Son.. MOM & DAD

July 12, 2009

It's been a long time since I have talked to Mike, but I'll never forget when he showed me his dad's GTO in the garage and put a big dent in the hood because he couldn't get it shut. This is just one of many memories I hold dear to my heart. You'll never be forgotten and will always be missed. God bless.

To the McAdams Family. I was saddened to hear of your loss. I know Mike was a great outdoorsman and loved to fish. I remember him as a young boy building his little hideout in the trees across from my house and walking from grandmas house to fish on the lake by my place. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

NIKKI INCONTRO

July 7, 2009

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.
