Finding hope... It's been there all along, misplaced or perhaps moved from where you thought you left it . In our struggle to get though it all, on a day by day by day routine. Something breaks, you come across it in an unlikely manor . Everything seemed to fall into place, no red lights , got there on time. No traffic to hold me up. And hearing birds sing when it was 31 degrees out side. It all fell into place. And somehow I knew you was there. I love you Mike..............

Getting cold now but had one of the best fishing seasons ever never went alone always with family best luck we had was at the boat launch in Pawtucket you know the one where we first launched our 12ft skiff ,,,,man we did not know what we was doing,,,,500 pounds in a 300 pound cap boat made out of alluminum with a 9 hp motor. It should have went strait to the bottom but held up just fine. I can't look over the bay or start a backyard fire with the kids without thinking of you. I miss hanging with u your wrist dance still lives on today your taste for the great music that once had meaning is still playing on the station I keep on in my truck. Sometimes I here a song and smile and do the wrist dance myself. You are deeply missed but you are never forgotten.

Mike,
I know that we all miss your smiling face and the truck pulling up in front to hear the new stories of your days events. You were always there for all of us and especially for Ray he has taken it harder as he can't believe the God he believed in could do such a hurtful thing to such a good man now his Grandfather is with you now as that also has cut him to the core. I know he isworried about loosing his dad or others he loves, I hope he listens when you speak to him and guide him in the right direction and help him deal with the anger of loosing such an important friend-
May our prayers for you and your loved ones help your family know you are with them this holiday season as they miss you deeply.

It has not been easy here and can not wait till the day I am resting with you, give me strength to bear with all of this, happiness is so far gone it is lost. I smile the smile and walk the walk but, my heart is lonely, my life is lonely my exsistance minut. Just needed someone to listen to my heart breaking, my tears falling and my empty soul.

I didn't know exactly what to write today but, you are always in my thoughts. Kelsy dyed her hair back to blonde but, still not doing well in school. Joshua wants to dye his hair back to blonde is doing not so great in school either. Michael is trying to get into the army, soon he will take the test again. Baby and Buddy are doing ok, whiskers and tiskers are still keeping the house warm. I dropped out of school I don't know if I had told you already. It has not been easy without you, sometimes I feel like I have lost control of our family of our life, I don't know what I am doing if it is right or wrong but, I am trying to do the best I can and it doesn't seem to be working. I am not as strong of a person as you were please guide me through this. I don't know if this single parent thing is working I feel I am not guiding our children in the right direction and you know you were the one that always disciplined them, maybe I am to soft and easy going but, how do I become strong when I know I am not. I have no more strength but, each day I do try. I want you to be proud of Michael, Kelsy and Joshua I just don't know if I am being the kind of mother they need. It is so hard and we miss you so, we talk about you all the time and you are always in our thoughts and in our hearts, it has not been easy and I know, no one said it was going to be. We just miss you so, your strength your wisdom your laughter, your guidence. We miss you so much!!! All of our Love, Sally, Michael, Kelsy and Joshua. Help guide us

My son it has been awhile since I have been on your memory book. I don't have to go on this to let you know how much I love and miss you so. Your picture is in every room of this house. I talk to your pictures and I know you can hear me, also your picture is on my cell. Every time I open my billfold there you are but I do not have to tell you these things because you already know. You are with me every day. There are days when I am upset and I can here you say don't cry Mommy. There are days I cry because I miss you so and I can hear you say don't cry Mommy I am happy. I can undersstand this because life is so hard here on earth. Not to long from now my son you will put your hand out for mine once again and you will say Mommy dance with me. I will take your hand and we will dance forever and ever in paradise. I love you so much Michael.
Alfred and Brianna will be having their baby in June,he will be named after you. I know I will cry when they put him in my arms for once again it will seem like you being born all over again. I know you will be there in spirit with a smile on your face and you will know I will be crying a happy cry and for once you will not say don't cry Mommy.

I did not know what to say to you on the day, nov. 18th. I am so lonely without you, my life our life, our family life will never be the same. It still hurts so much, the holidays are here and I remember trying to hide the presents from the kids, then you video taping it and getting caught as the kids watched the video. No words can express the emptiness inside me, I am trying to move on but, in the wrong direction. You where my angel and guided me, you was my life. I feel like this is still a dream that I can not wake up from, I want you to come home, come home Mike. This hurts to much,I put the smile on and tell everyone I am ok, I am not and sometimes can not even admit that to myself. I know I have to try, what is that? Why can't I just lay in bed and think of our life becuase, time will not let me. I miss you so much, why, why why?

Mike, I don't know exactly what to say but, feel I should let you know that you are thought of. I started nursing school and I will succeed, Michael had his 3rd surgery on his knee and is doing quite well. Kelsy is now attending tolman and Josh is now at alp. There have been many changes as there would be in this life changing situation. Trying to make the best of what life has to offer. I pray that you are happy and at peace, I think of you often and many times I sit in front of this computer and do not know what to say. I miss and will always love you but, I hope that you know this. I get mad sometimes still at you, I cry and sometimes just mello in my own thoughts of you. You still are in them even though I have not been in touch. It will be ten months tomorrow, silence thoughts. Love you and miss you Sally

MY PRECIOUS SON MICHAEL
Tomarrow will be one month since we put your ashes into the ocean. I heald your ashes as we drove to Colt State Park. It was the hardest thing to do,for I knew I would have to let you go. Your wife and children,your brothers and sisters,your nieces and nephews all took turns putting some of your ashes and a white rose into the water. One after the other the roses followed each other, they went toward the shore and then they all turned out to the sea. This is where you wanted to be. Shannon bought me the most beautiful heart that holds some of your ashes. It makes me feel good to know I still have part of you close to my heart. Someday my son,Someday, we will all be together again. Until that day I will still feel sad and I will still cry for I miss you so much. My love for you is undescribable. So every time I go to the ocean I know you will be near. I will listen to the breeze and your voice I might hear saying don't cry mommy. You have said that so many times before. I love you Michael.

My dearest brother Mike,
Today was a day of mixed emotions
as we spread your ashes into the ocean
We spred the ashes at Colt State park
The whole family was there standing on the dock
Daddy and Denny said some prayers
and as we all listened we shed our tears
Brandon said some things that came from his heart
That boy was amazing, he's so very smart
Sarah did a project from her arts and crafts
She made you a beautiful memorial raft
And with the raft she left a note
she put it in the ocean as we all watched it float
Even though we were all feeling blue
We still sang Happy birthday to you
Though we can only take things day by day
For you my brother I will always pray
I miss you more than you will know
but God decided it was your time to go
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE, I LOVE YOU
LOVE SISTER GINGER

It is going to be your birthday in two days and this is the day we will celebrate your life and death. It will not be an easy day for any of us, as you are always in our thoughts. I do not know if I can do this, but I know it is what you wish. I hope that you are with us on this day we all need you near, for strength and love. I can't do this anymore I try to go on and can't, I try to be happy but I am not. You were my life, my love and all that I have ever known I can't do this! I miss you so, I hurt for you so. The kids miss and love you so, your life inpacted so many people, they loved you, admired you and looked up to you. Now we look to the heavens at you, look down upon us and help us through this, I need your help. I will always love you, it is not good bye but I feel though it is. I know it will never be good bye, you will always be in my heart and soul. ALWAYS!! I can't let you go, I know that I should but you are a part of me. Losing you, I lost myself.

They say you never realize what you have until it is gone, this is true! I miss the way you used to play with the kids and try to teach them how to dance. I miss the good-byes in the morning and the I love you throughout the day. I miss your smile and you flexing to show off your muscles. I miss hearing your truck pull up in the drive way after you worked hard all day. I miss our nights out, just you and me, also those when we were out as a family. I miss the way you use to laugh when your brothers and you stayed out in the back yard all night. You seemed so happy, I miss your embrace when I needed it. I need your embrace now! I need to hear your laughter, I need to see you smile, I want you to tell me that you love me and you miss me too. My life is so lonely without you please guide me in the right direction. I miss your love, I miss you!!!

To loose a child is to loose a piece of yourself.
I miss you so very much my son. I watched the movie you watched over and over and I can understand why you liked it so very much. I cried through the whole movie. They say when you loose someone you love as time goes on it will get easier. That is not true. I know I will hurt like this for the rest of my life
Spent the day yesterday with Sally, Traci and Dad going through your things. Michael what were you thinking? What a colection you had. When we were getting rid of some of your things we heard a big bang of thunder and Traci said oh Mike is pissed. we all laughed. We were prety much finished and it started to pour rain. I said Michael is crying and this time no one laughed. There was silence.
Kelcy and Josuah were really sick bad so Sally took them over to the emergency room. The have a bug. They are feeling better today.
Michael you probally know all these things but it just makes me feel that you are close to us. We love you so very much. I have things to do so I will get back to you real soon.

Hello my husband, I wanted to let you know that I am trying to be strong and keep a smile on my face as each day passes, but yesterday I could not pull it through. My thoughts were of you, I miss you dearly and so do the kids. Kelsy and I cried and comforted each other with each tear that we had shed, each tear was with you, your love and smile inside. I continue trying to be strong and made some mistakes along this path that has been chosen but with your strength I will not make them again becuase this was not the wife or mother that our children know. I got weak and I need to be strong just some days I can not be strong, help me Mike. We miss and Love you so much. Your family

I kept Michael's memory book on for one more year
I know we all still care
Five minutes is all it would take
To type in some words for Michael's sake
It has only been five short months since Michael has been gone
And even I have not been on like I should be and that is wrong
So type a short note to show that you care
And always keep Michael in your heart so near
Sally and I seem to be the only ones that still type
So take a minute and jot a note for Mike
Michael's ashes are still near
And soon we will have to let them go and we will again shed a tear
So if something comes to your mind
Go to your computor and a note you will sign
MIchael we love and miss you so very much

Mike you would be so proud of our family. Michael is going to ask Lauren to marry him, you won't be here in body but, you will be in mind and heart. You are not going to see your grandchildren(when we do have them) He would of liked your blessing. Life is not the same without you here, Love you

Hi sweetie
It was so hard cleaning out your truck until we seen what was in there. We cried and we laughed. You had something for everything plus things that we could not figure out what they were for. I felt like I was at a flea market or maybe putting my hand in a grab bag. Yeah, we heard you saying "don't throw anything away you might need that some day". You definately were a pack rat. Gee I wonder who you took after?
Does this sound familiar? Don't throw that away, its going to be worth MONEY some day. I plead guilty. SMILE. Miss you and your crazy ways. I know your spirit is with the lord and he has appointed you to be the guardian angel for this family.
Mike this family loves you so very much. We will all be together again some day.
I carried you under my heart for nine months and all I have to do is put my hand on my heart and I know that you are there.
I changed my screen name to RESCUE DIVER 12 just like your jacket that I have says. I added the 12 for for you and the 11 of your brothers and sisters. Luv ya
Miss ya much

Thinking about you today yesterday was four months since you left us and the 22nd would of had been 29yrs, of us dating. I miss you so and think of you every day. The other day your mom and dad, jason and joey and I had to clean out your truck that was very hard to do. Even harder was the next day watching your truck leave our drive way and drive off into the distance. Knowing that, that was a big part of you hurt me so to see it go. I still wait for you to come home and I probably will always wait for you when I lost you, I lost me. I love you and miss you so, Happy Anniversary waiting for you. Sallly

My son it has been 3 months 8 days 11 hours and 17 minutes since God called you home. Every second of the day it hurts more and more. Mike I would give my life if only God would let you come home to your family. We all love and miss you so very much. Sally and the kids hurt more and more every day. Michael there is no word to explain the pain.
When you see me coming to be with you, hold out your hand so I can put my hand in yours and we will dance again. I love you so very much. Tell your little brother Scott that we love him more than words can say.

Hi mike thinking about you today like every day, when god had said it was your time to go he gave us no warning. He has you in his arms holding you and keeping you warm. I was not ready to let god take over what I still needed to do for you. My heart hurts like never before, I will never hear you call me "mommy, I love you," anymore. I will never feel your lips touching mine or your arms embracing me. You will always be in my thoughts and in my heart, you and I shall meet again until then I will miss you more than you will ever know. I do not know why this has happened, in a way I do and I am sorry for your pain, I LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH. Sally

When does the emptiness go away?
When does my heart stop hurting?
When do these tears I cry stop?
When do I stop thinking of you every minute of the day?
I am missing a piece of me that can never be replaced and that is why these emotions will never.never stop.
Nothing hurts more than losing a child. I will never stop hurting.
I love you and miss you so much.

Dearest husband thinking of you today as I always do I wrote a poem. Missing You . Something lurks in the sky,with the feeling of closeness near by. I went to open my window to feel the breeze in the air when a gush of wind came in blowing through my hair. As the warm wind blew by me, I could only think of you. The touch of your strong arms embracing me, was only to set me free of all my anxieties. All those nights, I was never alone, you were always there for me even if it was just talking on the phone. Those warm quiet evenings will always bring back the memories of your warm loving touch. For now the warm breeze brings back those words you said so often,"I love you so much." Those warm nights will now always be spent alone. How quiet now is the ringing of the phone. No-one can ever take your place now that your gone, for without you our house is no longer a home. I miss you more every day, all my love always and forever.

Hey Mike, Sitting here missing you asking myself why you are not here. Thinking of all the great times we all had as kids growing up on Wilson st. The lot, Gillies, the flipping of us kids, hiding the tokens, all the boobie traps we set up on mommy, the snow piles. I can go on forever but I dont think the internet can handle that amount of space. I miss you and will always carry you in my heart. Love ya Trish

Another sad day. I miss you so very much. Some times I don't want to open my eyes in the mourning because I will have to face another
day of you not being here. I know you do not want me to go through this but it hurts so very much. With every beat of my heart with every breath I take I miss you more and more. Sometimes I feel your presence and if God wants it to be that way, than I will be okay with you by my side. Time to kiss your pictire good night. Michael I love you so very very much.

To MY Brother Mike ,Words can never express the feelings and mixed emotions that I feel inside. The loss of you has been one of the most painful things that our family has ever experienced! We will get through this because we are all strong and have the faith that we will all be together again. I miss you more than words can ever say,but until then look over us ,protect us and be our guardian angel. Give brother Scott a kiss for me. I will love you always!!!!!!!!!!!!!xoxoxoxoxoxoxox Your sister Trisha

Hi Michael
I went to my hair dresser today. I was telling her what had happened to you. She has never met you but she broke down and cried. Sweetie there are so many people that care and loves you so very much. I bought two braclets, one has your birth stones the other has Scotts birth stones. I also have a neckless with a pearl for you. Michael there are so many people that loves you and cares for you. I still cry almost every day. But like you said ---I'll Be Waiting For You---yes my son,and it won't be to long and I won't have to cry any more. I love and miss you very much

Sally I just heard the news about your husband. I've been out of work so I wasn't aware of what happened. I understand what you're going through because, as you know, I experienced the same sadness. I want you to know that you are stronger than you think and you will be happy again, I promise. May the love of your family and friends mend the cracks of your broken heart. Love, Joanne A.

To My Son Michael
I'LL NEVER WALK ALONE
The day had come for you to say goodbye
My heart has been broken and almost every day I cry
Since your first breath my son, my love for you grew beyond words through the years
There where good times,happy times and times of tears.
God was good to me he gave me you to raise and love
You were put on earth my gift from above
My love will always be with you
No matter where I go or what I do
When I smell a flower, feel a breeze or here a whisper in my ear
I'll pay attention for more than likely it will be you that is very near
I will be with you for soon the day will surely come
When I will always be with you my precious son
I don't know when the Lord will take me away
But we will be together that very same day
So take your little brother Scott''s hand
And soon we will all walk in Gods Paradice Land
Until the Lord calls me home
I kmow that with you beside me
I'LL NEVER WALK ALONE
I love and miss you so very much Mommy
