Beloved Michael You were our 'middle son'. First Jim, then you and then David. We all love you and grieve for you ...each in or own way but none less than the other. You have several aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. And, good friends, here with us. Your grandparents are with you..... and Uncle Gary. (There was a special bond between the two of you...no matter what he was in your corner!) That is a great comfort to me! Your girls are beautiful...and great athletes! Sierra is a basketball wonder. She is playing JV and varsity and keeps getting taller! Mikaela is putting on some height and also plays basketball. they are a blessing to us...along with our our other grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Dad and I think of you often and continue to love and miss you.

Mike, you were an awesome young man. I enjoyed working with
You. I dreamed last night you came back and said you were sorry for hiding from everyone. I believe you knew the Lord so my guess is you are in heaven, healed and whole. This life is not easy. You always seemed to be a rock. God bless your family now. You were a good man. Janice

I feel certain that you knew how much we loved you and that is a comfort. We'll ALWAYS love you! We've always heard time eases the pain. Our memories are becoming sweeter now rather than 'bittersweet'. See you later! Love, Mom and Dad
