Gwen,
I hope that the passages that i picked out and the poems were ok.
Mike has always had a special place in my heart, and he will be missed.As they say the chain in heaven just got another link in our family.When Grandma passed i was setting in the bedroom and mike came in and put his arm around me and said we would see her one of these days and he is.

Mike will always have the most special place in my heart, those days of high school were so golden, and I see some old friends here to say their last farewell. Antonian, track meets, the ranch parties, Star Trek and The Cowboys. Mike had a big heart, he loved big and he lived big. He fought a hard fight and is at peace now. Please remember Gwen, we're here if you need us for anything, to talk, share some memories and a laugh ... Kay and Laura

Gwen,
We are so sorry for your loss. We love both you and Michael so much, and we have shared so many important times in our lives. Michaels love for you was so deep, and even though he is not physically here, he will always be watching over you and loving you. Always remember we are here for you and we love you.

Growing up in different cities and being younger than cousin Mike, I thought Mike was the coolest guy in the world. I couldn't wait for our dads to get together for family events and hunting season so I could hang out with Mike. The tough years have passed and I know Mike will rest in peace as he leaves myself and the others he influenced with memories that will stay with us forever.
