Another year has gone by and it still hurts to think about you. I make sure to keep her memory alive, I show your picture and I talk about you as much as I can. I have so much to tell you on the day when we finally see each other again. I love you bro I've never been the same since you left us. I often think what life would be like if you were still here. I know you would have a beautiful wife and beautiful children and an amazing job. I know one day I will see you again and when that day comes everything will feel right again. Love you man!

Michael it´s hard to believe it´s been 23 years. I think about you often Michael and I so wish you were here. I think that you´d be married and have kids and just be living the best life ever. I´m so sorry you didn´t get to experience that but all the good memories you left in my heart will always be there. You were a great friend to Rick and John And you left such an impact on everybody´s life that you touched. Love you always Michael until we meet again, rest in peace, sweet boy.

My forever friend.. just because time keeps moving, there is no guarantee the hurt moves with it.. you have been the topic of a few conversations lately, and it has proven to be nearly as painful to speak about you now as it was when you first left us. But I do speak of you with fondness, as you were a great friend to both me and my brother, and so many others. There are many different kinds of friendship, and you checked a lot of those boxes in the short time you were here. I consider myself lucky to have shared some time with you and I really miss the talks and the adventures we had. The way I cope with the grief is knowing that you are at peace now and that one day we will meet again.

Well Michael another year has passed by and missing you hasn't gotten any easier I think about you all the time and I keep running across the book you told me to read. I finally think I'll have the time to read that book.
Watch over my family Michael as we've had some challenges I know you have a few more people with you now and I know we'll see each other again but it doesn't stop the heartache of you not being here with us.
Love you Michael

Can't believe it's been over 22 years since I last saw you. The pain never goes away. I miss you so much my friend. I have moved many times in the last 20 years and your picture has been on my wall no matter where i go. I will have a lot to tell you when I finally see you again. You will never be forgotten! We all love and miss you Michael. Forever my friend and brother. I love you man!

You just had another birthday and soon the anniversary of your death. Lots of memories and thinking about what your life would be like.. mostly I miss our late night talks and the adventures we had. Another friend of mine recently passed and it has you rolling around in my head lately. I have had many years to deal with you being gone, but I also learned that grief can be tricky and creep up on you at strange times and might never truly go away. That is ok, I am learning about acceptance and would have loved to have a conversation with you about it.. I am feeling ok now with the times you pop up, because it reminds me of good times, and the not so good hardly comes up too much anymore. I can accept that you are at peace now and try to think of what we shared with fondness. I still really miss you my forever friend, and send my love.

Happy heavenly birthday Michael I cannot believe it´s been 20 years since you´ve been gone!
I think about you a lot and I know I´ve said this before but I always think about who you would be now and where you would be, what career you would have choose, and how many kids you would have and I sure wish you were here to share all that with us. You will forever be in my heart and I know we´ll see each other again I love you Mike!

Michael your birthday passed and Fourth of July was here and as we celebrated we all spoke of you. We miss you so much, you´re in my heart and on my mind a lot and I always wonder what you´d be doing now; we talked about how many kids you would have I said two girls don´t know why but it just felt right. You are in all of our hearts but to speak of me I think about you almost daily you always be one of my sons from a different mother and I will always love you.
RIP until we see each other again.

Merry Christmas Michael, wishing you were here to celebrate with us, missing you. I am blessed to have so many wonderful memories of you with John and Rick, but it does not stop me from wishing you here with us now.

Dearest Michael I am missing you today and every day, you are on my mind as I grow older and watch Rick and John as they get older. Sometimes I miss your wise words and great talks, but at the end of the day I just miss you! Love you precious boy...till we see each other again.

I can't believe it's been so long my friend... I still miss you so much! I still can't believe that I'm gonna grow old without you and it breaks my dam heart! I recently lost my friend of over 20 years... his name is jamal and I think you guys met, he lived one street over from you. If you could please do me a favor and make sure he's ok up there and show him the ropes of how things are done in heaven that would be great! Man tears are pouring right now.... sitting here writing a message to two of the best friends I've ever had that are now in heaven is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do in my life, but I want you to do I will never forget you, I will keep your memory alive till the day I join you both up there! I love you brother!

I hear that grief fades over time. But my belief and my personal experience with grief over a loved one has proven that theory wrong each anniversary of my loved ones passing..
I visited the cemetary on your birthday and saw the beautiful flowers that someone left for you. So know that today you will be thought of and mourned after and loved and truly missed.
Forever missing my forever friend...

Happy Birthday my friend. I can't believe how long it's been since we last talked but not a day goes by I don't think about you. I drive by the cemetery every day on my way home from work and I mean to stop by more often but it's just so hard I hope you understand. Your picture is tattooed on my arm so I never forget who you were and what a great person you were to all that were around you. I still love and miss you brother and I can't wait till the day when I get to see you again.

Happy Birthday Michael! I love you today as much as the day you were born, you are always in my heart. I talk to you a lot and I know that was you this morning, funny guy. I hope you are watching over us all and I am sure you are, you would be the best Uncle ever to my five grand kids and they would adore you. I wish so bad you were here as you would see all the love we all have for you, the hole in our heart has never healed. Happy Birthday Doodles..love you, give your Grandma a big kiss and hug for me. Until we meet again love you Angel Boy..Happy Birthday.

Michael its hard to believe its been 15 years, every day you have been remebered and have always remained in all of our hearts. As I get older it seems harder, as if it was just yesterday you left us, maybe because as we get older we are getting closer to seeing you again. I know you would have been such a wonderful man and I also know you are a wonderful soul and that you are always with us. R.I.P. Michael, tomorrow will be hard for your mom but I pray for her to have peace. Love you sweet Micheal.

Forever friends never really leave us. They live on in our hearts and they influence us every day. I saw all the signs... Was it you saying hello? Some signs are too hard to just dismiss as coincidence, so I want to believe that it was you. There is just this huge hole where you used to be.. what do we do with that space? It can never be filled with enough love and understanding and friendship again. I know you were an old soul, but some days it's just not fair that you left so soon.
Forever in our hearts, maybe someday it won't hurt so much.

Happy Birthday Michael! So much that you are seeing as you keep an eye on us, thanks for always watching over us. I know you see the new baby that has your name, we are so proud of him and he has a very strong name..after someeone we love so much. I wish we could celebrate with you here on earth but in my heart I know you are having a big party with your Grandma. I love you and miss you, I think of you often and you will never leave our hearts, you are never forgotten! Happy Birthday..

Hey Michael you have been on my mind today all day. I will never forget you or the love we all had for you. I can help but wonder if you would have kids, what you would be (in your career) I know you would be spectacular! I know we will all be together again someday but sure would love one day now...RIP Sweet Boy!

I don't know why my message from yesterday didn't show up but I spent the whole day thinking of you man. I told my girlfriend all about you and how amazing of a person you were to everyone around you. I miss you soo much man!!! I know you had an awesome birthday up there with your Grandma and Tupac! LOL. I already told my girl if we have a child and it's a boy his middle name will be Michael. I know I will see you again soon and can't wait for that day! I love and miss u brother :'(

June 24, 2015

Wow! Can not believe how much you are still missed.. I was at the cemetary on your birthday and still have a hard time being there but being there somehow does make it seem like it brings you closer. It saddens me that your familys children will never have the influence of your wisdom and your personality, your drive and ambition and your love and friendship. I miss you like you were my own brother but most of all I still miss your friendship and our talks. The inspiration you provided in the past still proves helpful, especially when I read some of the things you had written just before you left us. I know you will always be in our hearts but miss your hugs and your presence.. life just is not the same without you, my forever friend.

Happy Birthday Mike, I thought about you all day yesterday and missed you so much. Jeni and I were talking and we were trying to think about if you were here what you would be doing now; I of course think you would be married and have 3 girls...funny how day dreaming works. I love you Mike and know you are watching over all of us. I wish you were here to see Ricks twins and John and Jeni's girls, they are all so precious and would love there Uncle Mike. Happy Birthday - love you Mike.

Hey buddy, I miss you soo much words cant describe it. I still think about you all the time and still have your picture next to my TV in my room. You have no idea what a positive effect you have had on my life. Because of you I went back to school and got a few art degrees. And the most important part of it all that motivated me when the times got really tough and I wasn't sure I would make it was knowing that at the end I was going to invite your mom to watch me graduate and tell her the reason I bettered my life and did this was because of you. I made your mom a promise when you left us that I would not waste my life doing what I was doing and she mentioned going back to school so I did it. And truth be told I always admired how hard you worked to be there for your family, held down 2 jobs, and went to school. I always wanted to be like you. Well the day I graduated Sierra college and walked down the isle and saw your mom standing there was probably the best moment of my life. It made it all worth it. I still have some of your CDs that your mom gave me and was just playing one of them in my car last week. If I knew about this page I would have written you sooner my friend. One day we will talk again and when that day comes I know everything will be ok. I love you brother and miss you soooo much!!!

Doodles,
It's coming up on 12 years! So much has happened... I'm back in Sacramento and it has been difficult to see places we frequented and to drive by your mom's house and see your truck parked outside. But I visit the cemetery every once in a while, just to feel close to you and to talk. I miss our talks and I miss your laugh and smile. Can you believe Matt has two boys ready to be 6? And just to blow your mind some more, Ricky has twin boys now too. I can't help but think how your life would be were you still here with us... Would you be married and having kids of your own? How come it's still so hard to think of you gone?

Happy Birthday Mike, I thought about you all day yesterday and I wish you were here with us to celebrate your birthday. I could not bring myself to call your mom because I know she must have been going through her own pain, I felt she needed her day with you. Please watch over us all and know that we think about you as if you were still here and you always will be in my heart and my memories! Give your Grandma a big hug for me. I love you Mike ...Happy Birthday!

Michael, Happy Birthday Baby…
Another year has slipped away and much has changed. Ricky is going to be 30 this year. Johnny & Jenny are finally having their first baby. Matt & Shannon’s boys, Jackson & Maximus are turning ‘1’ already. Cody & Krystyl had their second baby boy. Blake & Lisa had a baby girl and Mark Pondo graduated from college. One thing that will never change is my feeling for you! I think about you everyday and miss you so very much. I look outside and watch the sky for chance to see a glimpse of you in the clouds. Your smile lights the way, and gets me through another day. I know you are still watching over all of us. My love for you will never fade.

I love you! Mom & Pat

I thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new, I thought of you yesterday and days before that too.
I think of you in silence, I often speak your name, all I have are memories and your pictures in a frame.
Your memory is my keepsake, with which I will never part. God has you in his keeping; I have you in my heart!
Seven years have passed and hours have been so long, I keep hearing your voice telling me to remain strong.
I love you Michael, for ever and ever more, Until we meet again on God's heavenly shores.

With all my love Kristi

Hi Little Guy,

It's been a while. That doesn't mean that I haven't been thinking of you. I think of you always. We still miss you. I watch Matthew with his new babies and I sometimes think of you being there with him, enjoying each moment as he does. Watch over all of them and keep them safe and healthy.
We love you and miss you.

Hello, my name is Marcy and you signed my brother-in-law, Michael Anthony Sanchez's, guest book. You told my mother-in-law that you had a dream about your son and his friends and my brother-in-law was in the dream. I want to thank you for sharing your dream. I am glad you had a chance to meet him in your dream, but if only you could have met him before he passed away. He was a very good guy. He was a fun, crazy, silly person who loved to have a good time. His brother (my husband) and I have a 13 month old daughter and it amazes me how much Michael lives through her. He was a dare devil and a rebel and so is she. When Michael found out he was going to be an uncle he was like a kid in a candy store, so excited. He was there all night and morning with us waiting for our daughter's arrival and he was the best uncle he could have been for the short 5 months he was in her life. Thanks again for sharing your dream. It meant a lot. Sincerely, Marcy

Doodles,

It has been a while, I know! I have felt you around, but I don't know what you are trying to tell me.

So much has happened over the last year that I feel overwhelmed with emotion. I know it is you who kept Bear and Zane safe when they were in their car accident and I also think you had a hand in the events leading up to that accident and you kept me from being involved. I know you are near me still, I just do not know why... yet.

I miss you and could really use your guidance now.

Your forever friend

Michael,

Thank you for hearing my prayers and coming to greet grandma and take her to heaven with you. I am going to deeply miss her laughter, charm, smiling face and her loving Motherly support. I know her wishes and I am at peace with her passing knowing she is no longer in pain and her sole is at peace to finally be in heaven with you and other loved ones...

My Mothers horoscope for today…April 8, 2008 I found it inspiring and wanted to share.
Your key planet Venus gets a boost of positive energy today from joyful Jupiter, lifting your spirits and bringing you pleasure. Your charm puts others at ease now, enticing them to support you in your quest for happiness.

Hey Mike well it has been a while since I wrote and today is a very sad day for us here and a very happy day for you, now that your Grandma has went to be with you. I know you were waiting with open arms and finally Mary is where she longed to be, with you, her special boy! I am relieved that you are together and her heart can finally be healed, I will miss her greatly but I am so happy she is with you! I love you both so very much and I will also see you both again someday. I love you, take care of Mary for us done here as we know you will!

Hi Little Guy,

I was just thinking of you. When ever I start thinking about you and missing you, I look at the picture of you and Michelle I submitted in your photo album and see your smiling faces, I remember the good times we shared.
I remember the day I took that picture of the two of you. When you first got to my house you got down on the floor and started rolling around trying to catch Missy. You were so funny.
I can picture you doing the same in heaven.
We love you and miss you always.
Love,

Hi Little Guy,

I've been away from here for awhile but have not stopped thinking about you. You have been on my mind lately. I'm not sure if you have been hanging around trying to tell me something or if it is my mom. You are always welcome in my house.
I just want to say, as always we miss you and love you.
Watch over Michelle and Bear as they go on their trip. Go have some fun with them.
Always in my prayers, love,

Michelle Rinde

Doodles,

It seems lately that the speed with which life passes gets faster and faster. I know that only yesterday you were here with us and laughing and having a good time. But tomorrow comes too quickly and here we are... faced with the challenges of our lives. It makes us lose sight of the big grand scheme of things and the goals we set for ourselves.
Where is your input when I need it? I can only look into my own heart for so long before I hit a wall and need some guidance. That is where you come in... I miss your input. (wow, what a really long way to say that!)
I just miss you and wish I could see your bright shining face and hear your voice just once more...

your forever friend,

Merry Christmas Mike,
Hey you, it has been a while since I wrote to you but as usual I think of you all the time. The holidays are among us and it always makes me reflect on Christmas passed. Last Sunday a special angel came your way, take care of him, his parents are suffering terribly as he took his own life at the age of 19. I have been spending time with your Grandma and she is doing fine, she still misses you terribly and is anxious to see you one of these days...but I do keep remninding her it is not her turn yet! We all miss you so much Mike..love you sweet angel, Merry Christmas from us all.

Michelle Rinde

November 3, 2006

Doodles,

Hello my friend. The picture my mom added to the photo album is my favorite of us...
I have not written here in a while. A lot has happened since then. And it started the day after your birthday. Bear lost his mom, Marti, to lung cancer that day. And 8 days later, he lost his dad, Jerry, to liver failure. Then recently, my grandma, Janet, joined you. All of them were ill for a while. We have all had some time to understand why they are gone.
With you it is different... I don't understand. I don't understand a lot of things about this life and this world...
One thing I do understand is this: we are here for a reason, and we are gone for a different reason altogether.
I truly do miss you. I could really use your wonderful insight and your thoughtful advice at times like these...

I love you, your forever friend,

Mike and Michelle- Happy Times

Mike -

It seems as though it has been forever since any of us have taken a moment to talk to you.

Just a few updates - John and Rick are in the Police Academy and are both working very hard! John is also working on a career in Corrections. Please watch over them both, as these next few months are probably going to be stressful!

You are thought of all the time, and are still missed as much today, as you were the day you left us. We continue to remember and enjoy all the happiness you brought to our lives, and that is something that will never fade or be lost.

Lots of Love -
John & Jeni

Mike ~

Its been such a long time since we have seen your face - yet we remember every detail about who you are and what you represented. We miss you today just as much as we did the day you were taken from this world. Sometimes I stop and think to myself how lucky you are to be an angel in heaven and not a human on this curel earth.

You are thought of often and its so fun when we can all reminisce on the memories we have shared with you!

All of our Love -

John & Jeni

Doodles,

Well, another year has gone by. And this one is flying by so fast. With all that is going on in my life, I still think about you often. You give me strength and you make sure I know you are around.

I miss you terribly, especially during the tough times in life. I know that you always told me not to worry about things too much, but sometimes I can't help it...

I know many people will be thinking of you on this day and I hope that all who do remember you, wish you well and wish you peace. You are one who wished for peace in the world, and in a way, I am glad you are not here now to see the world as it is... sometimes I wish I wasn't around to see this world, but what are you gonna do???

I love you and miss you still... please bring strength and good tidings to my family and to my extended family as we all embark upon this new journey. We will all need all the help we can get to make it through these tough times. When you see me falter, it would be good to know you are there, with a comforting hug and kind, encouraging words. How I wish I could feel your hug and hear the words come from you again...

Happy Birthday,

Your forever friend,

Kristi March

Doodles,

I learned a new angel has joined you this week. Please treat her as you would your own family. She is very special and might need some help now and then.

I miss you still and hope you are happy. It still hurts not to have you around sometimes.

Hey Mike;

Well another year is almost gone..and today another angel is joining you, please watch over him Mike as he needs a lot of love right now.

The holidays were not the same with out you but each day I think of you and wonder what you would be doing now and where in life you would be. We miss you and speak of you often as we reflect on the past. It seems like you have been gone so long but than like yesterday when we all went camping, or boating..or just hanging out. Your memory is so alive in all of us as if at any moment you will appear and life can be as it was and we all can move on. I treasure every minute we had together..each picture and every thought of you will always be alive in me. I love and miss you...thanks for watching over all of us. I know you are always there!

Love Kristi

Hey Mike ~

It has been a while since I have written but you are still thought of every day! There is not a day that your smile is not missed! With the Christmas season upon us, I find that many memories of you are mentioned! John is still sore from when you hit him with your paint ball gun when he was 8!! Hahaha.....we miss you and it makes it difficult to celebrate without you! But we have to remind ourselves that you are in a better place watching over us! We love and miss you!!

Hi Little Guy,

It has been awhile, but that doesn't mean I haven't been thinking of you. I think of you most while in church, I think because I can feel closer to you there.

I just wanted to say, I love you and miss you.

Thank you for watching over all of us.

Love,

Doodles..

Well, my favorite holiday is upon us and I have been submerged into spider webs and scary music! The house is looking spooky and it looks like there will be some scared trick-or-treaters on halloween!

It seems that everywhere I turn lately, there is a picture of you! You have been on my mind a lot lately!

I miss you still, that won't ever change. I just wish you could be here to celebrate...

Funny how life takes on so many changes over time, but you never really notice it until you think back to the way things used to be...

I love you and miss you,

your forever friend,

Michael,

Wow it has been a long time since I wrote, but you are in my thoughts daily. You have had lots of company lately, it seems. I wanted to let you know we are all doing ok, lots of changes that I am sure you know about and are watching over. Sometimes things are hard to figure out but somewhere there must be something good that comes out of things we can't understand. I am praying for our loved ones and hope you keep an eye on everyone and help us to love each other. You must be a pretty special angel to have so many people depending on you, but as ususal I know you are protecting all of us! I miss you so much...

Hey Mike~

Sorry its been so long since I have written. Life gets out of control sometimes. Well, another angel will be joining you in heaven! He was taken from this earth in the most unfair way, leaving family and friends behind. I am sure you 2 will become friends!

We miss you Mike. John was cleaning out some things yesterday and found a Mickey Mouse autograph book that he has had since 1992. He remembered having you sign it for him, and it brought back great memories to see your name signed in that book. Not a day goes by where you are not thought of, or that something does not spark a happy memory of you.

All our Love,

Jeni & John

Hey Mike..sorry I have not written lately but you have been on my mind daily...several times..in fact you are always there no matter what I am doing. Thank you so much for watching over John and Jen, the car wreck was horrible and we are so lucky they were not hurt so much worse. I know you were there to help them and watch over them. You are truly our Angel! I miss you so much and thought a lot about you lately and the silly things Rick and you went through growing up, the way you guys pegged your pants with those big safety pins, the haircuts, camping trips and boating..boy I miss those times.. I love you Mike ...forever and always!

August 1, 2005

Thank you for being there for me,

We need that right now.Watch over us all,come visit when you can.Tell him I miss him so much it hurts so bad, I will try to smile and not be sad. Love you guy's

Hi Little Guy,

An Angel walks beside me, I feel him everyday, he helps me through lifes ups and downs, and whatever comes my way.

He guides me down the road of life, and lights the darkest roads, he picks me up and carries me, when I can not bear the load.

He helps to ease the pain I feel, he mends my spirit too, he holds my hand, and shelters me and gives me courage and strength.

He speaks to me with words of love, and listens to my pleas, he was sent here from the lord above to guide and comfort me.

I know he's always watching, though his form I cannot see, it's a peace I feel deep in my heart, that leads me to believe.

An Angel walks beside me, I feel blessed everyday, that the presence of this angel, will never go away.

As always, I love and miss you.

Thank you so much for being with us yesterday. I know you and my Grandma must have teamed up, or else the crash would have been alot worse. I feel so blessed to have such wonderful angels watching over us~it makes me feel that much safer! Thanks for cathing me when I fell.....

July 14, 2005

Michael,

Another visit in a dream. I know you are worried about my promise, I will keep it, I just need a little time. Please understand. I will not let you down.

This is your rest time, no need to worry. See you next dream! Know you are missed and loved by all that know you!!

These past few weeks have been emotionally hard. The memory of you will never be lost or forgotten. The pain is just as strong today, as the day you left this earth. Thank you for all the memories and the friendships! We all miss you very much!

Hi Little Guy,

Sorry I missed writing to you on your Birthday. As you know I was thinking about you on your day.

As always, we love and miss you very much.

You seem to pop into my thoughts at the strangest times. But that is like you to just be there when we least expect it.

Love you, and Miss you,

Michelle Rinde

Doodles,

I woke this morning and knew you were there. I wasn't the only one who noticed your presence. I appreciated the hug and kiss on the forehead, it made me feel so secure and safe. I really miss you and it is nice to know that you recognize when I need it the most.

I carried you around in my pocket for your birthday, could you tell I missed you?

I love to read everytime someone writes to you here. It makes me feel good to know that you are thought of so much and so often and you still make your presence known.

I love you and these few weeks are the hardest of the year to deal with your passing. Please come around again when you feel like it, I always look forward to your visits...

Love your forever friend,

Jeni Beames

Happy Birthday Mike!

I tried to write so many times yesterday, but everytime I started to type, and I lost my words. Days like yesterday seem so dark, but then off in the distance there is light and we realize-thats you shining your beautiful smile upon us. Birthdays are a day for celebrating lives, and that is exactly what we did! We remembered all the times we were fortunate to share with you.

You are missed just as much now, as you were the day you left this earth. We stay strong with the anticipation of meeting with you again someday.

You are very missed and thought of everyday!

Mike,

Just a little note to say happy birthday. I can't believe it's been so long since we have seen at smile of yours. We all miss you. Wish you were here to celebrate your 25. I have cookies for you, just the way you like them. UNO stoped by today to say to say hi and he wants you to play with him. Just keep looking out for everyone. We all miss you.

June 22, 2005

Michael,

I never met you in this life but I have met you, once in a dream. You asked a favor of me and I want you to know that I PROMISE I will do what you asked of me. Rest assured that I will not let you down.

I took today, your birthday, to read every line written for you by your friends and family and I cried. I feel cheated that I never got a chance to meet the man that inspired so many people and touched so many lives. I guess until I get to Heaven I will have to be satisfied with knowing you in my dreams. Feel free to stop by anytime. I know I will recognize you by your smile!

Happy Birthday Michael. Know you are loved, missed and honored by all those that know you and still love you.

Happy Birhtday Mike...25 years old and how I wish you were here so we could spend the day doing something really special....I want this to be a fantastic day and I just cant help but feel so sad and miss you so much. I was reflecting back on when your mom found out she was pregnate and we gave your dad diapers and a raddle for his birthday, it was our way off saying you were on your way. From that day forward you brought us all such happiness and I just want you to know that although you were here for such a short while the lifetime of memories you left will always be in my heart and everyone elses that you have ever touched. Today John, Jen, Rick and I are going to go spend time at your memorial, you wont be there but it will make us all feel closer to you. The pain never goes away or even gets easier to accept, but knowing we will see each other again brings strength to me. Please continue to watch over us and always know you are with us in spirit and never leave our hearts. Happy Birthday I love you Angel.

Doodles,

It has been quite a while since I have written. But lately I have been thinking more and more of you. I can write that things aren't the same without you and that I miss you terribly, and those things would be true, but they have been said before and will be said again.

So this time, I just want to talk like we used to. About our lives and the things we have going on. About our jobs and our hopes and dreams and our realities. I want to talk to you about what it is like to live in Las Vegas. I want to know where you are and what you are doing. I want to see your face and hold your hand and give you a hug and hear your voice. I want all these things, knowing I can never have them.

I feel so weak sometimes, and then for some reason, I think of you. I ask myself what you would say to me about this, or how you would handle the situation. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Lately, it hasn't worked.

And I am just missing you. Wondering how you are and what you are doing and where you are going. The hard part is not knowing.

The next few weeks are usually the hardest to deal with in the year. I never thought that I would not look forward to a birthday and an anniversary...

Till we meet again.

Your forever friend,

Antoinette

HI Mike,

I know this only the second time I've written to you, but that doesn't mean I don't think of you dailey. So much has been going on that I wish you could be here for. I got married in October and I will be giving birth to my baby girl at the end of April. I wish you could be here to see her, although I know you will be in spirit. I have many dreams that you are in and they seem so real. Then I wake up and remember the tragedy. I know you are now in a better place and watching over all your loved ones, although you are truly missed. Thinking of you- Cherie

I miss you so much as if you just left and still it feels like you will be coming back...I know you watch over us all and have seen the changes we all have went through lately..so to me you have shared them with us. I love you so and miss you, if you can feel this..I am hugging you!
