Michael, I miss you so much. It doesn't seem possible that you've been gone four years.
FENNELLY Michael P. July 4, 1986 - June 3, 2008 In loving memory of my son, Michael, who passed away so suddenly four years ago today on June 3, 2008 at the age of 21. Mike's laughter and sense of humor and ability to make others laugh, his terrific personality, big blue eyes and huge smile are just a few of the things I miss so much about Mike. The pain never goes away and I'll never understand why God took him from me. When you remember Mike today, please try not to be sad. He would want us to think happy thoughts and remember the fun times and the laughter. Most importantly, make someone laugh or smile today, just as Mike always did. Missing Him Always-Loving Him Forever

Merry Christmas Michael. It doesn't seem possible that we're having another Christmas without you here with us. They're not the same, we all miss you so much. We do our best because we know that's what you would want but it's not easy. Not too much more to say that hasn't been said already. Please continue to watch over us. You'll always be our special angel. Loving you forever, missing you always. Love, Your Proud Mom
P.S. You and Aiden would have been best buddies and he would have loved you. You two would have had so much fun playing with his toys together. P.J. always gets a kick out of him when they're together.

Michael, Happy 25th Birthday. I wish I didn't have to wish you happy birthday this way. You should be right here with us to celebrate together. Not everybody is so special to have been born on the 4th of July. We always knew you were a very special person. On the day you were born it was a very happy time. Twenty one years was not enough to have had you with me. I miss you so much. Loving you forever, missing you always. Happy Birthday. Love, Your Proud Mom

Michael,
We've made it through another Christmas without you. I miss you so much. Nothing is the same. It doesn't get any easier. We were all together today - P.J., Tina, Ally, Autumn, Amy, Aaron, Aiden and myself- at Amy and Aaron's in Wilton. It was a nice day. It was the first Christmas that I didn't have in our house in Loudonville where you kids all grew up. So many changes. But the worst is not having you here with us. I'm sad without you here with me, some days worse than others. Please continue watching over us. I love and miss you so much. Always thinking of you. Missing you more than anyone will ever know.
Love Ya, Your Proud Mom

Michael,
I know today is only July 2 and your birthday is on Sunday, July 4 but as you know I'm going to Rhode Island with Amy, Aaron and Aiden (you would really love him) and I'll be there on your birthday. I didn't want you to think I forgot about you. I never could. You're in my thoughts almost every minute of every day and I miss you so much and my heart continues to ache. Anyway, I want to wish you a happy 24th birthday. I'm sure if you were still here with us Amy would be making you a big chocolate chip birthday cookie. P.J., Tina, Ally & Autumn are going camping for 4 days this weekend. Give P.J. a special pat on the back if you get a chance and let him know you're proud of him for his latest accomplishment. Enjoy the fireworks from your front row seat in Heaven. Miss you and love you so, so much. Happy Birthday!!!
Your Proud Mom

I can't tell you how much I miss you Mike. You should be here with me. It's not going to be a good day today so please pat my head today and tell me you love me like you use to whenever you went out at night. I'll visit you at the cemetery today. Love you and miss you so, so much.

July 4, 1986 - June 3, 2008 In loving memory of my son and our brother, Mike, who passed away suddenly two years ago on June 3, 2008, at the age of 21. In memory... his laugh still echoes, his life still inspires, his light still shines... and always will.
That horrible day two years ago brought so much heartache to our lives. We continue to miss him so much, as we always will. Anyone who knew Mike loved his ability to make people laugh and smile. He was a terrific young man and we've lost so much. In Mike's memory please do something to make someone laugh or smile today just as he always did. Missing him always - loving him forever.

Brother, P.J.

Michael,
I'm sure you already know - your nephew, Aiden Michael Fennelly Hayes, arrived last night February 13, 2010 at 9:15 p.m. He weighed 8 lbs., 5 oz. and was 20 1/2 inches long. He's a beautiful baby and Amy and Aaron are so happy and proud. Thank you for your part in all of this and for watching over them during the last 9 months. Now your job is to be Aiden's special guardian angel - sit on his shoulder and keep him safe. I'm sure you love him as much as he would have loved you. Wish you could be here but we will always tell him all about his awesome Uncle Mike.
Miss you and love you forever.

Merry Christmas Michael. This is our second Christmas without you. Thank you for looking down on us today and helping us have a nice Christmas. I tell you over and over - we all miss you so much. Our holidays will never be the same without you. Autumn was thrilled with the necklace with your picture on the charm that she had asked for. She loved it and I'm sure she'll treasure it forever. She talks about you constantly. I guess that's all I have to say Michael - you know all my thoughts and feelings. I love you so much. Love you forever.

Hi uncle mike,
I was just sitting up and you were on my mind. I was thinking about all the goodtimes i had growing up and you were always there. As you can probably see i tell all my friends about you. And how you had all sorts of cool tattoos and how you were amazing at playing the guitar. I dont really like to talk much about you just because it hurts to much to know your not here. I not the type of person to tell people how im feeling but if you listen to me at night i talk to you. Tonight was just one of those nights when I felt sad inside and i wanted to talk to you. I love you uncle mike.

Michael,
It's our second Thanksgiving without you. It doesn't seem possible. We all think about you constantly and Autumn definitely has a special place in her heart for you - you're someone very special to her. Keep watching over all of us especially Amy, Aaron and soon to be Aiden. See if you can do something special for P.J. Happy Thanksgiving, love and miss you forever and forever. Your Proud Mom

Michael,
I don't understand how the rest of the world goes on when my whole world has stopped. I guess it is what happens after a while. I try to be understanding, but it is hard not to feel angry. I know it is wrong of me, but still I feel this way. I want to shake people and yell at them and say, "What is the matter with you? Don't you know he's gone??? Have you forgetten???" But, their only answer might be, what's the matter with YOU? And I guess that there's a lot the matter with me. People go on, things go on, and I stay still. I don't mind. I love you so much. XOXO Amy

Mike,
I don't have words to describe how we all felt today, but it was a feeling that I can't explain. It was bitter and sweet. We miss you so much. I knew you would do your part. Thank you!!!!It was as hot,as when you were Elmo!!!RIP

August 16, 2009
Michael,
I just got home from Autumn's 6th birthday party. We always know that you're here with us but sometimes you send a sign to us that we can't miss. Today was one of those days. As soon as we finished singing Happy Birthday to Autumn, as the cake was being cut, Jukebox Hero started playing on the radio. It gave me chills and a wonderful feeling to know that you were really there with us. I knew you wouldn't miss her birthday. Thanks for still being a terrific guy. Love you and miss you as always. Love forever, Your Proud Mom
August 12, 2009
Mike,
Time has past,but never from from our minds. Autumn is always thinking of you. We will miss you at her birthday party, but I'm sure you will be looking down on . Remember Elmo, how could you ever forget.We miss you more than ever.RIP

Happy 23rd Birthday Michael. You were my 11 pound, 3 ounce firecracker on the day you were born, July 4, 1986. Wow!!! I never thought I would have to wish you a happy birthday this way. There are no words to tell you how much I miss you. It hasn't gotten any easier and it never will. Send some of your laughter and smiles down to me today and brighten my day just like you always did - I could always count on you to make me smile. I'll be thinking of you all day just as I do every day. Happy Birthday Kiddo!! Love Ya and Miss Ya.

Amy and Aaron are so grateful that you, as Amy would say "worked your magic". They are so thrilled that they are finally going to be parents. She knew she could count on you.

Please continue to shine your special powers on Amy and Aaron for the next nine months and watch over their baby as he/she grows.

I'm sure you were looking down on us with your big smile, when we got the great news today!!!!I knew it would happen soon. Good things take time. Our family will never be the same, but with the new member in our family it will bring alot of happiest.I don't know how Autumn is going to deal with it, but Ally will be ok with it. I can't explain how happy I am. Thanks Mike I know you are very happy to. PJ is so happy.RIP Tina

PJ and Autumn had Father's Day at school today, they both look really nice. PJ was very proud. He said, he was the coolest day there. That doesn't suprise you.(HA HA).RIP
June 5, 2009
Mike,
So Autumn thought it was very cool seeing all the flower left for you. You know, she is expecting you to come and take the flowers. And how did you like the large rock she left for dad?(LOL)We miss you very much!!!!RIP

Michael,
One year ago today you were taken from me, and even though I've tried to come up with an answer as to "why", I still don't know. So, I settle with "he was just too good for this world". I miss you every day. Some days I cry and some days I laugh. I'm so glad I have so many great memories to hold on to. My life has changed and it will never be the same without you but I know you are with me, sitting on my shoulder, patting my head, and watching over me every day.
So, have you checked out the flowers I brought to the cemetery for you? I would have preferred pink or yellow but when I spotted the bright Orange ones I knew those were the ones for you. I laugh when I think about how ugly I think they are but I knew you would think they were great. Nothing but the brightest and best for you Kiddo!
There just aren't enough adequate words to tell you my feelings, so these will have to do, Michael I love and miss you forever and forever.
Love Ya Always, Your Proud Mom
June 3, 2009
Mike,
It's been one year today, mom ask that we don't dwell on the sadness, but think of all the happy times. So on the way bringing Autumn to school, she said she was going to tell her friends about your birthday. How she got to blow out your candles on your cake, that was funny to her, cause she thinks you never made a wish. I'm sure you were looking down laughing with her. We all miss you very much!!!!RIP
May 28, 2009
Mike,
It's almost been a year, And it gets tougher to deal with. They say in time things will get easier, not in this case. You are miss everyday. Our lifes will never be the same. I just hope you will give your brother the strengh he needs. I bet you were laughing at him at the dance, I think he always wanted to be in a band.(LOL). We want camping and had a good time, but you are never far from our minds. Autumn is always talking about you. She loves her uncle. Can you believe she is going in first grade. I'm sure your watching over her laughing, as Autumn is tell all her stories. Ally just turn 13, as usually she is to cool for a party. We were laughing the other day, remember all the times she got hurt at mom's just in the one day.You and PJ couldn't stop laughing. She made the Lacrosse team, not that they ever won. Mike you left us, with so many question, but even if we had the answers, it wouldn't matter. Autumn's repeated question is(why uncle Mike had to go)She just don't understand. This year she will be going to Our Lady Of Assuption for religion class. I'm sure she will have alot of question for them. Mike it seems like it was just yesurday,when Autumn and Ally got baptized. That was another special day the family was together. Remember where we went to eat. That's your brother's favorite place.LOL. Mike your brother need you to keep looking over his shoulders. Time has pass, things have changed, but you will always be miss!!!RIP

April 21, 2009
Michael,
As you know, I talk to you every day. Today I just had the need to put the words in writing. Not that it will change things. You will never be coming back to me and that thought hurts so much. I try not to think about that and instead think about all the wonderful memories I have of you. I miss you so much and there isn't much that lessens the pain and hurt. I love to think of all the times you made me laugh with the funny things you would say and do. You could do that like no one else could. I was always so proud of you as I continue to be. Time hasn't made this any easier, and some days now it seems almost unbearable. I know that Amy and P.J. will never be able to understand why you had to be taken away. They miss and love you so much. We all try to be strong the way you would want us to be, but it's so very hard, we just all want you back and we know that isn't going to happen. Life changed forever the day you died. Please continue to be with us as the angel on our shoulders, watch over us, and help us to carry on. Missing and loving you more than you'll ever know.

Oh course you did, she never put your friends down. I Know you were laughing at the family today playing with their new toy. Aaron and your brother were rocking it. The guitar Hero Band was awsome. We know you would of top out of the game. How did you like Amy's singing. I know you and PJ would of had fun with her!!! I have to tell you it was not easy today. You were miss so much.

Well another Charle Brown tree. It took PJ a whole second to cut it down. Once again you were on our minds, but we made the best of it. We miss and love you so much. I know you are looking down and laughing at our tree. I wish we could see that laugh one more time. Tomorrow we are going to Amy's for Aaron's B-day. You will be missed. PJ will have to pick on Amy. We love you always.
December 1, 2008
Hey Mike,
We made it though the first holiday. Of course you were missed very much. Mom had the kids this weekend, I bet you were laughing about the short cut. (Cookie Dough). The kids loved making them. PJ was proud showing off his tattoo again. Everyone love's it. When we walk into mom's house it feels so empty. I know that feeling will never go away. Just help everyone get though it. keep shining down and giving the strength that everyone needs the next couple of weeks. Christmas just won't be the same.RIP

Time has passed, and your never far from our minds. I'm sure you were proud of Autumn. I was very pleased with her. She wanted to go see you for the longest. She thinks so much of you!! She can't understand why you had to go so soon. I don't think anyone will ever understand. The little time you been in heaven, so much has changed. How do you like Ally's nose ring, I never knew if you like them. But Alot of your friends had them. Tomorrow mom is going to Autumn's school for a feast. Autumn is so excited. Mike hard times are around the corner,please watch over the family. We all miss you so much. A big part of the family was taking from us, It will never be the same, but we have alot of memorys to keep us going. Your brother missing you so much. Please come and see him soon! RIP.
October 26, 2008
Hello Mike,
We did not know each other but, I know your wonderful mother. I recently saw her and she misses you so much as I am sure many others do. Keep watch over your family because they will need your strength. I hear wonderful things about you and I know the world here will not be the same without you but, the beautiful world you are in now is why it is called heaven. Rest in Peach Michael.

Mike,
About 4 months ago our lives were great. I still can't believe it happen. We went out for dinner for mom's birthday. It just was not the same. As Autumn said at the table, ( the whole family is here except uncle Mike). We made the best of it. Amy, actually got away without being pick on. I can't tell you how many time of the day Autumn mention your name. She always saying uncle Mike can come home now. I wish it was that easy. Mike you left a big impack on the girls, especially Autumn. She think of you all the time. Your brother is doing good, he keeps alot inside. Mike keep watching over the family. You are miss very much. Harder times are coming, keep standing aside us, and help mom, PJ, Amy get through it. Everyone is always think of you.RIP
August 12, 2008
Mike,
Today was hard for your brother, not that everyday isn't. But something just hit him harder. Tears just fell from his face, and nothing to say. Alot must of been on his mind. Mike we all miss you at Autumn's party. God knows you would of had a higher score then PJ.(HAHA). Autumn knew you were looking down. We all miss you so much.

I'm sure you got your letter and balloons by now. Autumn was so happy sending them today. She was so sure of herself,that when you open the letter you would be laughing so hard. I told you that she keeps everyone going. Mike time is passing and not a day goes by that we don't think of you. Your brother is getting his tattoo finished this Wednesday. It's awsome! Makes him feel good. His waiting to see you in his dreams. By the way that was a great sign you gave him walking out the tattoo shop. Thank You!! Mike keep looking down on us. RIP we all love you!!

Michael,
Happy 22nd Birthday Michael. Today was the day you came into this world weighing 11 pounds, 3 ounces. I knew you were special that day but I never imagined what a truly special and amazing young man you would grow up to be. I miss everything about you - your smile and your laugh, your sense of humor, your big heart, the way you would tease me just to try to annoy me because you thought it was funny. I miss so much the feeling of your hand rubbing the top of my head, and your saying goodbye to me whenever you went out. Who would have guessed that something so little would have meant so much and that remembering it could make me cry? Michael, I never knew anyone who affected so many lives the way that you did. It just came naturally to you without even trying. I am so grateful to know that you have so many caring and devoted friends whose hearts you have touched tremendously and who really loved you. Unfortunately since that is true, you have left an awful lot of people sad because we won't have you here in our lives. We know you'll be with us, watching down on us, but it won't be the same.
I could go on and on but it won't change the fact that I miss you so much and it will never be the same without you. I know I'm being selfish - you are in a much better place with no problems or worries, where every day can be your birthday if you want it to be, but I still will have that emptiness in my heart because I miss you so much. Enjoy the fireworks tonight from your front row seat now. Remember what we use to tell you when you were a little boy - they're having the fireworks for you because it's your birthday. Happy Birthday Michael. I love you and miss you more than anyone could ever imagine. You continue, as always, to make me proud.
Love You Forever, Mom

Mike,
Sorry it took so long to write. It seem just the other day we all went out for dinner. You and PJ sharing chicken wings, Autumn giving you her chicken finger, so less she has to eat. And everyone laughing at me for the deer story. A terrible tragedy took you, now you are looking down on us today. Mike, I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this, maybe I will never understand why you were taken from you brother, mother, and sister. I just can't comprehend it yet. As I look at your brother, tears are brought to my eyes. I wish I could take away his pain. I know he is always thinking of you. When ever you two were together(look out Amy). You and PJ would keep everyone upbeat and laughing at your jokes.(mainly toward Amy) Amy was good for that. Anything for her brothers. Mike, words can't even describle how much we all miss you. I know you are in good hands in heaven, with your father. As the family will live in pain the rest of their life, please give them the strengh to be strong. There are so many times I wish someone could answer your brothers questions that he has in his mind. Mike holidays, partys,cook outs will never be the same. And you will always be missed, but never forgotten. The incredible smile you had. You were full of love and endless devotion to your friends and family. The bottom line is, the world has lost one of its greatest assets and gained it in heaven. Mike as you sit in heaven with dad patroling heavens gate, continue to look down on mom and give her guidence and protection. I'm trying to keep her busy with the girls. You know how much she love's Autumn and Ally. Grandma has enough love for everyone. And you take up a huge part. Sometimes I look at her and just wish I could take away her heavy heart, that she is carrying. Mike everyone knows that you will remain in the hearts of many forever. Tomorrow your brother is getting a tatoo, just for you. He is very excite. Mike please keep him strong, and give him a sign that your are with dad. By the way, you don't have to worry about Autumn forgetting you, She reminds us everyday about uncle Mike and why we are not still crying. I know you are looking down on her laughing. She always did put a smile on your face. Ally also thinks of you all the time. She has no one to answer her question on the computer. That what made you special to the girls. Mike thanks for all the great memories. The best was when you dress up as ELMO in 90 degree weather. What a great uncle you were. And I'm confident that you are looking down on all of us. You did what you came here to do, and left your mark on this world. REST IN PEACE

It has been so long since we have seen each other ! (Back in the day in Latham). I remember your Dad. I read the paper and shared with my daughter Lauren who graduated from Shaker High School 2004. She and our family felt really sad to hear the news of Michael, so young. Our family sends our love and blessings to you and your entire family ! Lauren advises me your step brother was loved and had a beaming smille for everyone. Reading the words in the paper confirms how many people he has touched !
Thinking of you Andrea My old buddy .

I just passed the funeral procession for your son and brother Michael. What a true tribute to Michael. I didnt know Michael but i guess that would be my loss. From all of the papers and media and guestbook signings, your son and brother was a Top Notch Man. You are in my thoughts and prayers and keep your memories of Michael very close. They will never fade..........He will be with you always....I am sure his work on this earth is not Finished...
God Bless

Dear Jan, Amy and Packy,
No words can ease the pain of losing Michael from this life.
The knowledge, lessons and wisdom that I have gained from knowing Michael and reviewing his birth, life and rebirth are immense. His smile, gentle, cooperative and caring manner, love for others and creativity. Michael's young life taught by quiet example, love and strength.
I hope and pray that God gives you all peace, strength and hope through the memory of the gift of gentle strength that He gave Michael.
In Christ's love,
Chrissy, Don, Maigan, Sarah and Brent
