micheal, i will miss you very much. We spent a great part of our lives together.You will be in my heart and soul forever. I enjoyed every minute I spent with you."mostley our trip to Florida" It was the best time ever. I cant tell you how much I loved being with you, you was always cracking jokes about everyone and everything. I spent alot of time with you, while you were here. And to my big sis, I love you dearly. I hope you will take something from this and be a stronger person. I cant tell you anything that will make you feel better, but i do no you are a strong, caring person and I hope GOD will guide you through this horrible time. I will say a prayer for you every day. I LOVE YOU BOTH......You will never be forgotten but you will be greatly missed.

Michael,
I don't know how to say goodbye. I miss you with every breath I take, I will never forget the time I had with you. I can remember when you were so little and you use to love and rock in Grandma Clark's rocking chair with me. You use to say faster Aunt Tonia, and the next thing i knew we were flipping it over. The rocking chair had went through alot with us. It's funny thinking about all the nails we used to fix it! Finally, that rocking chair know longer was fixable. Now the day has come for me to say goodbye and I can't, so please understand it's never goodbye for Aunt Tonia. I will see you again in time and you will live on forever in my heart. Michael I LOVE YOU INFINITY AND BEYOND!

Love Always
and
Forever!
Aunt
Tonia

Dear Mike may you rest in peace and may your family feel comfort by knowing you will always be watching over them in heaven and in their hearts. Mike and I were good friends in highschool years and I loved him alot. Its so sad to hear about his passing, I don't know exactly what his illness was, as I haven't seen or talked to him since around 2001, when I left for the army and we went our seperate ways. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers, even though I'm married now and have a daughter of my own, you will always have a special place in my heart from the years we spent together back then. Love, Amber Reyna "Rosignola"

Dear Sandy & John Hendricks,
We are deeply saddened by the loss of your grandson, Michael. Your kindness and caring for him while he was on earth will not be forgotten; he relied on "Grandma" and "Grandpa" so much, especially during the time of his illness. May he rest in peace.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
