Dear Bellahs, Like Bill said, time doesn't heal losing someone. No matter how many years go by, no matter what changes we undergo, those feelings of love and loss are ever present. Mike's legacy is the wealth of memories we share, and having him in our lives when we did. My heart is still with you.

Mike is still very much missed in the Wilson household. I think of him so often and find myself chuckling at memories involving him, my son David, his brother Brian and the group of friends they shared. It was a joyous time, and I thank Bill and Mary for sharing Mike, who indeed became like family to me and mine. He's never very far away. Love to the Bellahs.

My cousin Michelle Miller & I were absolutely floored and devastated when we recently heard of Mike's passing. We worked with him at the Park Mall Sam Goody. He was an awesome boss and friend. He is truly missed. We send our condolences.

Michael;
I just want you to know that people are wrong; the hurt doesn't go away. We all still miss you as much as the day you left. CDO is remembering you at their class reunion this year. What a great thing. Everyone misses you. God has been good as he sent us two wonderful grandsons, the youngest reminds everyone so much of you. His name is Alexander Lee and he has many of your mannerisms, smiles and spunk. We see you in him, everyday. You are still with us in your nephew. We love you.

My name is Boyd Ruhter. Mike worked for me at Sam Goody/Musicland for many years. I am deeply sadden to find out his passing. Mike was alway upbeat and driven to be the best. He was a pleasure to have as an employee. Mike was loved by all of his Sam Goody/Musicland family. Even though we lost touch several years ago, I often thought of him and what he was doing. I wish I would have made contact with him. From all of us that work with Mike, we send our deepest condolences even though they may be late.

Devastated to hear of Mike's passing. I worked with Mike for almost 7 years at Musicland. He was a sheer delight to work with. Very hardworking, very dedicated, very funny, very helpful, very loving, etc. He will be greatly missed. We lost one of the greats!

Michael,
It doesn't seem possible that it has been a year since you left us. People tell me that the hurt will recede after a period of time and that we can learn to get on with our lives. That hasn't yet happened, as there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you and wonder what you're up to or wish that we could share some new and exciting adventure together. I know deep down that the adventure you are experiencing now is the greatest that life has to offer and some day I will join you and you can show Brian and me some new fishin' hole or mountain to climb. Just know, I continue to miss your sense of humor, laughter and presence and that will remain unchanged until the time we hug each other in heaven. Until then, we will take care of things here as best as we can. I love you more than ever,
Friends forever

Mary and Bill, I can't believe it's been a year! I last talked to you at Brennen's service and sure would love to get together with you again. I miss you and surely know what this year has been for you. We're not supposed to lose our children and it sure leaves a lot of questions.

What a beautiful memorial service in celebration of Mike. It was deeply touching to be a witness of the outpouring of love many had for him, and the impact he had on so many of us. What a great pleasure and blessing to have known him as a co-worker and friend, and for leaving footprints in our hearts. We will pray for you always and remember the wonderful gift God brought into our lives. May God bless you and hold you close.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Mike's passing. I guess I had held out hope that he would recover from his illness.
He was a wonderful person. He was one of those people you thank God for bringing into your life. I instantly liked Mike from the first moment I met him. He was always upbeat, positive, and just fun to be around. I looked forward to working with him every day. He was a model employee, a terrific guy, and a good friend. I consider myself lucky to have known him, and I will miss him.
My prayers go out to his family.
