Uncle Mike:

It's been a year today and for me it's a sad day. I really miss you. When it was time to go to work, I miss you and I passing each other in the morning. I was elated seeing that beautiful smile of yours. It brighten my day.

But, who am I to question God's word. I know you are O.K. because you are in God's hands now. He will take good care of you.

Rest in peace.

We Love You,

Sandy and Tyisha (Your Nieces)

Mike,

One year ago today, a part of your precious memories and your smile still linger in my heart and mind. You were a great brother, caring brother and loving brother. I looked at your picture yesterday, the words pimped out and I heard your voice say "Sis" It's Just A Set Back to Get Back".

I love you and miss you.

Your Loving "Sis" Ann and Children

P.S. God Only Want the Best

Mike,

It is so hard for me to except that it has been a year since you went home to be with our awesome God. I know you are cutting up!

Words could never express how much I miss your smile, kind acts of appreciation, you coming over to get something to eat and just us sitting around talking about general things about life. Everytime I get in a situation that seems to get me to tip to the edge, I always remember what you would say " A Set Back To Get Back". I say those words to myself and through God's grace and mercy and your memories, I bounce right back.

I truly miss you and will always have a special place in my heart for you.

I love you and miss you.

My heart is at peace because I know God will take care of you.

Love, Sis (Mae)

Hey Uncle Mike:

It's been rough back here without you. There has been many relatives to pass away, but for some reason, I just can't shake you being gone. I am not questioning God, but it so hard to cope day to day without seeing your beautiful smile and your lovely personality. I am going to continue to hold on to God's unchanging hand and I know he will see me through. There isn't a day we all don't think about you. I know you are alright, because you are with God, so if you are alright, I am alright.

Love you Unc.

Hey, Unc

I know you are resting in a better place, but it was rough back here during Christmas. It was just not the same. You know you were more than an uncle to me and Ty. You were like the brother we never had.

Love you baby,rest in peace.

To: Annie, Edna, Betty

I have never meet a more sweet, and loveable person, I know you guys miss him alot, I know because, I do. Maybe this will bring you some comfort, he would all ways tell me this: "Life is too short, so tell the ones close to you, that you LOVE them". I wish I've told him.

Sincerly,

Sister (his good girl)

A Quick Poem:

GOD Made A "Dent" In Our Lives

I haven't seen Mike in many years

I wasn't there to share your tears

But memories don't die and last 4ever

We always had fun when we were 2gether

Both Mike & Bruce were 2 of the best

They had ups & downs but turned our Blessed

I say to anyone reading this

That Mike & Bruce Dent will definitely be missed

To the Dent & Perry Family, Stay strong & Blessed!

Family, remember to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. It is well in his soul.

Mike, you were truly one of a kind and I've never met anyone else like you. To God Be The Glory.

Rest in Peace Now.

Dear Family,

This Poem of Life is for you.

Life is but a stopping place,

a pause in what's to be

A resting place along the road, to sweet eternity,

We all have different journeys,

different paths along the way.

We all were meant to learn some things,

but never meant to stay...

Our destination is a place,

far greater than we know.

For some the journey's quicker,

For some the journey's slow.

And when the journey finally ends,

we'll claim a great reward,

And find an everlasting peace,

together with the LORD.

May GOD keep Uncle Mike in his arms.

Love,

Kaya, Jordon, Jasmine, Little Darryl

To the family of Michael Dent:

Please accept my sympathy on the passing of Michael. Our paths crossed many times when I lived in D.C. Mike was low key, very respectful and a great guy of whom you can all be proud.
