I met up with your son Zac a couple of weeks ago. He is doing great. You would be proud of him. He is into dirt track racing like you liked. I’m sure you would have been all involved. Probably just to beat Lisa and AJ. His daughter Melody has really grown up. I hope god shows you what you are missing and you are paying a price for your stupidity. 9 years and I’m still Mad as hell at you. Still Missing you every day brother. Give dad a punch when you see him!

Michael, As the year has progressed I have had some great days and some very down days as I think if your passing. I miss you so much that sometime it feels as if it cannot go on. I miss the late night phone calls and pranks and joking. Today, you no longer grow old and will be forever young on each and every birthday for ever and ever. You will always be my big brother and forever in my heart thoughts and prayers. I wish that you could have seen the love that was all around you. Happy birthday brother. All my love on this beautiful day.

May the road rise up to meet you, May the wind be always at you back, May the sunshine be warm upon your face, The rains fall soft upon your fields and, Until we meet again May God hold you in the palm of his hand. I can only assume you are with brother John right now, but sometimes I swear I can feel you with us. Peter Grimm

10 years have gone by. Often I see a passing picture of you and remember the days. I can’t seem to remember a bad day any more. Just the wonderful times we had together. Miss you still brother.
