I did it baby brother. You were always worried about what I was going to do in life with that "high priced" degree as you called it. Well I am proud to say I finally put it to work. My first book is wrote and getting ready to be released. I couldn't have done it without all the support and the things in my life. It is dedicated to your memory. You were always my rock and listened when I had problems and had my back when I needed it. After you got taken from us I started thinking. I wanted to do something to make you proud of the person I had become. So I wrote. I incorporated my life into that book. My only regret is you are not here to share it with me.

Happy Birthday baby bro. We miss you everyday and I know your Dancing In The Sky now. Love you! (Lyrics to Dancing In The Sky by Danni &Izzy)

Tell me what does it look like in heaven
Is it peacful, is it free like they say
Does the sun shine bright forever
Have your fears and your pain gone away
Cause here on earth it feels like everything,good is missing
since you left,
and here on earth everythings different,
there's an emptiness,
oh oh I,I hope your dancing in the sky,
and i hope your singing in the angels choir,
and i hope the angels know what they have,
I'll bet it's so nice up in heaven since you arrived,
So tell me what do you do up in heaven,
are your days filled with love and light,
is there music,is there art and invention,
tell me are you happy,are you more alive,
cause here on earth it feels like everything good is missing
since you left
and here on earth everythings different,
there's an emptiness
oh oh I,I hope your dancing in the sky,
and I hope your singing in the angels choir,
and I hope the angels know what they have,
I'll bet it's so nice up in heaven since you arrived,
I hope your dancing in the sky,
and i hope your singing in the angels choir,
and i hope the angels know what they have,
I'll bet it's so nice up in heaven since you arrived,
since you've arrived.

Well, let's see. Chris had just got to Michael's after work. All the kids were in the pool having a good time. Michael kept telling Chris he was going in the pool. They would always carry on with each other every since Chris was little. Michael grabbed Chris up and threw him in. Low and behold Chris's cell phone was in his pocket lol. Well needless to say it didn't work after that. But it was all in good fun. That was the relationship they had. Michael and Brandy would keep Chris almost every weekend while he was growing up and he would be right at the skating rink with them. I always said they were his weekend mommy and daddy lol. Michael taught that kid everything he knows and he was just as good as him on a pair of skates. I can remember like it was yesterday Chris Orlicki would start the song Double Dutch Bus and tell Michael and Chris their song was playing and they would jam skate together. They were an awesome team. Things will never be like that again but the memory lives on in us all. Now he is in heaven taking care of my baby Matthew and giving Grandma and Aunt Ruth a break. I will cherish forever every waking, breathing moment we had together. Good and bad. Love you baby Brother, watch after my little one and I'll catch you when it's time.

Boy how I remember that truck. if he wasn't showing it off he was doing exactly what he was in the picture - cleaning it lol. He would always get on to me about the kids dropping something in the car. Then he would say well just bring it over here and I will clean it. He would never ask me for anything in return he just done it cause he wanted to. Those where the days! So many memories like this and too many to even begin to share.

Thank you Dona Casey for sharing these photo's. Michael loved his job as much as he loved the people he worked with. You all were his extended family, his home away from home. These mean a lot to us. Thank you all. You will all be in our thoughts. To all the good folks at Tabor's Thank you for caring about my brother as much as he cared about you all. It is greatly appreciated. God bless.

This was Michael. Always goofing around. We had many great years together in the snow. He always thought it was funny to bring a handful of snow inside and put it down the back of your shirt just as you were getting warmed back up. Then would roll in the floor laughing. You may not of thought it was funny at the time but he thought it was hilarious. I remember when w were younger living on Washington all of us kids in the neighborhood would gather to sled down Mr. Wills yard. He had the steepest yard on the block. Poor Shasta took a turn one time and right up under his truck she went. Stitches were needed but Michael just sat down with her and said don't worry sis it will be ok. Michael was not just Mom's baby. He was everyone's baby in the family. Alexis was the apple of his eye. He loved spending every minute he could with her. They were two peas in a pod. Always goofing around and carrying on. But that was who Michael was - a big kid at heart.

Man Where To Start The One Who Taught Me Everything I Know About Skating lol Man Did We All Have Some Good Times Out There U Even Wired Up The First System I Ever Had And Lifting Together We Had a Blast Ill Miss Ya Buddy Always Thinking About Ya

I remember we met on Halloween that year to take all the kids out trick or treating and Michael wore a plumbers comstume. So many people stopped us and just laughed at that costume because of the butt crack that was showing on it. Michael would jiggle around because of it being so big and it was just hilarious. He was always so silly like that. He had a way to make you laugh even when you didn't want to. That laugh, oh that laugh. He was the only one that had that laugh and I can still hear it.
