They Say There is a Reason


They say there is a reason,
They say that time will heal,
But neither time nor reason,
Will change the way I feel,
For no-one knows the heartache,
That lies behind our smiles,
No-one knows how many times,
We have broken down and cried,
We want to tell you something
So there won't be any doubt,
You're so wonderful to think of,
But so hard to be without.

Well here we are again on your birthday and you are not here. I am selfish for wanting to hear your voice, but the truth is I know you are at peace. As I told your girls tonight...”you have an angel in heaven watching over you”.  Happy Heavenly Birthday

Tracy and Shane,
I know you miss Mike everyday. Prayers for you and Mikes children and wife. The last time I saw him is when your Dad died. He was a great guy.

Mike, still can't' believe you are gone. You were one of the best. I can still see that sweet smile that always seemed to be present, and hear that southern twinged voice. You are missed greatly, and a big hole is left in all of our hearts without you. Rest in peace

Mike you were a good man to work with. You always had our back and I know you will be missed. You are looking down on your family and taking care of them. I just wish we could have told you how much you meant to all of us.

Wishing you and your family peace. May you always know what a presence you were in my life. I know you are so proud of your girls. Glad we talked and shared so many memories! I hope your girls know what a great and thoughtful father you were and what they meant to you! My love and condolences are with your family.

Someone once said "Time is perhaps our most precious commodity, and once it passes, it is lost forever". While this is true, I do believe that the people like Mike can never be considered as “gone”. They are alive forever due to their profound impact on those left behind. Although I only met him a few times, it was obvious from the beginning that he was kind, generous, and simply put…real! It’s often hard for me to connect with people, but that was never the case with Mike. This was the effect he had on people. It was his simplicity and candidness. He touched so many people too many times by simply being himself. I loved listening to Mike and Tracy as they shared stories of their childhood memories and even talked about “grown up” dreams. Their personalities were soo different, yet they shared a special bond that only a brother and sister can understand. To Sharon, Rachel, Megan, and Tracy, please accept my heartfelt condolences and know my thoughts and prayers are with you always. The world has lost a generous heart and he will be missed by many. ~ Beth Dunaway

Mike,
Although we didn't see each other recently, I often thought of you. You were one who always was willing to support me, help me and guide me. You were a trustworthy, honest and wonderful person to be around.I am certain that you will realize just how much you were loved by so many! I believe that we will meet again and I am truly looking forward to it. God Bless you.

Riding high on the crest of waves, clipping through the uncharted isles, gliding gently through the depths for days where the peaceful currents flow. I hope my thoughts will find you as you cruise some foreign coast.
With heavy hearts we will miss you.

Mike. Words cannot express the loss of a great friend like you. I have known you since I started working with you 13 years ago. You always had a smile on your face. We shared many laughs. I hope you find peace up above. You will be greatly missed my friend.

Rest in peace. I know the journey hasn't been easy. You were a good man and will be deeply missed by many. You were someone that we could always count on and would give a stranger the shirt off your back. I'm honored to have served with you. Godspeed.

Though I now know I did not know you well enough, however, I do know you were kind and personally interested in others. I am saddened to have not had the opportunity to have known you better. As you first addressed me as brother, I address you.  Brother, trusting you are at peace in the company of our creator.

I remember writing to Michael while he was stationed on the carrier. He was my daddy's oldest nephew and a great person. I know we all hate to see him go and know he will be missed. Lots of loves from the Cross Family.

My heart aches. Words can't describe the sadness I feel at knowing that you are gone. You were a great friend, a great officer and just a genuine guy. You will be greatly missed but never forgotten. I pray that you are finally at peace. I know how difficult your journey of life had been. Rest in peace my friend. Godspeed.

He will be missed

April 27, 2016

Mike was my immigration training officer as well. He was so down to earth and laid back. He took the stress of starting a new job away. He was so proud of his daughters, always so proud of their equestrian accomplishments and he often pulled up pictures of his daughters on his phone to share with a huge smile on his face. He looked forward to spending time with them and watching them ride their horses. . He was very knowledgeable and  was my go to guy for immigration questions . He will be dearly missed.

Mentor

April 27, 2016

I first met Mike my first week back from the academy. He was my immigration mentor and a great one. At that time I had a two hour commute to work. My husband would drop me off at work and then scout the area for places to live. I will never forget Mike asking me " Where's your GUN?" I had left the lock box in the truck of the car...my husband had already left. What a way to start off my new job right. Mike walked away didn't say anything. My thoughts were he went to notify the supervisor.  When he came back he handed me his car keys and said " I'll cover for you, you go get your gun". He was that guy that would always have your back! Rest In peace  brother, your watch is over.
