I willnever forget the time you and some of the other ids were riding the motor cic. Mike went down by the pond and we did not know it.  I looked for him  he was up to his waste in mud or quick sand and sinking .we went down  i too his hand they held  my other had by this time it was almost up to his neck. with a little help we got him out.He was full of mud seems like yesterday also the car he made me a Willis story behind that.  13 years since you passed Mike  it seems like yesterday

This is similar to the solar halo that appeared when Mike and JoJo said the prayer before Michael's last ride.  I'd never seen anything like it before and haven't seen it since.  

You're right, Mary.  We'll never forget it.  Mike was about 11 or 12 since Matt was about 1-1/2.   One of the reasons I won't forget it --- the people at the ER thought I was his mother -- I was only 19 or 20!  Michael would be the first to admit that impatience got him again.  I didn't color any eggs but took Bear up to the Mission for a short walk.  He enjoyed it and we met some interesting people.

Michael always loved each and every Holiday. I dont remember how old Mike was but this is an Easter memory Mikes Family will never forget. Poor little Mike wanted to dye the Easter Eggs and he could not wait for some help as we were all talking and not really paying too much attention to him. So he decided to make the Easter eggs himself. He was moving the pan of hot eggs and spilled the entire pot of hot water all over himself. He was burned very badly that night. It was not a good memory but a memory nontheless. It was a long recovery.

Anyway Mike i thought of you today and even colored a special easter egg for you. You are always watching over your loved ones and I Know you will continue to. I wish you were here for Easter but I know you are up there looking down and probably dying all kinds of Easter eggs right now. And eating lots of chocolate bunnies. Love and miss ya Mike!! Mary

 So many adjectives come to mind with memories of our precious youngest son. determined,devoted, neat,organized,strong,are just a few. His last 10 months of life truly defined who he was,as he bravely fought the monster which would ultimately claim his life.

  No matter how many days,weeks,months or years pass,we will always love and miss  him so, and the pain remains indescribable !
