Just another year closer to seeing you Mike. And another year of missing you. Can't believe you have been gone so long..... God Bless you and keep you in his arms. I love you.

The years just keep moving on and I still miss you buddy...The cards you gave me with all the beautiful words, cover the corners of my house to remind me of the love we shared...and the heart aches...That your pain WAS my pain. Dear God, please let me hold my brothers hand again as we run thru green grass and dance in the rain. No one has loved me like you Michael...and I have loved no one like you. Our time on earth was too short yet so strong and hard. Wait for me brother....I'm coming...Sierra and I are together today....I know how much she meant to you. Thank you, Michael...Love you eternally....Big "D".

Sixteen years without your laughter, the sparkle in your eyes and the love you gave so generously to all you knew. I know you continue to watch over Sierra, as you promised. I feel you, I felt you as I lay by her on the pavement. I even asked for you out loud....unashamed that I continue to love you daily.....in times of sadness and in times of laughter. Today, I feel my heart breaking....I look at your photo, I read the cards you wrote and I am reminded that this brother/sister bond will never, never be broken. I pray your with David, Mom, Dad and Michele happy in heaven & in peace...eternally, your sister, Diane~

My brother, my friend.....life has been so unkind. How I wish we could talk again like we used to. I sometimes think you are in a better place...you were just too loving, too kind to be on this planet. I would never want you to feel the pain now. You had enough pain, I know Mike...I understand...but still I miss you so very much. You are one of the greatest men, I have ever known....I love you, I cry for you.....

So many years Michael.....yet still my soul searches for you.....in every cloud, every rainstorm and even in the smallest ray of sunshine. No regretts Mike ....yes, no regretts...........Our love & our bond was never hidden. Niether of us were left with unanswered questions my brother. I will catch you Michael...someday, I will hold you again in silent peace. Forever, you have my heart in your hands.........

Oh Michael, I face another day with out you......the gut wrenching pain, the silence in my laughter, the never ending flow of tears that stain my life.I fall to the ground with my heart crashing into a thousand pieces..
I tried to save you Michael but in the end, all I could do was love you with every cell in my body. Fire Chief and friend to all, a gift from God.

Mike, sorry we lost touch after finishing Firefighter School in the Air Force. I have such fond memories of growing up as friends, playing baseball together, high school, great times. Rest in Peace my friend.
