"Dearest Mika.
Yesterday was so healing for me and for so many.
What a tribute to your amazing outpouring of love my Son, and now and forever will be proud to have known you, loved you and to have been loved by you.
Yet I will miss you in the quiet hours of the morning when all is quiet and I can still hear your laughter,
bye baby <3"

"I didn't know Mika very well but I do know that I had a huge amount of respect for him when he stood up for his friend Eliza by sending me a message on facebook. I loved being around his laughter that filled the room. I wish that the world had more time to fall in love with him. You are loved and missed."

"We only met once and we made one another laugh...what a really sweet way to remember someone by. I'm glad to know whatever pain you had is now gone, but I know you will forever live on in the hearts of people who knew you. Peace Mika!"

"I miss you Mr. Mika."

"to stranger I never knew but someday  We will all know ecah 0ther  up in heavens with christ himself. May the days be filled with  sorror and  sadness, yet the years be filled with  joy and happyness. May there be many rainbows  in the sky dancing all around  and the circle of  friend ship be strong as ever strong is it good by no, its seeya for now.  hush now  its time to rest. its ok to go."

"Mika, I planted a tree for you in my front yard.  It's the perfect Mika tree in the perfect spot.  Thank you for years of laughter and love.  You are loved and missed by so many people.  Still, I struggle with not being able to talk to you.  Time heals and I will enjoy watching you grow up the next 10- 15 years.  I love you and at the moment, I am sorta lost without your energy on this planet."

"When he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.
-William Shakespeare"

"Mika, my friend.  It is still so very hard to believe that you have left us.  Not by choice,  but because someone else higher up needed your wit, humor, courage, and love.  I didn't get the chance to know you that well, but in the short time we knew each other,  you made things so easy. In the 2 times we saw each other face to face,  you knew how to make me smile and laugh.  You will be missed."

"My beautiful friend! I love you so much and hold you so dear in my heart... You always made me laugh , I love you so much and you will be missed!!!!"

"I miss your laugh and jokes!  You brought a light into any room you entered.  I love you very much and will miss you always.  Enjoy your new found peace.  I look forward to our quiet moments together.  Miss you, greatly!"

"Mika, the only two words that can describe how I am feeling right now is "thank you." Thank you for your friendship, thank you for your time you gave me, thank you for your smiles, thank you for your jokes...just thank you. You had a huge heart that jumped through a lot of hoops to help someone. I won't forget the time, unfortunately as short as it was, I had the pleasure of knowing you."

"I still can't believe it's true. You are way too young to be taken from us. I'm so very thankful that we met and that we worked things out and started fresh before it was too late. That is the best gift you could have given me and I'm so grateful to you. I only wish we'd have had more time to hang out again soon as we'd planned. Sleep peacefully and rest easy knowing I will take care of your "wife" for you, aka Our Amy. ;-) We will miss you terribly but will see you again someday. Thank you for being such an amazing friend to those of us who had the privilege of knowing you. ♥"

"Mika, it was you who gave my breath and strength during a dark time in my life. When I thought I was forever broken, it was you who mended me back.  Your kind words and amazing touch will always be with me. You are such a beautiful soul and I will miss you for all my days.  You are among the Angels now. I love you friend!"

"Mika, you were a good babysitter of my granddaughter and a good man and a kind person and good to her and my daughter.  I am so sorry you were taken so early.  Love, Pat Greenhill"

"Mika, my best friend, my brother, my baby's favorite "Auntie Mika" you have been my best friend when I felt I had no one, you've been my laughter when all I could do was cry, you've been my light when all I saw was darkness....I will miss you more than words could ever explain and I can only pray that you are happy and feeling great and smiling down on all of us who love you so dearly...I LOVE YOU"

"I will care for your dear April forever. She loves you more than you know. You left us much too soon. There will not be a day that goes by that we will not think of you precious Mika."

"From the day we met we shared a special bond. Thank you Mika for all the inspiration and your beautiful smile. My heart and my house both feel very empty now, but I know you are now a guardian angel watching over us all.
Words cannot describe how much I love you, but you know. :)"

"Mika...  i'm lost with words...  we have been through so much together in our lifes...  we came so far as well..  u helped give me the courage to love myself and accept myself for me and who i was...  we called each other sistah's for a reason and i will never forget u.. knowing u in the past then rejoining our lifes together in the recovery room was a joy...  i miss u and im sorry i hadnt been there lately...  i love ya always and i'll see u oneday...  say hello to our friends that have passed that u find up there..  huggs and loves sistah...

"You where the rea of light that walked into the room. As you would walk in everyone new you where there... you always made sure of that with your hello to all... I just got my first "hello" with you this last March but with that you made me laugh cry and love more since. Jason is lost for words, he loved you. I dont no how but you made such a worldly change in him in so many ways.."

"Thank Mika for the Love and Friendship you shared with my family!! Our lives will be forever changed by it!! You eased a mothers heart in a way you will never know and I will be forever grateful!! Thank You for sharing your life with us!! God Bless You As You Soar Now With The Angels! RIP My Dear Son!!"

RIP MIKA"

"Mika, I loved you more and more with every phone call. Though I never got the chance to feel your arms wrap around me in a friendly embrace, your words touched my heart forever! I really miss you! See you one day my friend. Rest in Peace! xoxo Love you! ~Jakey."

"I love you with all my world Mika, I was so happy the day we found each other and even more blessed the day we found dad, I am so glad that you got to close that chapter in your life before leaving us. I will miss you so so much and I know that you knew that. You have meant the world to us. I love you little bro"

"I know we didn't get to spend the time together that we both wanted. You have touched me and my kids life in such a way. That we will never forget you. We love you, And you will be greatly missed. good-bye my friend. Be free and fly."

"Although I didn't know you very long, you enhanced my life with your humor and self confidence. The force of nature known as Mika is the exact description of you bro. To all who knew you there lives will be forever changed in the best possible ways for knowing you. We will never forget the force of nature known as MIKA."

"I only knew you for a short time, but it felt like forever. I enjoyed hanging out with you and always thought of you...I will miss you!"

"If anyone would like to submit a photo to add but don't want to create an account on here to do so, please feel free to send to my email shieldwolf66@gmail.com and I will load it up for you."

"Mika had a passion for animals.  He loved my horses like they were his own.  We would spend hours in the pasture just talking, laughing, loving on the horses.  He was such a joy, even when he was frustrated.  Always had that bright smile and that lovable laugh.  He was a brother to me, and a support system when I had no one.  He was always up for hanging out and a good drink.  I love you, Mika..."

"I  miss you Mika and I love you...wish I could have told you how much you gave me laughter and unconditional love. we laughed loudly and thank u for letting me stay in ur room in the danmore on the 3rd floor when I didnt want to be alone in mine on the fourth...Im sorry I didnt call you more and tell u all the things that were important. I love you (missyZ)"

"I loved you more then you ever knew.  Finally you can be peaceful with yourself and the world, no more pain, no more fear, no more unknown horizons.  The force of nature known as Mika is now a quiet breeze of our memories.  I love you very much and will miss you babe.  Now it is your turn to protect and watch over those you love, you have completed your wings."
