Love ~ forever and a day, my dearest friend

Much love to youTeri today and always. I can still bring up Mikes
infectious smile and childish laugh, he was a dear friend.

My first nephew, Mike will always be special to me. His smile could light up the room, his sense of humor was reassuring, his drive to connect was palpable. He is missed.

Still thinking of you!

Teri,
Thank you for making Mike feel loved and restoring his faith in the importance of family. I am forever indebted to you for providing him with such a loving heart.

The words I love you Michael, flow freely off of you tongue.
The words I love you Teri flow equally ….
Miss you both in different worlds.

Dear Teri, The only thing I can add to all the beautiful, heartfelt messages is AMEN. Love. Jody

We miss Mike T more than words can say. He was the most generous, kind, loving, knowledgeable (about everything lol) friend. Thank you, Mike, for the wonderful memories, especially of our joint family trip to Cozumel--the best of times for sure!. We are still thinking about you all of the time. Love you, Teri-- can't wait to see you again.

Thought of you today. "Don't be mediocre, Joachim! You hear me?"
Indeed an attitude you never were for me. I won't forget this and you Mike.
We will meet again, of that I am sure.

Yours,
Joachim

Do I miss Michael, absolutely !
Will I ever forget his infectious smile and laugh, not a chance.
Can I ever stop sharing with others the hilarious times we experienced together; never …. (but not here !!!!!)
Love you Teri

.....Thinking of you, Michael. I hear your laugh. I see your smile. I feel your bear-hug. Let your beloved Tomi feel your love every single day; she misses you so. We all do. Love. Love.

Mike was born one week after his grandparents and I returned from a two month camping trip to Alaska. He was my first nephew. I was eight and I was thrilled. His smile every time I saw him elicited that first feeling of excitement. He was truly a light for his friends and family.

What I remember: Michael had the biggest heart, the most genuine smile, the warmest hugs, the most jovial laugh, and adored his wife. Tomi, he is with you and blanketing you with his continued love. And he is with his boy, playing and making up for lost time..... Love. Love. Love to all of you.....

"will feel the intensity with which Mike lived always and regret that I never knew Stephen, the light of his life.

Thank you for being the best host father. Thank you for inspiring me not only whilst staying with you but also long-term. Thank you for being challenging at times. Thank you for showing me new sides in life. You will not be forgotten.

I can't believe it's been a year since you have gone to heaven and get to be not only with Stephan and those you loved that have passed also but Jesus too.

Though your thought of daily and missed down here I'm glad that you don't have to deal with any aggravation down here. That you have eternal life that we all are looking forward to getting to have one day and seeing you again too. Love ya Mike :).

David and I were lucky to have been friend's with Mike and still with Teri. He was so very pasionet about living life and I admired him and still do . Thank you Mike.
You will be sorly missed by so many down here, but I have comfort in knowing that not only are you with Stephen but able to help Teri and other's down here more than you did when you were here.

In a lifetime we are gifted with a select few individuals that nourish our existence here; who guide us in the direction of true giving and understanding the art of sharing love. Michael was one of those incredible guides, he will always live in my heart . All my love and sorrow shared with you Teri.

Mike was absolutely one of the good ones & always made things better just by being around. He was so funny & could cheer up any situation. He was brilliant & had a very intelligent grasp on how to make life great. He was someone who you wanted to get to know because of the warm welcome he gave with his smile. He wanted everyone he loved to be happy & worked to make it happen. So Sorry Teri

The world has lost a gentle giant. Michael will be sorely missed, but never forgotten. I know you are watching over all of us now, Mike. Teri, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Will love you, my best friend, forever ~ and a day....... Give Stephen a big hug and kiss for me... Send me some strength ~ please. XXOXOOOOXXXOOOXO

So sorry that this could happen to such a wonderful person. All my sympathy to Teri.
