Michael, it's been so very long since you left your family and friends. 8 long years now, but you're never forgotten, not ever. I miss our talks, our friendship. May you always rest in peace. Always in my heart, Cheryl

Hi Michael, Its only been a few months since you were taken from all of us. I find the days, nights, weeks, are just not the same without you here. I dont stay in touch with many, seems they only wish to spend time with the chosen few. Few of your friends have finally done the right thing. And I am so hoping in my heart, and with the lingering thoughts of you, that it stays that way. I am still so sad, still have my moments, why Michael? I miss you terribly. I cant talk to anyone about my feelings, as it seems noone is there to listen anymore. I do know, for me you were like my very own son, I could call you, and talk to you about anything. You got me though a very bad time when Kyle was in jail. The only one who really gave a damned about me, and Kyle. Of course, I wont ever forget your Mom, how she got me a birthday cake last year, and you brought it to me. And, Kelly I havent spoken to her since I last saw you. Its very difficult. Kyle is finally moving in August. Its best he start fresh hasnt been the same since you left him. Michael, know always there isnt a day that goes by, that you arent in my thoughts. I just wish so much that you had called me, came to me, I would of came and got you. You know that!! Forever Michael in my prayers and my heart.. miss you.. RIP 4/9/2011

Michael, Where to begin. We had some awesome times together my man. I remember all the times fishing and breaking curfew and mom yelling at us cause we were being stupid. I remember staying up late, smoking mad dutches, bumping the music real loud and not giving a fuck about whoever it pissed off. I'll never be able to play Call of Duty or go fishing with you but I'll think of you every time buddy. I miss you so much every day it almost kills me. I lost not only a friend but a brother. I love you Michael please keep a seat warm for me I'll see you someday here and we can kick it again just like we used to. Only the good die young, and only he can judge you now. Goodbye Michael.
