Uncle Mike its your Danny Boy. I'm here to say, I love you even after your dying day. The hardest days of my life are August eigth and ninth.The days of very special ones in my life. No matter what, you two are always on my mind. You are with Grandma so I know you are doing just fine. You have no more pain or hurt, so maybe you had to go. We all will always love , remember and miss you very much. One day we'll be back together and happy forever.

I'll always love and remember you.

Michael, I miss you so very much. You touched so many people's lives and hearts. You were the kindest, sweetest, most caring, gentle, giving and loveing man God ever put on this earth. You were the first man to ever send me flowers and the first man who really touched my heart. You will always be my Kupie and I will be your Pookie, no distance on earth could ever change that and no distance between heaven and earth will either. I love you!

Dear Michael,

I only met you a few times, but you always had a wonderful smile. You would share your smile with who ever was near you. I know your sister Angie loved you more than I think you even knew. I am glad to hear you are with your mother again, give her a hug for all who miss her here. Hope to see you some day.

Your friend,

Missie

Well, lil one I guess the journey has just begun for you on your path. I will miss you. But, I know that we will walk another path again. I hope that peace is found when someone speaks your name. Understanding when memories of your smile pass their thoughts. Bring love when your voice echos through time. Hope when thoughts of your laughter is heard.

Love and peace my lil brother,



Until we walk again,

You Big Brother Jimmy
