A Birthday Note to Michael



Michael! Twenty eight years with your family just wasn’t enough. We love you son and want you back. We know that’s not possible but we want you to know how we feel. Mom and I have been crying at the kitchen table every day since you left us. We hope our terrible feelings will ease a bit over time; we’re just not sure now, how that will happen. There are no words to tell you the depth of our sorrow that you’re not here with us all.



We see and talk to Jen almost every day. You need to know that she is grieving for you as hard as any human can. She misses you disparately as we all do.



We’re going through all the grieving stages now. From anger at you leaving us the way you did, to intense lonliness because we know you’re not coming home, to the horrible sadness at our loss of you, to the physical pain that goes with such a terrible loss. We realize Michael, that you are now finally at peace and for that we are thankful but son, had you been able to stick it out here with us, your life would have gotten so much better in time.



Well Michael, this is a birthday message to you and we all do wish you a happy birthday. To do otherwise would be to not celebrate your 28 years of life and we will never do that. So Michael, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SON, and you will have many more! We love you with all our hearts and give Jimmy, Aunt Mary, Grandma, Grandpa, Grandpa Panko, Grandma and Grandpa Lowry big hugs and kisses from us all.



We love you Michael,



Mom and Dad

I dont quite have the words to say everything I want to. But I am so sorry for the families loss. We all loved Mike more than words could ever say. I LOVED him. We need to stick together, and eventually we will heal. I love you all!

TO LOWRY, HAHN,CRAMEN FAMILIES&JEN

IT IS SO VERY DIFFICULT TO LET OUR LOVES ONES GO, BUT THEY ARE NOW IN A PERFECT PLACE, AND THAT IS COMFORTING TO KNOW. OUR HEARTS WILL SURELY MISS THEM, BUT WE MISS THEM WITH A SMILE. TRUSTING WE WILL SEE THEM ONCE AGAIN, WHEN IT IS OUR TIME TO GO. WE CLOSE OUR EYES AND PICTURE A WORLD THAT HOLDS NO PAIN, A PARADISE OF JOY AND HOPE AS GENTLE AS THE RAIN. THERE WE SEE OUR LOVED ONES (JIMMY & MIKE).THEY ARE SUFFERING NO MORE. IT ENDED WHEN THEY FOUND THE KEY, THAT OPENED HEAVEN'S DOOR. WHEN SOME ONE YOU LOVE BECOMES A MEMORY, THAT MEMORY BECOMES A TREASURE. MAKE YOURSELF FAMILIAR WITH THEM AS ANGELS NOW AND HOLD THEM FREQUENTLY IN SPIRIT. FOR WITHOUT BEING SEEN, THEY ARE PRESENT WITH ALL OF US.



I REQUEST THAT THIS GETS READ BY THE ENTIRE FAMILY.



DEEPEST SYMPATHY,

LISA & PAIGE HAHN

& ARNOLD FAMILY
