Michael Tobin Obituary

Jocelyn, I can imagine young Michael up in heaven giving them all a run for their money. Your red-headed angel loved you so. You are in my prayers this week.

You are missed Michael. Forever in our thoughts and prayers.

Hello all Tobin family...Sorry it has taken so long to write..hopefully and i am sure jt checks this all the time.Never in my life have I ever been graced in the presence of such a beautiful child!!He always had a smile on his face, everytime he saw me....just like his mom.Now he is a little red headed angel...that eveyday I pray he is always and forever in my prayers...I miss u soooooo much lil mikey. I love you Tobin Family

I have memories in my pocket.

They rattle among the change.



My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.



They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole

They give me comfort when I think I am alone.



Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.



But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

If you continue to grow on us like you have, you'll no longer be "Little" Mike.



Clearly, your profound effects on our lives grow wider and deeper as we more fully understand and appreciate the true nature of this crazy thing called "life".



Too many people never get -- or give -- much love in their lives. You did a lot of both, and got the rest of us to pay a bit more attention to that sort of thing.



Thanks also for your poignant reminder: whether its time, money, whatever, it's not how much we got but rather what we do with it. Your making the best of yours challenges us to try hard(er) to do the same.

Happy birthday, Mikey!

I know Aunt Moi had a great party for you in heaven, and everybody was there. Your grandpa, Pat Flaherty, everybody sang to you. We were singing to you down here, too. We miss you so much, but we feel your presence daily. I keep your picture on my dresser and see your smiling face every morning.

Love and misses,

Aunt Noreen

Happy Birthday Son, this time 3yrs ago we were preparing for you, it was in fact the best day of my life. I watch you grow in my mind, I miss you so much, there is so much to say and I thank you for being near me when I need that calm. I love you Mikey, you are my inspiration! be good Papa te amo!

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams; it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful.

Strive to be happy.

hello i know it has been a while, but i do want to say you and your family are still in my prayers. thinking of you guys always! ms shaun

Jocelyn, Linda, Papa, and Audra,



I just wanted you guys to know that I think about Michael alll the time. I rememeber his red hair and his beautiful eyes and his smile that lite up a whole room. He was one of the first children i had when I started at the daycare. I remember my first day I started he sat in my lap and we read barney. I was just thinking of him and all the goodtimes we spent together. I hope you guys are doing good. If you guys need anything please feel free to write or call me. I hope to hear from you guys soon.

Jocelyn, Mike(Papa),Linda and Audra



A day does not pass that I dont think of you and Michael. I never could have imagined how much love and joy that Michael brought into my life each day when I walked into our classroom. I miss how he would run to me to say hi everyday hitting me in that perfect spot that made me grab something to hold my balance. I hold on to that smile that I can so easily picture in my mind.



Love Miss Dynesha

Mike, Lynda, Jocelyn & Audra -



Like little Mike, the rest of us are still with you -- sending love and support as you work through the smiles and tears that even happy memories bring.



One of the great ironies of life is that we appreciate least what we have and best that which we have no longer.



It is a small consolation that Mikee's brief flight through our lives makes us all the more grateful to those who remain close to us, in body and/or in spirit.



As in all of life's adversities, there is no greater challege than to keep going, but no greater wish would he have for you & us: to do for others what was done so generously for him.



from his

GREAT(!!) Uncle(s)

Mikey, I miss you son, I miss the thought of watching you grow up, what would you have become a fireman, baseball player perhaps maybe even a plumber :O) I wish things would have been different papa but I know you are in better place. I love you boy so be good, I can feel you near sometimes thank you for watching over me and thank you for letting me have the priveledge to be called your "Da"!

Mike, Linda, Jocelyn, and Audra,



You'll always be in our thoughts and prayers. Words cannot express our gratitude for the memories you have given us over the years, and the fun times we experienced through a common love of softball. You were always like a second family for Megan during those long travels and trips. We will miss our little fan dearly, and we offer you all the love and support that you may need.

Jocelyn, Mike, Lynda & Audra



Can it be only a month that little Mikey left us? Time has crept by so slowly - and yet too fast. I see him all the time, in the faces of other 2 year olds, especially if they have red hair. Thank you so much for opening up your hearts and minds to us, because that's been our lifeline in coping with his loss. A woman came up to me at the children's Xmas concert at church yesterday and said, "I heard about little Mike...I'm so sorry..." His fame has spread far and wide. He did much in his short time on earth. May we all live such perfect lives.



All my love,

Noreen

Omar and Mendez family,



I am so sorry and saddened to hear of the loss of your son Michael. I know you loved him very much. James and I send our deepest condolences to you and your family.

Omar,

I can just picture your son watching over you, so proud of how strong you have been. Smiling every time you tell stories of him, and reaching out to you every time the unbearable pain comes. Find comfort through him, Michael will always be with you. I know there is nothing I can say or do that will bring any peace to you, cause only time will help heal your soul, but please remember that I will always be here for you. Love you.

Dear lil' Mikey,

Your mom once told me (about 2 dozen times) that you were "the best thing she had ever done in her entire life". I'd never heard a mom say that before. Even when her eyes were tired, they sparkled when she talked about you. How lovely she was when she bragged about her 'red-head'.



I have never seen a kid laugh out loud like you!! What a great life she gave you. She worked hard to love you and keep you safe, we all know. She misses you.



Jocelyn, You are incredible. Your passion and strength is amazing. I don't know anyone else in the world like you. Please keep smiling.

Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi





Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love;

where there is injury,pardon;

where there is doubt, faith;

where there is despair, hope;

where there is darkness, light;

and where there is sadness, joy.





O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek

to be consoled as to console;

to be understood as to understand;

to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;

it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;

and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.



Amen

Nights are long since you went away.

I think about you all thru the day.



My buddy ..

My buddy ..



No body quite so true -

Miss your voice, the touch of your hand.



Just long to know that you understand.



My buddy ..

My buddy ..



Your buddy misses you.

Jocelyn,



It's been a long time since we were in touch. At least 10 years or so... but I was very saddened to hear about your son's death. I know you are devastated and this time of year doesn't make things any easier. Please know that I am thinking of you and hope you find peace in your own way.



Fondly,

Emily Foley

Jocelyn,

I send my deepest condolences to you and your family during this difficult time. Just continue to be the strong person you are and may God bless you and your family.

Dear Tobin Family,

My heart goes out to you family for the loss of Michael. When I saw the picture of him in the newspaper, it just melted my heart. I have a son who is about the same age and looks just like Michael. I'm truly sorry for your loss.

Jim Smith

Our sincere condolences on the loss of your son Michael. We lost our infant son on October 15, 2005. We also had the service at St. Giles in Oak Park with Father Hal Stanger. We pray that God will guide you through this difficult time.

Jocelyn,

I am so sorry that I was not able to come into town to see you last week but I was definitley there in spirit. My dad said that you were in fact doing quite well, and I was so happy to hear that. I think about little Mikey up there, and I can't think of anything better than the sight of Moi and Mikey, "our two redheads" as my dad likes to say, having a grand ole time. You have been a wonderful inspiration to all of us, and a great example of faith and endurance as well. My prayers are with you, and I love you so much.

Dear Jocelyn,Lynda Michael and Audra,

I have thought about what to say to you since I had heard about little Michael and I still do not know what to say.. Although what I experienced during the heartfelt celebration of Michaels life is that it may of been short, but it could not have been filled with any more love then you gave him and he gave back in return. He was a cherished child. Please try to keep those times in your heart and he will always be with you. I do not have any idea of the pain you are all feeling. It is beyond my comprehension. I just wanted to let you know you are in our hearts and in our minds always. And remember Michael has another godfather up in heaven also looking after him.

All our love,

Pam and Dennis

Dear Tobin Family,

My son is a friend of Katie Drake's son, Timmy. My heart breaks for your loss. Hang in there during this difficult time, be gentle with yourself, and know many people are praying for you.

Jocelyn,



I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Jocelyn- My deepest sympathy to you and your family. What a beautiful little boy. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am Casey Spaccarelli's sister in California. Casey e-mailed me regarding Michael. I am so sorry. We will pray for your entire family out here in California.

Prayers of the Faithful



We thank you Lord, for the lessons Michael taught us about LAUGHTER,

the power of a smiling face, a positive attitude

and the happiness that love brings into our lives;



We thank you Lord, for the lessons Michael taught us about POSSIBILITIES,

growing from past experiences,

finding magic in the present moment,

and discovering the hope we need to face the future;



We thank you Lord, for the lessons Michael taught us about HUMILITY,

reminding us to behave when we otherwise might not,

listen when we might rather talk,

and learn what we think we need to teach;



We thank you Lord, for the lessons Michael taught us about FORGIVENESS,

about turning the other cheek,

and not being the one to throw the first stone … or the second or third ones either;



We thank you Lord, for the lessons Michael taught us about COURAGE,

the importance of bouncing back,

and renewing our capacity to face the unknown

and the unexpected;



We thank you Lord, for the lessons Michael taught us about GRATITUDE,

appreciating the blessings each new life brings

as the most precious of God’s gifts;



We thank you Lord, for the lessons Michael taught us about STRENGTH,

that we may overcome the adversities

that often accompany life’s most wondrous joys …



We thank you Lord, for the lessons Michael taught us about ACCEPTANCE,

… of the Mysteries of Life beyond our comprehension

… of the Facts of Life that defy our understanding

… of the Meanings of Life that are yet to be revealed.



We thank you Lord, for the lessons Michael taught us about BOUNDARIES,

they’re not as big as they look,

they mark not our limits, but our capabilities.

May we not see them as walls, but as bridges.



We thank you Lord, for the lessons Michael’s life teaches us.

He reminds us that life is measured

not by how long it lasts, or what we achieve

but by how much we love and are loved.



Like a comet across the heavens, Michael is a shooting star

who leaves his bright and shining light to guide us.

Forever young, Michael will always live in our hearts.

Jocelyn baby, I've started this entry a dozen times and I've not been successful -- until now.



You know how much you mean to me and you know how much I love Michael. I don't even know where to begin, but I'll try.



Let me start with how terribly sad I am that our little Michael has left us on this level. I know that on another level, Moira, your Grandfather, my Dad (Ross) and many other of our family members have met him in Heaven and are taking care of him -- even spoiling him. Perhaps in my father's case, even fishing with him and teaching him the rules of football and hockey -- he always wanted a son.



Michael was one lucky little guy to have a loving mom like you. And you were very lucky to have the time you had with a great little guy like him. My, how he loved you and how you loved him. Thank you for letting me hold him, love him and kiss him all over when we were in Chicago. I am so very proud to be your aunt and Michael's aunt.



I'm sorry that the kids and I couldn't make it back to Chicago, but we sent Uncle David as our representative. I have heard from Uncle David that the service was amazing and that you not only showed grace under tremendous pressure, but that you were inspirational. I only wish that I could have been there to hug you, kiss you, and hold you. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you from so far away. You are in my thoughts and prayers.



Lynda, Mike and Audra, I love you. I'm sending you hugs and kisses, too.



love,



Aunt Diane, Kevin and Erin

Jocelyn,

Words cannot express how deeply saddened I am for you and your family during this time. I hope you can find some comfort in knowing that your friends and family are all around you to support you.



I have no doubt that your little angel is watching happily from above! May you always remember the lifetime of beautiful memories you created together!



Sincerely,

Jenny McCabe

Jocelyn, Lynda, Mike, & Audra,

I'm not sure exactly what to say. All I can do is tell you that I am inspired by your strength and have so much respect for you all. I feel what we have to look at is that Michael's life was not for himself, but he was God's instrument to teach us lessons in life that we are too old and bombarded with other things to even think about. He gave us a certain perspective on things we could not have gotten from anyone else. He is still teaching us even after his life on earth. I am truly greatful to your family for letting me be a part of your lives. I love you all and want you to know you have a great support system from all over.

Jocelyn, you have shown such poise and grace during this time. You are such a wonderful example to all of us ... the loving mother we all aspire to be.



Our love is with you and Michael always,

Your aunt, Christine

Dear Joceylyn,



May choirs of angels welcome your son Michael Liam into paradise, and may you be comforted in the hope of resurrection and the warm embrace of many, many loving friends and family.



Katie Drake is a friend of mine. We all share your grief and wish you every imaginable blessing.

Jocelyn,

I am a friend of your cousin Katie Drake. She shared the tragic news and also shared what a wonderful mother you are and how much strength you have. Thank you for showing such unselfishness as a mother and for reminding us how precious life is. Please know that there are many people you don't know praying for you in this tragic time. May God give you the strength and blessings you need now and always!

Jocelyn,Mike,Linda,Audra: We were shocked and grieved to hear at Mass (not until Saturday night) of your loss. We will pray for all of you. We truly believe that Michael is now in eternal joy gazing at the face of God. With his adorable soul, he will be able to persuade the Lord to provide you with many miracles and one day even joy. Little Saint Michael has important work to do from heaven for all of you. Wait and see! Love, your neighbors, the Spaccarellis

With a splendor of color

Dropping leaves mark the season

Trees aren’t dying, they’re just changing

Only God knows the reason.



It’s by quality, not quantity

That a full life gets measured

It’s only real indication of value:

How much one is treasured.



By that token alone

Little Mike’s life is complete

His scoreboard-of-life tells

Of victory, not defeat.



How much is enough?

It’s not always our decision

Appreciating what we’ve got while we can

Requires some precision.



Not content to show the way

Young Mike now leads us there too

Leaving a path marked by love

That shows us what to do.



And so just as those trees

Will be reborn in the spring

Michael now lives on in our hearts

For him, our best we will bring.

I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this painful time.

God give you strength in this terrible time,May Michael be in the arms of Jesus Christ!!

I AM SO VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOST. I HAVE NEVER MEET YOU OR YOUR SON.JUST LOOKING AT THE PHOTO IN THE NEWS PAPER HE TOUCHED MY HEART GOD BLESS YOU.

Dear Tobin Family,

Michael was a big part in everyones lives. He touched all of our hearts. In fact I'll never forget when Audra was watching Michael and he just could not stop eating pizza, he had about 6 slices. He was the happiest little boy eating his pizza. He was my little boyfriend. If you need anything please contact me. You all are in our prayers.We love you!

I am deeply sorry for the loss of your beautiful little boy. He is in Heaven playing with my daughter Jordyn, I have no doubt.

Your son, your pride and joy, your "Little Man" will be in our hearts today and all the days to come. I consider myself fortunate to have heard your many family stories and tales of time spent with Michael. You are a wonderful mother with a heart of gold, whom I will treasure always. May God Bless you and your entire family. With All The Love In My Heart, Lisa

I JUST WANT TO SAY I KNOW THAT GOD HAS A VERY SPECIAL PLACE IN HEAVEN FOR MICHAEL,AND THAT ONE DAY YOU WILL BE TOGETHER AGAIN. I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. WITH LOVE AND A TEAR.

To the Tobin Family...

I cannot find the words to express the grief I feel since hearing of your loss. I don't believe there is much to say for such a tragic time of life. However, I know Michael made many people smile and come together on earth and he shall do the same in heaven. I will keep Michael and your family in my thoughts and prayers. You now have an extra angel on your side...God Bless Katie O'Brien

God what can I say? I'm(we) are so sorry.I love you guy's!

Dear Joyclin, Mike and Family,

I can't even begin to tell you how sorry I am, and how much i will miss seeing Michael at the store. He always brought a smile to my face and made my day. Saying im sorry doesnt even begin to tell you how I feel. Just know that My thoughts are with you and I'll never forget him.

Dear Jocelyn & family,

I heard about Michael through my sister in law Jennifer Popp. Let me just say how deeply sorry I am for your loss. I know there are no words to comfort you but just know people that don't even know you or your little Michael are deeply saddened by this tragedy. We will be thinking of all of you all day and we will be praying that God brings you comfort. God be with him now.

Sincerely, Vanessa Salas

God bless you and may you find some comfort knowing that their are countless friends, family and strangers who are keeping you close in thought. Sincerely, a friend of Margaret and Annie.

Michael Tobin was one of the sweetest children you will ever meet. His smile just lit up his whole face. We at the Gottlieb Childcare Center were very lucky to have had Michael in our lives. My daughter, Sophia Rose was with him since they were a year old and loved that little boy so much. I know that she, as well as I, will greatly miss him. God bless his mother, aunt and grandparents - they loved him so much and may god have Michael in his glory.

My heart aches for you and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Joc -- I'll never forget the call from your dad, letting us know about the biggest block party of the summer of '03: Michael's baptism party. And it was a blowout! We could hear the music a block away when we arrived that afternoon, and I think we were a few of the first to leave at midnight.



Thanks so much for bringing Michael into this world and for sharing him with all of us. He was a beautiful gift to your family, and now he's safe and happy with Moi and your grandfather Levatino... Can you imagine the trouble they're getting into up there? We love you! Marg, Shawn and Eddie

I'm so sorry. My Daughter is the Day Care Director and my Granddaughter was his friend. I met Michael and always loved his beautiful red hair. He is with God now. My prayers are with you.
