I miss you so much, Dad.
It is only until this moment that I can be calm enough to write these thoughts. When I was just 3 or so, I remember thinking that Mikey was the most gentle and beautiful being I had ever seen. So no matter what, I would be there. And it was the same for him with me. We stayed close and time apart never meant anything to us. There is no way to quantify our love for each other. There is only the hope of being with him again someday. Do you know, I had more love and respect for my Mikey than anyone in my life. That love gives me the strength I need to face this each day. And now the part of us I cherished all my life was taken from me. Not Goodbye. It’s more like, I hope to see you soon. Thanks for reading and to all the loving people who shared so much and gave all of our family the immeasurable kindness. Peace.
My dearest sympathy. I knew Mikey growing up and have many memories. He always had a zest for life and the gumption to experience it. Many prayers and am honored to have shared memories in our childhood.
Steve, brother and always a great one to Mike. I Truly feel your lose for him. In the youth of our time we certainly shared some crazy, simple yet timeless moments. My memories resonate to the core of my soul at this time of his passing. How and why we lost touch with one another is certainly a measure and lack of true reason to keep and share what more we may have to know and tell of a life. Always chariest what you have and love for time will always remind you of what you had and what we will inevitability lose. I feel for the all the souls that he knew, touched and loved. My GOD Bless you and the whole family. Sincerely with love and sympathy for you all.
Condolences to the family.Ekim Magellan.
