Your passing has left a great void in my life.Jordan and I will miss you dearly

To My Papa Mike,
I will miss you a great deal.  I always loved when I slept over your house.  You would always buy me things especially cookies, m&ms and whatever cereals I wanted.  You always let me play games on your computer.  I most enjoyed when you would take me out for lunch every day of my visit.   You were the best.  I love you.
Love your grandson,
Zachary

Papa, I miss you so much. I remember your playful, "10 yard penalty" and how we would take turns playing Arkanoid on your computer. I also remember how you'd take me to the coffee shop. I always argued that it was a restaurant. I gave you my oldest coin to show that you kindness and wisdom will live on with us.

From your grandson
                          -Jeremy

To My Miko,
My beloved husband you have now crossed over to the bridge of heaven.  Hopefully your soul is now calm and quiet with no more pain and discomfort.  I am at peace with that, but I bear a burden so strong that it is hard to go on without you.  By you leaving me, I am stranded in no mans land.  I feel alone, full of anxiety and sadness.  I will have no more anniversaries with you, no lasting friendships, and no more hugs.  We cannot talk together about lots of issues and understand our expressed thoughts.  I am but one, so lost without you.  In spite of our distances I will always love you forever in my heart.
Love always,
Spider

Uncle Michael, 
If there's one thing I will miss,  it's your voice,  I can always recognize it anywhere I am.  I remember  hanging out with you and my dad and just listening to the both of you talk.  I love you uncle Michael

Well Mike, this is my final farewell. I enjoyed our conversations and you always had kind words. I will miss you buddy.

I miss you already. I can't believe you are gone! I love you with all my heart. Here is a poem for you. 
In a moments eye

The days I remember sleeping over
It was a Thursday night like always 
You picking me up from daycare 
To the days where I came over after school 
Pizza and soup but only from the best places
As you knew them all!
Diners and Chinese restaurants and who can forget the coffee shop!
Your name should be engraved in that place
Food shopping and always making sure our menus were just right 
You never kept us waiting
From my Sweet Sixteen to my Honors Convocation at Cortland
You were always there and on every birthday you called
You always checked in to see how I was doing and always asked about my friends
You knew how to fill my stomach 
But most of all you knew how to fill my heart
Bachelor tapes and I can't forget your Cinnamon candies which I can't stand and was Told to stop buying them for you
But I never did 
You got them the Brachs or Walmart Kind! 
Then in a moments eye you were gone
Never got to say goodbye
Filling our hearts with many cries
You would never give up the fight
But there is always a shining light
You memory is deep within my mind
As our souls are in a bind
In a moments eye you were gone
But we all must keep going on

We love you more than words can say
And We see you in the bright Suns rays
We celebrate your life 
In our deepest strife
You are our world and always will
Be
We will make you proud you will see

Headed in new directions with multiple opportunities
But you will travel with me
I will always see
In a moments eye you were gone
But In my heart you will return 

Love you Papa! R.I.P.

To My Daddy,
I will miss you so much.  You have always been there for me whether it was fighting off customers to get me my Cabbage Patch doll or taking me to school to save me from taking the bus.  You have played a very important part in my life as well as your grandsons' lives.  I love you so much.  There is an empty space in my heart that will never be replaced.
Love your daughter,
Stacie

To my Daddy,
There are no words.  You have always been there for me, you have been the best dad anyone could ever have.  You always put your family first.I so enjoyed hanging out with you, your frequent phone calls just to say hello.  I love you and always will, my heart aches without you, but your spirit lives in your grandchildren.  We will take care of Mommy, love always Melissa
