I am sending you a dove to Heaven, with a parcel on it's wings, be careful when you open it. It's full of beautiful things. Inside are a million kisses, wrapped up in a million hugs. To say how much I miss you and send you all my love.  I hold you close within my heart and there you will remain, to walk with me thru out my life until we meet again.

To my husband in Heaven , your wings were ready , but my heart was not. Reflections of you this Christmas Day, missing you in so many ways.  I pray you continue to watch over us all, keeping us safe and healthy.

In Loving Memory of a Dear Husband and Wonderful Father - Time Passes, Memories Stay - Loved and Remembered Everyday.

Love Melissa

Cannot end Christmas without remembering you. Another year gone by, gone but never forgotten.

Love, Me

Mike - Happy Heavenly Birthday.

In Loving Memory

Melissa Hale

Eight years ago today  God called you home, doesn't seem possible it's been that long. Love and Miss you.

Missing you everyday, but Christmas time always seems the hardest

There's a very special place
Beyond the skies above
Somewhere very peaceful
that is full of light and love

That special place is Heaven
where your free to laugh and roam
It was your time to go there
so the Angels took you home

And though your in our thoughts
each single day throughout the year
At special times like Christmas
we all wish you could be here

Now your in a better place
you soul is laid to rest
Safe with all the Angels
they only take the BEST.

This rose is for my DAD in Heaven

Thinking of you on Father's Day

MEMORIES OF YOU AT CHRISTMAS

Now that your no longer here
I hope you'll always know
Your memory is with me always
Every where I go

Christmas time is here now
And happily I find
That thoughts of all the fun we shared
Are always on my mind

I wish you peace at Christmas time
Where ever you may be
And thank you for the memories
They mean the world to me

Merry Christmas - With Loving Memory

Happy Birthday yesterday! Miss you! Love you!

I miss and love you Mike <3 <3 It almost feels like a dream that I havent woke up from...We will all be together soon! I recall alot of true family time with me and my kids who love and miss you still today~ I know ur with us all so you should know what I just said to my sister...I knew you would get a kick outta that one as well ;) I know you had something to do with Dallas winning! It was a good game... Love you Angela, Brian, Maygan,Drake & Jr

Happy Birthday to you! I know your having a pretty good birthday and looking down on all of us! We love you and MISS you everyday. love, your favorite niece ;-)

Staring at the little dots in the sky
Wondering which one is you
Asking the same question two years later.
Why?
Only answer I know is that you knew.
Sitting by the window watching the rain fall never felt so cold.
Rembering the last story you told.

Hold on and be strong
Live your life, do your things
For it's in Heaven I belong
Go on and live your dreams.

In a song I still hear you
In a flower I still see you
But your bed space is empty
It's just your memory that comforts me.
Missing you is a rollercoaster ride
Emotions up and down
Always wishing you are by my side

But I'll hold on and I'll be strong
Will live my life, do my things
And promise to live OUR dreams

All my love

I added this poem on December 26, 2011 and it did not post to the album. I thought it was so beautil I have posted again:

Christmas In Heaven!

I see the countless Christmas trees
Around the world below,
With tiny lights like Heaven's stars
Reflectibng in the snow.

The sight is so spectacular
please wipe away that tear
for I am spending CHRISTMAS
WITH JESUS CHRIST this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs
that people hold so dear
but the sound of music can't compare
with the CHRISTMAS CHOIR up here.

I have no words to tell you
of the JOY their voices bring
for it is beyond description
to HEAR THE ANGELS SING.

I know how much you miss me,
I see the pain inside your heart
for I am spending CHRISTMAS
WITH JESUS CHRIST this year.

I can't tell you of the splendor
or the peace here in this place
Can you just imagine CHRISTMAS 
WITH OUR SAVIOR face to face?

I'll ask him to lift your spirit
as I tell him of your love
so then pray for one another
as you lift your eyes above.

Please let your hearts be joyful
and let your spirit sing
for I am spending Christmas in heaven
with Jesus Christ this year.

Happy Thanksgiving - Dallas wins the game:o) Thinking of you every day.

Love Melissa

Miss you dad..thinking about you everyday, always gives me strength to keep my head up and do great things like you would want.Love you, Justin

Mike,  

Remembering you on your Birthday. We love you and miss you more than words could ever express. Happy Birthday to a wonderful husband and Dad.

We love you .....

I miss you EVERY day uncle Mike. I love you!!

MIKE ... so many images come to mind
whenever I speak your name;
It seems without you in my life
things have never been the same.

What happened to all those times
when I always looked to you;
No matter what happened in my life
you could make my gray skies blue.

Some days I hear your voice
and turn to see your face;
Yet in my turning...it seems
the sound has been erased.

Who will I turn to for answers
when life does not make sense;
Who will be there to help me thru
when the pieces just don't fit.

If I could turn back time
and once more hear your voice;
I'd tell you that out of all the husbands
you would still be my choice.

Please always know I love you
and no one can take your place;
Years may come and go
but your memory will never be erased.

Today, Jesus, as You are listening
in your home above;
Would you go and find my husband
and give him all my love.

Happy 24th Anniversary, Love Melissa

I cherrish all of our memories and I am thankful for the life we shared and built together.

I miss you so much,
Melissa

In My Pocket

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.

Missy and Justin,
No words can take away the sorrow of loosing your Dad and husband.  We pray that God meets you and all of Mikes family at their many needs today and always.  Mike would want you all to live for him and keep his memory alive by doing what he did here on this earth.  Life is so precious and God is the giver of Life and he saw that Mike was tired and took him home.  Know that we too feel your loss and are always here for you both and always have been.  Life can bring you to your knees and throw some hard hits but know that this life is only temporary and that one day we will all be together even when we don't understand it all God has His Hands in our lives and is close to those who hurt.  Justin, you where your Dads greatest accomplishment this side of heaven and the pride of his life.  Just be there for eachother and know that Mike is with you both always <3  We love you very much and are so proud of the life you have made <3  Keep up the great work!  Beautiful pictures and it was hard to pick out the ones we liked the best but if we had to choose it would be the one of Mike looking at Justin as a baby (a fathers love is so special) and the one of Missy and Mike together (those are the good stuff)  Cling to all the good memories you made together and keep them alive in your heart...Love Dad, Heather, lil Frank and Denise

Mike,  The days have been so long since you left. The nights so lonely. We love you and miss you always.

I love dad!there won't be a minute that goes by we don't think about you..

         Love,me and mom
