Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again. From the depths of the earth, you will again bring me up.

You will increase my honor and comfort me once more.

My Deepest Condolences To The Rivera Family! My Heart & Prayers Go Out To You All In This Time Of Grief, Sorrow & Sadness. I Met Mike In Middle School @ Loma Vista. I Always Remember Him In His Levi’s, Vans & Flannels! When I Think About Mike The Vision That Comes To My Mind Even Before His Passing Is Him @ That Age In Middle School. Even Though We Went To High School Together & Even Ran Into Eachother As Adults Here n There Over The Years, The Vision Of Him Young Is Who I See & Remember…..Mike Was Always A Great Guy With A Big Smile & Even Bigger Heart! He Was A Good Friend To Me When We Were Young! 
Judy My Heart Breaks For You, I Wanted To Share Something Mike Sent To Me In April Of This Year When He Found Out My Mom Passed… He Told Me “I know it’s hard to lose a love one but they are the lucky ones they get to be in the presence of the Lord 🙏🏽”  

You’re There Now My Friend, In His Glorious Presence, Free Of All Pain,Torments & Sadness! Rest Now Mike, You’ll Be Missed…….

My Deepest Condolences & Prayers
Megan

I still can’t believe that your gone my heart is broken I wished you could have talked to me when no one else cared .or listened to you .
 Only God knows why he took you ! he seen everything you were going through !!!
 I love you Son you knew that Nobody can love you more than your Mother…
 I gave both to you saw you grow up to become the man that you you were the provider for your family even worked 24 hour shifts come home tired and still cooked for your children they always came first
 You tired your best to be that husband she wanted you to be and you made it work for 30 years ,that was what you did always tired your best and you were the best in everything you did, 
 You stepped up when Dad and Andrew Died , you were strong and didn’t give up or show anyone your pain , I know it was killing you inside especially when you saw your Mama hurting and not being herself . 
 Son ,I tired my best .. I’m sorry I should have paid more attention even though I was going through depression but your love hugs and kisses made me stronger ,Now with you gone What am I gonna do ? 
 But I do know you’re in a better place with no more pain crying or feeling alone you are with your maker Jesus the one who always loved you no matter what ! 
 He took you by the hand and said come home my child I will give you everlasting love, peace & happiness so with that I give you back to the Lord Jesus, Lord he’s yours take him as I release him back to you .
 I Thank God for the 47 years he gave you to me .so till we meet again I love you always and forever you will forever be in my heart and I promise I’ll do my best to take care of Alexis and Christian, your memory will live on , see you soon Mama’s coming 😭❤️‍🩹😭❤️‍🩹😭❤️‍🩹
His Mama Judy Rivera

My dad and Michael, they loved each other soo much! They were always so happy to be with each other! My dad loved his son in law and Michael loved his father in law…. Beautiful souls are now rejoicing with Jesus our savior 😘😘😘😘😘

May Michael's beautiful bright smile continue to live on within the family's memory. 
My deepest condolences and prayers for peace and comfort during this difficult loss 🙏🤍🙏 🕊️

Well cousin I can't believe u are gone I'm going to miss your big hugs and your big smile I know u are dancing in heaven I'll always have u in my prayers  u will be missed  forever  love you cousin love sondra

Michael I still can't believe you're gone I'm going to miss all the good times we spent together you were a fun loving cousin and  your  memories will last with me forever. May you rest in paradise until we meet again. I am so saddened and I wish I would have known everything you were going through I wish I could have been there with you to help you get through all the pain that you were going through I love you so much. I just keep asking myself why? You brought so much joy to everyone's life and we are all going to miss you so much give all our loved ones that we're missing down here big hug for us and tell them we miss them, enjoy Heaven cousin

Don't be sad... we will meet again. Open your little eyes, maybe you can't see me but in your dreams you can find me.

Don't cling to the idea that I should continue by your side, everything has a beginning and an end but I promise you that I will continue in your memory.

When you can't find me in your dreams, don't wake up with discouragement or anger, I went to take refuge in your heart.

There will be days that will fly by and that's okay, it's not necessarily so that you forget me, it's so that your wound heals sooner.

Life has not been unfair or cruel, life with all its good and bad things, is beautiful, very beautiful.

No matter where each of us is now, our hearts will continue to connect.

Don't cry for me, please, I'm very well, in a state of deep tranquility, with a peace that I couldn't explain to you but that makes me feel happy, your tears will not bring me back, don't torture yourself anymore, don't think that It could have been different because that doesn't make a difference, if I have accepted it, accept it too and move on.

Never think about giving up, be strong, don't give up, you can, you have always been able to and you always will be able to.

We can't touch each other but we can still feel each other. The magic is not over if you continue to remember me and carry me in your heart.

Live for you, for me, for whoever you want but live, enjoy this beautiful life that God gave us today we are here and tomorrow maybe not.

Seek your happiness in those precious little gifts that life gives us; the light of the moon, the wind, the rain, the flight of a bird, the beauty of the landscapes.

Live and I will continue to live through you. And when you can't feel me by your side, when I no longer appear in your dreams, in those small gifts that we almost never value, you will find me, I promise that I will give you a sign.

Breathe, flow, move forward, you can! You have always been able to and you always can.❤️‍🩹😭❤️‍🩹😭🕊️

I know you're waiting for a sign 
I've sent a few,
But I think you're too distraught to notice .
I'm going to try harder 
To get your attention .
I know it's been so hard for you 
But I'm okay
I made it over to the other side .
All is well , I'm at peace 
It's beautiful over here .
The colours, the overwhelming feeling of love 
I've come home .
I'm safe ..
But ...
I wish you would stop crying 
You would notice more with dry eyes .
The feathers I left outside the back door 
I told you I would , but they went unnoticed.
The robin that came every day last week
to sing sweetly on the bench 
Where we used to sit ..
His song and vivid red breast were much brighter 
than the dreary music you were playing 
How can you hear me when you're drowning in that noise ? 
Please be more attentive ..
I'm really trying .
I haven't been here long so I'm still working on my powers to connect .
I'm here right next to you , please notice me .
In time i hope you learn to feel my presence 
I know it's early days, but I'll always be around .
I didn't leave 
I still exist 
Look for me in nature 
In the gentle breeze 
The falling leaves
A colourful sunset 
The smile of a child.
Think of me as being eternal 
I live on in so many ways .
Connect with me 
Through prayer 
Our favourite songs 
A beautiful poem .
The sound of the rain .
I continue to exist, just in a different way 
Just make the most of your time left on earth 
And know that you'll see me again ...

My beloved Son Michael 🫧 my heart hurts😭❤️‍🩹
