Know that your friends and family love you all, and are praying for you.

We are so sorry to hear of your loss!  I talked to Jan Miseraca when she called because another friend lost their darling 23 year old son last Thursday.  I remember Michael & Danny playing wild baseball with Vinny and the other boys.....

God bless you Michael and your loving family.  I'm so sorry my brother.

Tom and Carmen:  I am so very sad for your family -- I know this is a terrible loss.  Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers, and will be for a long time to come.

Much love,
Laura

Carmen and family,

I am so sorry for your loss.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.  May God give you strength and peace.

Some how I came across your son's funeral notice in the paper. I do not know your family, but his young face could have been my son, who is now 28 and almost died in 2006. He still struggles to this day, and is also very into music and plays the guitar. I truly know everything you and he must have went through. There are no words to describe the agonizing helplessness you feel. I still pray everyday that this does not happen to my son.  My deepest and most heartfelt sympathy to your family.

Tom & Family,

I am so sorry to hear about your loss of Michael.  I'm hoping that you will find peace in the good memories.  I'm keeping your family in my prayers.

Andie Rathbone

Tom, Carmen and Kristen; You three are in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this rough time.  He will be missed.

Precious Tom, Carmen and Kristen - you
may not remember me, but I worked with
Donna Lee for years.  During that time,
I was at your mother's home and had con-
tact with you through Marsha.  I am so
sad to hear of Michael's death.  You
have all been through so much, helping
him and loving him during his problems.
I hope that you are comforted that he
is at peace now. I pray that you will
find peace and comfort, in the arms of
our Savior.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, Carmen, Tom and Kristen.  Trust that Michael is at peace and is no longer suffering.  Cling to each other and know that there are many, many friends that are here to support you through this difficult time.  We all love and care for you and are here when you need and want us.

Dearest Tom, Carmen and Kristen:  We extend our deepest sympathies.  Our hearts break for you.  We know the anguish, the guilt, the void you face.  May you rely on God and His mercies and may He bless you and heal your hearts.  You will never get over your loss, but you will learn to live with it.  We love you and continue to pray for you.  Renda Heard Ruckman et al

I'm so sorry for your loss.  We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.  Sorry that I was unable to make the trip.

We hold you close in prayer. With deepest sympathy. Love, Steve and Nancy

Dear Tom, Carmen, Kristen,

On the physical plane we can grieve the loss of this very loving and talented soul. But on the plane of truth, we know that he is held, he is still loving, he still knows you, and his Creator is there. Which means, he has no grief. He is exactly where he belongs, with the Love of Jesus surrounding him and bathing him in phenomenal experience that we cannot even begin to imagine. I know you are a family of faith, and faith will bring you through this. Feel the Love of the Beloved and know that Michael is ecstatic in his new home.

Dear Tom and Carmen, Please accept our sympathies and know that you are in our prayers.
Bob Stephens and Becky Antey

"Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
but never meant to stay...
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with our lord."

We love you - The Donze's

BIG MIKE!! you were more than a friend to me in bridgeway both times!!!  I dont know if thats a good thing or not that we were in there twice together, but it was a blessing in disguise that you were in my life.  We got to know eachother so well and share our love for drums and guitar.  We had way to many similarities to count, and it a truly incredible experience spending time with you and getting to know you.  I love you bro and i miss you like crazy, my condolences go out to everyone who cared for this amazing person.

Dear Carmen and Family,
I am saddened by your great loss.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Do not stand at my grave and weep 
I am not there, I do not sleep 
I am a 1,000 winds that blow 
I am the diamond glints on snow 
I am the sun on ripened grain 
I am the gentle autumn rain 
When you awaken in the morning's hush 
I am the swift uplifting rush 
Of quiet birds in circled light 
I am the soft star that shines at night 
Do not stand at my grave and cry 
I am not there; I did not die.

How do you express the loss of a son?  As your brothers family we find it very hard.  Michael was loved as one of our own.  THe Lord said "I will give you peace".  This He will do.
