Condolence: In Memory of my Son,you had a long promising life ahead of you,smarter than I ever was at your age,you taught me so much.

Even in your passing your teaching me,you always wanted me to retire,I wonder everyday is that because you wanted to spend more time with me?I try to stay positive and think of all our times together.

It only makes me ache with the thought of not seeing you.There was so much left to do together,I'm sorry that we will never get the chance.

I put your picture in my firebird that is finally restored,and imagine you are with me smiling with the top down.

I listen to your music while driving,man you were so talented,I wish we spent more time enjoying your music together,traveling and just being together.I took for granted you would outlive me,never imagined this nightmare that I'm living everyday without you,my life will never be the same,we were finally getting time to be adults together,going to your apartment that you were So Happy to finally meet that goal of your own place.I cherish those memories,and think of them every minute or the day.

Think of you every minute of the day,what you would be doing,waiting for a text or a call from you,miss everything about YOU,I can only hope that you knew that since I didn't tell you nearly enough.We were similar not the type to go on and on,but since you were born you've been the Shining Star in my life,and I can't begin to imagine my life without you.

I want to Thank You for being such a GREAT Son to me,I've always been so Proud of you in whatever you did,I'm sorry I didn't say the words enough so I'm saying them now.

I really Love you with all my heart and miss you.You gave my life so much joy,my Son

Thank-you,Love
Dad

Condolence: Although its almost been one year,it still feels like yesterday when you died and our world was shattered.
We miss you everyday,you are in our minds and hearts always.

We are so proud of all that you accomplished,working two jobs while trying to fulfill your dream. There were not enough hours in the day for your busy mind.

You inspired others through art,creativity,music, and writing.Your life cut too short to fulfill your big dreams of opening your own store and designing websites for others.We know that through your sheer guts and courage and ability to step out of the crowd you would of went forward and conquered your powerful dream.

We mourn for all the extraordinary things you did,and all the thing you wont get to do,including a trip to Japan, revisiting the Grand Canyon that you loved as a little boy.

We Mourn for Jenny that her only Big Brother who brought her so much happiness through his kindness patience,and understanding,will not be able to play the drums or guitar for her anymore, that we wont see the
way she lit up when you came home. Knowing you and only you,can never be replaced.

We would give anything to have you back,we cherish all the memories felt in our home and your items that remind us of your enthusiasm towards your future.

We mourn that we have lost the chance to see your dreams come true,and support and help you in anyway you needed. You were the Joy,love and light of our lives, our world.

However we take comfort and pride that even through your obstacles and fears, you always had the character to touch peoples lives, through your compassion independence and above all LOVE, all who knew you were lucky

Sadly you are gone too soon your voice, laugh, smile and zest for life,we cant hug you,touch you or hear your sweet warm voice.But we will always be connected
its hard to describe it cant be destroyed it cant be denied , though you are gone, and not here, I will always have a lifeline to you, no one can see it pulls at my heart, I'm bruised.....I am sore, But we shared a
Cord that is my lifeline , I am thankful that connects us this way, a mother and child Death can't take it away.
Until we meet again,
Mom

Condolence: I'm not sure if anyone will see this but I'm sorry for not commenting sooner..Mike was hands down the most inspiring person in my life. In 26 years on this planet I've never gotten to know someone so intelligent and creative. He was truly an innovator, and his way of thinking revolutionized my approach to living along with many others. As a friend, he was always there for me when I was struggling mentally, and he always knew what to say to put me back in a positive mindset. His views on Spirituality and the bigger picture have me knowing he would want everyone to pursue happiness at all costs and to live freely and without fear I miss him everyday but his energy still is with me, as every fear I face, I think of him, he is with me to give me the energy I need to carry on. Much love to any family or friends who see this.

Condolence: Only 2 weeks ago.....feels like an eternity
