Mike, you are missed by so many people with me right at the top of the list. I’ll never forget you and your love for life and your love for people. You brightened the room when you came into it and you loved the camera as much as it loved you. I’ll never forget New Year’s Eve with Denise (I still have the champagne glass from that night and toast you each year), but you probably already know that from your view up high. I know heaven is properly decorated with you there. You were so talented, so gifted, and taken from us so young.

You are missed, Kim

Well, the time for our annual Florida trip is drawing near. Since your death, I haven’t been back.

Your pictures are everywhere around the house, and that helps me hold on to our memories.

You were the only brother I ever will have … your love … your helpfulness … your just being there … I miss you so much.

God knows we had so many good times together. Our trips … our little secrets … our strong talks … I miss so very, very much.

I miss you Michael, but God knows best. He took you that early May morning with the dew fresh on the ground and the sun rising through the big window. Now I think of what a beautiful sight it was. At the time, I was in such shock.

I have grown into the man you saw on the rise. I am still involved very heavily in “our favorite charity” of choice.

I miss Grace very much but things got in the way. You know who they were as well, as I have found out.

You made every day so special for me. The laughs … the talks … the tears … the love, we had an unconditional love, never to be judged out loud.

I miss you, my friend, as everyone does. They still talk about Michael but no one misses you like I do.

May the Lord be with you today and always, and may His peace also be with you.

Lovingly,
Dennie J. Wade
