Memories

Tributes to Michael from his sister and niece

MICHAEL

My darling little brother who grew

up to be so loving and giving,

Has shared his life, his hopes, his dreams

to those of us that are living.

He had so many dreams so much

to see and do,

And all he wanted was to share it

with people he loved and knew.

As I myself sit and reflect on

our younger lives,

My little brother was always there

with his gigantic smile.

For those of you that had the

honor of his friendship and love,

You now know he is with Our Father in Heaven

in the blue skies above.

He is there by Our Father's side,

ever keeping a watchful eye.

Making sure that all who loves him

will join him by and by.

I, among many, will miss you

oh so very much.

But, my darling little brother, I'll always remember

and treasure your soft loving touch.

My Dear Uncle,

Although we are apart

You shall always be in my heart.

This can't be true ... your leaving ...

I'll always love you.

You are as free as a bird now ...

For this we all shall see,

But promise me one thing ...

You will never forget me.

God has taken you from our hands ...

And this has ruined our summer plans,

But now I know and understand ...

We can't be together.

But we will be, in Heaven one day,

Forever and Ever.

I Love You.

Your niece,

Jamilynn Renee' Grieger

"We miss you Darla Jean"

You cannot escape the loss of a child.
The pain in your heart nearly drives you wild.
You wonder what you could have changed.
Your whole life is rearranged.

You sit and cry...out of control.
You feel as if you have lost your soul.
You relive that horrific day,
To change it, yes change it ... but there's just no way.

The love we have for this tiny soul,
Continues to grow stronger.
We love and miss you more and more
As all the days grow longer.
At least there's comfort that we all know
She's free of all sickness and in God's Kingdom she's grow.

Here are a couple more pictures of our little angel Darla Jean

Our Little Princess by: Jamilynn Grieger
Don't worry about me, please I promise I'll be good. I'll do what they tell me, Like you told me they would. I'm going someplace better, Even though I should be in your arms. Away from all the bad things And free from any harm. Just bundle with my blankey, And cuddle up with my teddy. God gave me no sign, But I guess I was ready. Sleep tight and think of me, have pleasant dreams. But all in all, Mommy and Daddy It's not as bad as it seems. I feel real safe Even though I wasa safer with you. But things cannot harm me now Because I'm in someplace new. I will be in your dreams No doubt about that. I will miss you, Mommy And your annoying little cat. When worse comes to worse I'll be right there. So remember who I was And please don't be scared. And you, Daddy You are the best. And I'm sorry to have left you and Mommy But God said it's time for me to rest.	So off I go without you But I will see you soon. When you come to join me And see what I say is new. So when you feel me there Please don't get sad Just stay happy like I was Forever, Mom and Dad. Aunt Jamie already told me, We will never be apart. She promised all of your love And says I'm in your heart. Now she is very brilliant And I believe what she has to say So lift up your chin and smile, Mom All she said to do was pray. The time we had and shared It's something to cherish forever. But don't let this put you down Be strong because we'll always be together I guess it's time to go, Mom Tell Daddy not to cry Be strong and don't forget me Because I know it's not good-bye. I know you guys loved me I know you guys cared But don't forget our memories Or the time we all shared. I really have to go now, I have to go I guess But don't foret baby Darla, Mommy and Daddy's little Princess
