Daddy,

You were my first best friend and dancing partner. You let me wear my tap shoes in the house and were happy to play saxaphone and bass while I danced for hours. You always said yes to going for a bike ride or an adventure. My biggest fan, teacher and hero. When life was hard and I said I couldn’t take anymore, you always said “sure you can”, perservere and don’t ever give up! You taught me that we are never too old to learn new things. Noah Michael was so proud to have you for his Grandpa and was in awe of all your life accomplishments! He is going to be a great architect and make you proud. I’m devastated that you are no longer here in our earthly lives, but I know you will be by our sides guiding us forever.
You are now able to fly your plane through the heavens and play in God’s orchestra.

Love you forever. “Love you alot”
Michelle Marie

Carol, Michelle and Kristie,
My deepest sympathy to you in the lost of your husband and father. May he be at peace in the heavens with his creator. May he be dancing with the angels. May his pain and suffering be a distant memory. Know that he is healthy once again. Although it is difficult to say good bye, know that God has a bigger more powerful plan for Michael in heaven than on earth. Know that he will be waiting for you when you meet again.

Love Always – Colette
