There's a saying that says "Only the Good Die Young" and if that isn't true I don't know what is. I believe that we can all consider ourselves blessed for have knowing Michael. Because had we not, we would not be here. It was the love that Michael showed to us, and the love that we felt for him that brought us all here. Once some one walks into your life, the footprints are always on your heart, and Michael has left many footprints on my heart.

He was always there for me, and that's what I miss most, but the memories I have of him are held close to my heart because without them I don't know where I would be, and his love shines brighter everyday. He shared with me the memories of 15 years and for that I am forever thankful, one thing I have learned, is that life is full of tears, smiles and memories, the tears dry up, the smiles fade, but the memories will last forever, and thinking of those memories spent with Michael is how I know I'm going to be alright. If I stood here today and wrote about all of the things Michael has done for me, you'd need forever to listen, I wouldn't even know where to begin, but what I do know is that everything I do, I owe to it all to Michael. I know he " ll be there when hardships arise and when things are good he " ll be there too, whispering "I'm so proud of you Kim", like always. I miss him so much words couldn't describe, I miss his hugs, his laugh, his smile and I wish he could be here to see me grow up, but I know while I'm looking up to him, he's looking down on me, he wouldn't leave me, he knows I still need him. Michael was my grown- up best friend, the adult I looked up too and the guy who knew how to have fun, even if mom didn't approve, some how it was always okay, because Uncle Mike said it was!

Always!! Michael, he was just an all - around good person and I feel so lucky to have had a part of him in my life. I'll always remember the good times we had, they " ll never disappear and nothing will ever change! He taught me so many things and did so many things for me throughout my life, there aren't enough words in the world to begin thanking him for everything.

His memory lives on in my heart, and that's where it will remain for the rest of my life. Not only was he Michael, but, he was "My Uncle Mike", and I know he's watching over me and taking care of me, just like he always did. The one thing I have that no one can ever take away is the memory of his smile that will keep me smiling everyday. My Uncle Mike, My Angel! !
