Mike's Mom
Mike's dear friends,
It is the day after Mike's funeral and it all seems so unreal. The love we all shared through the bad times of the past few days is still real. Continue to remember Mike by thinking about the happy times. Mike loved you all. Thank you for making his life easier and loving him for who he was.
Some of you may know I have a passion for flower gardening. I went into my garden this morning and found some new flowers blooming. God has His way of healing broken hearts. For me seeing the new flowers opening their petals and showing their beauty is a sign that our lives keep opening. The force of love inside when it is smothered still can not be stopped. Love pushes forward out of tragedy and like Jesus overcomes death. I hope you all remember Mike by loving each other.

Love comes in bunches

Thank you so much for sharing these and the slide show (I'll keep checking for it - I don't think it's posted yet). I wish I could have been there yesterday.

Mrs. Wolf... I just heard the news and am saddened. I don't know what to say. I remember the "old days" when we were in school together and it's hard to beleive he's gone. I wish I knew more about what happened.

I was one of Mike's teachers at Marshall High School. I respected his fierce independence and sensitivity for others very much. I have never forgotten him and hope that all of the people in his life will find peace. He left us a great many gifts.

Mr and Mrs. Wolf, I was crushed to hear of Mike's passing. He meant so much to so many. Back when I was Sarah Peters at Marshall High Mike was always there pushing me to do better and keeping a smile on my face. He could put laughter in a dark room and that was a gift. I will miss the opportunities and the sense of humor. My thoughts are with you and Mike will always be in our hearts.

Mr. and Mrs. Wolf,
I found out about Mike's passing through this blog just this weekend, more than a year after the fact. Mike and I had been in touch through various means, but we lost touch with one another once again. I am happy I had the chance to tell him what he meant to me, and to have had Mike as a good friend. He enriched my life deeply. The world is short one beautiful soul, and an emptier place for it.
Don't let another day go by without telling someone you love them.
