As I looked through pictures the other day, it brought it all so clear to me again that you are not just away staying with friends or going out on your own, but you are gone from here and in a place that I can’t see you, talk to you, or hug you. I miss you so much Honey. No matter how often I wish or how hard I pray, you’re not coming back. The pain of that never, ever goes away. I hope you know Honey how much I love you. Sometimes I feel so sure that you can feel my love and sometimes I just wonder if you really can. Sometimes I see what I think of as signs from you, just saying hello, and sometimes I wonder if they really are signs or just signs of nature. And sometimes when I suddenly wake up during the night and “feel” like you’ve been here I wish even more that I could know for sure.
As Thanksgiving and Christmas approach us, I pray that you are getting ready to celebrate those special days and helping the sick children and the struggling families. I know if there is any way that you can do that, you are doing it. And I pray that you stay close to us Honey and keep sending those signs so that I can know you are OK and that you do visit us. This will be our fourth Christmas season without you and yet it still seems like we just lost you yesterday. So please stay close Michael. I love you so very much.
Happy Halloween Dear Michael / Denise Kneale (angel friends )
Dear Michael, Have a wonderful Halloween with all our Angels and light up our skies with your celebrations, leaving small signs for your precious family of your love, peace and strength. Love Never Dies.

Dedicated To Michael In His Memory / Dianne Roderick (Friend of Family )
Dear Kim & Craig,
Thinking of you both. Hoping that in some way this will bring you both some peace as you go through the day. I wrote this some time ago and thought that it reflected how Michael's signs bring you peace each day. I know in my heart that his gentle spirit is all around his loved ones.
Love you,
Dianne & Ray
"Who Am I ?"
I am a speck in the night sky.
I am a voice in the wind.
If you listen you will hear me everywhere.
If you touch you will feel me in the depths of the ocean,
or in the soil of the earth.
If you open your eyes you will see me in the morning sun,
and in the beautiful sunset of the evening.
You will smell me in the sweet fragrance of a flower.
If you taste the sweetness of the clear stream and stop to
gaze for awhile.....You will see me.
Who Am I?
"I am the one that you will carry in your heart forever."
Dedicated to Michael LaDue in his memory on 10-10-08
I simply cannot begin to express the feelings I am having today. Trying to realize that you have been gone from us for three long years is something that I have difficulty grasping. I still can see your generous smile and loving face and hear that wonderful laugh that we all came to love and expect from you. I still however can still see you that last day, that vain struggle to keep you here with us. My desperate plea to God to help me one last time to save you. It just could not be the end...not like this...not this soon...not this young. There were so many things going through my head that I failed to do for you...that I neglected to understand...that I wished I could do over. My pleas fell on God's deaf ears this time...He had other plans for you. I wish today that I could have you here for another encounter to love you even more than I did... hold you even tighter that I did...talk to you even more than I did. There are just so many regrets in hindsight that I see I could have changed...I just did not know how to do it then.
I love and miss you so very much every day. There is a piece of my heart that will never be repaired. The void in my life will never be filled. The feelings of love for you will never diminish. I have only your memories in my heart and mind to live on with. I pray that they will sustain me through the difficult times and Hope and pray that I will never lose them. It is true that I will never hear your voice or see your smile or feel your kiss on my cheek again but I still can remember them so vividly. You gave so generously of yourself and I am grateful for the time I had with you however short it was. I know that we all wish that you could have been in our lives for a very long time but I take solace in the fact that you can help us now from heaven. So on this third anniversary of your rebirth in heaven I pray you continue to use your generous spirit to watch and protect us all.
I will keep you forever in my heart...forever in my thoughts...forever in my memory...until I can hold you and kiss you again in heaven. Missing you so very much. I know that you will be with me when I need you the most...you always were.
It was three years ago today that we lost you. I remember much of it so clearly, and yet so much of it is a vague haze in my mind. Saying that last goodbye to you when you were already gone and couldn’t answer me is still stuck in my mind. I was so angry that I had only one last time to hold you. I was thinking that if I didn’t let you go I could keep you here and it would somehow not be true. But it was true and the millions of tears and wishes and what ifs over the past three years have not changed that. It was not OK then, it is still not OK… it will never be OK. All I have left of you are pictures and memories. I thank God that I at least still have them; but it just isn’t enough. I need to have you here and be able to hug you. I need to be able to have conversations with you and hear your voice. I’m still mad that you’re gone Michael. And it still hurts so much. This hurt that never goes away. Sure, there are times when everything might seem “normal” for a while. And then I realize all over again that you are not here. And I am again reminded that I will never again feel that “normal” feeling.
I am still struggling with “why” Michael. Each time I wonder why God didn’t answer our prayers, I am reminded of what Mark told me; God didn’t answer our prayers in the way we wanted, he answered your prayers. Your prayers for help and peace. And so God gave you the peace you so desperately needed. But I still can’t understand why God couldn’t have given you that peace without taking you away. I don’t think I’ll ever understand.
And so Michael, as I try to get through today, acting “normal”, I’ll be remembering you and all the special moments you brought to my life. And I’ll be praying that you truly are at peace. And I’ll be praying to God to get me through this day and to help me to feel that the messages you send me in so many different ways will be “enough” as the days continue to go by.
As always, I’ll be thinking about you Michael and hugging you and holding you in my heart as I do every day. You will always be remembered and loved Honey.
I miss you so very much and I love you so very much Michael.
It has been a rough few weeks for me. I know that I don't have to explain to you, I know you understand. I miss you so much. I miss our talks, your laugh, and that big smile of yours. I miss all the inside jokes and the hours of goofing around we shared. I miss our friendship, but most of all I miss you.
Your friendship taught me so much Michael. You were always there for me when I needed you and I know that you are still here for me even if I can't see you. I feel you near me and I know that you send me little signs to let me know you are near us. I appreciate that very much. Stay close to us today as we make it through our day.

H B TO MY LOVING SON / DAD (LOVING FATHER )
DEAR SON,
Another year has come and gone and I find you so very present still in my heart...there is no flicker of light in my heart that is not illuminated by your presence...for every hope and every wish and every prayer that I hold in my life...they are there because of you in one way or another....all that I remember and all that I hope and all that I wish is somehow returning to you...my precious son...how can it be that my life now revolves around you and my memories of you...it just sincerely is not fair...don't you agree?...but unfortunately or maybe not ...this is the case...however..today is a day to celebrate your birthday..to remember that you were with us...however short it may have been ,I know that your existence had a profound impact on family, friends and all who came in contact with you...for this reason and because I was with you when you came into this world...flesh of my loving flesh and I was with you when you left this world...breath of my dying breath...l devoutly wish and sincerely hope you have a great birthday....my love and thoughts are always with you my precious son...forever yours in my heart.
Happy Birthday Michael / Denise Kneale (angel friends )
Happy Birthday dear Michael, have a wonderful time with all our Angels, lighting up our skies with your celebrations and leaving small signs of your love, peace and strength for your precious family. Love Never Dies.
I wish so badly that you were here so I could wish you a Happy Birthday ... hug you close and somehow let you know that this day was special to me too, because it was the day my little brother came into the world.
I wish I had done it when I had the chance, sadly I didn't. I remember so well the last birthday you were alive for ... it's one of the regrets that I've lived with for nearly three years since you left us.
I hope that you are having a huge celebration, wherever you are, and the day is a happy one for you. Stay close to the family if you can, as I'm sure this day is hard for them. It would have to be hard for anyone that really knew you - Because the must have this same void where you once were.
I love you so very much Michael and I miss you like crazy. You are always in my thoughts ...
I guess I never thought I'd so very much miss being bombarded with wishes and requests weeks before your birthday for what you wanted on that "Special Day". I just wish you were here to bombard all of us some more..... if wishes could only come true.
I can only pray that all of your wishes have come true Michael. I pray that you have no pain and are at peace Honey.
Dad and I will be sending you some birthday balloons from the beach. I hope you like them and send us another sign like you did last year.

Love & Hugs Carol WWW.myangelsonmichael.Com
1 day was disbelief...10 days were filled with grief...100 days still longing for you...now 1000 days have come and gone since you were with us last and all of those emotions are still within me...how many tears have come and gone in 1000 days...how many times since I saw you last have I recalled the last nightmare...how many regrets can you conjure in 1000 days...how many recriminations can I cast against myself...how many heartaches can be withstood in 1000 days...through it all I have one redeeming grace to help me continue ... and that it I have had 1000 days filled with a million memories of you and all of us which are filled with the joys you brought to the family and to me...I am thankful for the pleasant and joyous memories now because I know that with eternity ahead of me...1000 days is not that very long and yet it feels like eternity.
I LOVE AND MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH...STAY CLOSE TO ME AND TO ALL THE FAMILY....FOREVER IN MY HEART AND CONSTANTLY IN MY THOUGHTS
Well Mikey, it's been a while since I've written anything here ... another holiday is upon us and it still isn't any easier. I read Gram's candle about the last 4th of July that you were here for ... I miss having you here for these things. I think about you all the time, and the littlest things remind me of you at random times. But the holidays are always the hardest because those are the times that family is supposed to be together. Now, I can't help but dread those times because there is always this void where you are missing.
Well, I just wanted to say that I love you and miss you so very much! I hope you have a great view for some 4th of July fireworks!
Happy 4th July Dear Michael / Denise Kneale (angel friends )
Happy 4th July Michael, have a wonderful time with all our Angels, once again lighting up our skies with your celebrations and leaving your dear family small signs of your love, peace and strength. Love Never Dies.
