In Remembrance of Michael / Garnet/Sister To Sgt David Dickinson
Do not stand by my grave and weep. I am not there I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow I am the diamond glints upon the snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain and I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush I am that swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand by my grave and cry I am not there I did not die.

4 Year Traditional Feast / Marsha (Mom #2 )
This will be the last traditional feast since you and Autumn departed from us 4 years ago. I expect it will be a big turnout. The both of you have so many family members and friends. Though this is the last traditional feast that we will share I still believe that you Autumn and Jerry will be close to your mom and dad during Holidays and special events and that your spirit will still visit often to get them through the years that have yet to come before they depart to the spirit world. No one can ever know the depth of pain and suffering that they endure each day except for all of you kids when they cry out to you. It saddens me deeply for their loss and I pray for them. There will be one day very soon that we will all be able to see each other again and that meal and reunion will be a joyous one!
Felicia told me of your visit in her dream a couple of nights ago. She asked you about the guy she was dating and how it was time to let you go. She said that the dream was very vivid and that it hurt as she cried when she spoke those words to you. She said that you were comforting yet also pained. I assume saddened or felt regret for a life that you both could have shared together and how now it will never be. I believe it was more of a realization to Felicia as she held onto you and did not want to believe or let you go. I am happy Mike that Felicia has now accepted your death and can move on with her life....though right now the present choice I don't agree with. Yeah I know what your saying "you didn't accept me right away either". Perhaps I just need to give him a chance. I am so very happy that I did with you....you loved my daughter so well.
Me your mom and Feesh celebrated our Birthdays together. Your mom put together a really nice meal; steak and all! I brought us a Birthday cake. We all had the number 5's this year in our birth years. We made it a special occasion. Here are some pictures:
Michael: Today is your 4th year Angelversary! We are having a feast for you and your sister and we know that your brother grandparents aunties and uncles will be doing the same for you in the spirit world. It's been a long and lonely 4 years. This past weekend we finally got to meet the Gillis/Sanchez family. It was such a nice visit to be able to talk with someone who was going thru the same thing we are. Watch over all of your relatives and friends today and always. Baby Michael spent the night with us as usual. He is getting so he does not want to go home. He likes playing on the computer but sometimes he gets real frustrated. I keep reminding him that it is only a game. Reminds me alot of you! Felicia is doing better these days. We're glad she still comes over she will always be a part of our family. Not a day goes by that we don't think about you. Take care of Autumn and Jerry. One day we will be together.
Love u bro / Joe St. (Cuzin/Brother)
Hey brother man... i jus thought i would drop u a line to let u know i still reminise on all the crazy stuff we did lol. I miss u homie... i always think of u brotha... u always have a place in my heart! love u bro Close
4th of July is coming up this weekend! I plan to light off a big firework just for you since I know you always enjoyed this Holiday. I've been thinking, do you know what goes on down here on Earth, are you still checking in?
Felicia told me the other day that she has had dreams about you and the pain is not as hard as it used to be. She still has a feeling of loss for losing someone she truly loved but she has come to an understanding within herself. I know it has been nearly four years and it has taken her this long to allow someone into her heart. I am happy that she can move forward, I'm just not happy with the choice. I feel that a big part of it is because she is so lonely and desperate to have someone love her again.
I know that you are in a blissful place Mike; no feelings of pain or jealousy and want Felicia to be happy, and believe me I do too, its just that I'm afraid she is going to get hurt...really bad. So, I am praying that you can talk with her in her dreams and go over the pro's and con's with her about this relationship. She doesn't listen to the closest of friends nor me so if you can help out....Wonderful!
I was gonna see what your mom and dad are doing for this Holiday but have just learned that Felicia is going out of town to La Crosse so I have decided to just take Tyler up to the LCO Casino to watch the fireworks and than go home and light off a few, including yours.
Well...Mike I am getting tired so will be heading to bed. I love you and will miss you forever.
Just saying hello / Marsha MOM#2
Hello Mike - Just wanted to stop by and say hello. I visited with your ma and dad yesterday and we had long talks about everything including my ma and dad. It was nice to be able to talk openly about my feelings and your parents are always so supporting.
Michael was visiting also, he is so cute and very smart. Your parents just enjoy the time they spend with him - he is such good medicine.
We all love and miss you Mike and think of you often. Until our spirits meet again...love you.
A very happy Heavenly Birthday to you Mike! We all love you and miss you so much! As you were celebrating in Heaven, we too were having a dinner for you at your parents. Your Mom and dad, Erin&Jordan, Aunt Kim & Uncle Jim, Elaine, Michael and baby, and Me, Feesh and Tyler were there. Geez, we arrived almost an hour late. We really had a good time and your mom cooks awesome! We had her spagetti and meatballs....Felicia's choice of course with the trimmings. Cant believe it.......27!!! WOW Happy Birthday Mike!
Today you would be turning 27. We had a spaghetti dinner at the house in honor of your birthday. It is always nice when your family and friends come over and spend some time with us. Hope you had a nice dinner with all of your relatives in heaven. Help Auntie Kim, she needs each one of you kids to visit with her and let her know that things will work out for her and her family will always be there for her when she needs them. Today, Baby Michael was walking around the house pulling up on his pants, Felicia said it reminded her of you. Not a day goes by that each one of you kids are on our minds. We love and miss you.

Happy Birthday, Mike! / Uncle Jim And Auntie Kim
Happy Birthday, Mikey
I was telling a friend, it's your 27th and she asked what memories I have of you. I told her all good. I remember you and Sonder were together alot, either your house or ours. Mikey, I'm still having a hard time coping. As a matter of fact, today I cried so hard for you, Autumn and Jerry. I'm trying so hard to move on, so will my sweet angels in heaven including Richard help Auntie come to terms, because I know you kids are happy and doing fine. My dream proved it.
Me and Uncle Jim will never forget you kids and will love you always!
