WINDSOR & BIG MIKE by WILLIAMS LAKEFEST

Another lakefest has come and gone,
Glasses were raised from dusk till dawn.
As family and friends said heres to Mike D, We also remembered our dear friend Dave Lee. Both were taken at such a young age, like a book god had written and had come to their page.
He took them both for reasons unknown, their lives so short they were more like a loan. We will always cherish the times that we had. The highs and the lows, the good and the bad. When the fireworks started all the booms and the bursts, as we hear hoots and hollers we thought of you first. As the holidays near your absence grows stronger, the voids in our hearts grown deeper and longer. We see many signs you send from above, i hope you see our that are all filled with love. We hope you can see these times that you miss, and the love that was there from me and your sis.

We think of you often.
Love Wendy and Mike

On Virginia St. by Britt

I love and miss you so much! One Memory I will never forget is when I was little and we lived on Virginia St. and in the backyard by the huge oak tree... We would play catch with a baseball and mitt... when I caught a certian amount in a row I got a dollar! I also thought your room in the basement was the coolest, with shag carpet ALL OVER the whole room! U had Scorpians and I had Dwarf Hamsters... One of mine was sooo mean, So we decided to see who would win, hamster VS Scorpian... Well to make a long story short the Scorpian won and I was crying in the end when my hamster was in pain, twitching and twice the size... So I dug a grave in the back yard and it was shot with a bb gun. One more thing, When U and dad where building that doll house for me and I was exhiled from the basement, I got a peek at it one day when no one was gaurding the basement door. I had an idea of what it might be, but in the end when u guys revealed it to me, it was way better and bigger and more special than I ever thought it was going to be. That was one of my favorite toys for a LONG time even though it had to stay at Grams house. It is still around at my mom and dad's for all the young'ns to play with and when they r older they will read this one day, they'll remember that doll house and know where it came from : )
Love Britt

WHAT A WONDERFUL SON by MOM

MY WONDERFUL SON. I KNEW YOU WERE A BOY FROM THE FIRST MOMENT I REALIZED I WAS PREGNANT. YOU WERE A WONDERFUL, AND CURIOUS BOY, BUT NEVER ANY TROUBLE. AS YOU GREW UP, AS ALL BOYS DO, YOU GOT INTO MISCHIEF, BUT NEVER (AT LEAST NOT THAT I KNEW OF), ANY REAL TROUBLE. I WILL ALWAYS HAVE NOTHING BUT WONDERFUL MEMORIES OF YOU. THE WONDERFUL FATHER YOU WERE TO ALEX (THE LIGHT OF YOUR LIFE), THE FABULOUS HOUSEKEEPER, COOK, LAUNDRY PERSON, AND MOST OF ALL MY FAVORITE SON. I"M SO VERY SAD AT NOT HAVING YOU TO CALL EVERYDAY (TWICE A DAY), AND NOT BEING ABLE TO SPEND TIME WITH YOU WHEN I COME TO MICHIGAN. JUST AS ALEX WAS THE LIGHT OF YOUR LIFE, YOU WERE THE LIGHT OF MINE AND MY HEART WILL GO ON, BUT NEVER BE WHOLE AGAIN. I HAS EVERY ASSURANCE THAT I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN. YOU ARE MY SON SHINE.
