To Michael's family, where do I begin?  I send you only hopes and prayers that each day will in some way begin a healing process for you. Michael was so young and had so much to live for.   So did our son Andrew, who was 18 when he died on July 16th, 2005.  He suffered blunt force trauma to his head and was pronounced dead four days later.  I know that as the holidays approach, each of you will begin to question how it is even possible to make it through a season that is so very family oriented.  I recal our first year without Andrew, but for the most part, it remains somewhat of a fog, almost as if reality was playing a game on me. Last year was tougher on me, the second year. By that time, I had begun to realize that he wasn't coming back and each day without him has been truly different for me.  I am also a member of the bereavement forum Barbara, so we can communicate there as well.  Take care of yourselves; your are in my heart and prayers.

I never had the privallege to meet michaels family, but i can tell that his mom is an amazing women, you are very strong. After michael passed away i couldn't imagine losing anyone closer to me. But i recently lost my grandma and its one of the hardest things ever. losing a family member is very hard to deal with. im so sorry for everything you have had to go through. but you and your family are in my prayers.

I never met any of Michaels family but from the man I knew him as, you guys all did a wonderful job raising him. I looked at him as my lil brother and he called me sis. He will always be missed. And the memories are what we have left...I intend to keep them alive just as I know the rest of us will. All my prayers go to the family of Michael Ray Butler. RIP bubba
