May you and your family find peace and comfort in knowing that your Dad is with your Brother. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers during this holiday season. God bless you.

When we lose a parent, we feel as if we have just lost a part of our childhood, those special memories that that parent always told at family gatherings, the memories that once embarassed you, but later became the ones you couldn't wait to hear so you could laugh at yourself surrounded by those you love. Losing that part, changes you forever. Your love is transformed by that loss. You will find the extreme grief is only temporary, but it is grief that will remain with you forever. You are a child who lost a parent, how could that loss ever leave you. I know my comments have not been of most comfort, and if you have read this far, thank you, because, I have hope....there are moments that you see things that remind you, you may hear a song, dream of that person, all these things are constant reminders that your love is real and alive inside you that that person has forever changed you, made their mark so to speak, and that, those small reminders, will make you smile. I lost my father in 94. I am the baby and loved him more than I can possibly describe. THe other day I caught a song on the radio, the first time I had ever heard it, every lyric I could picture my dad, he was alive to me in the words of that song. A day or two later, I asked my sister (the oldest and who swears that she was my dads favorite) had she ever heard the song. She stated yeah, and that it was an old song. I told her that I had heard it for the first time the other day and it reminded me of daddy. She said it does me too! And we just smiled! Thank you for reading this, as I know there are so many people praying for you and your family during this time. Grief will ease, but it will remain your constant companion, but it's there to help you see things that you may have missed had it not been with you. Memories and reminders will wash over your skin, wrap around your heart, and help you feel the love that you thought you lost is alive and real inside of you. I pray that you find this place swiftly because it longs for you. I also hope that you have sibilings to share in your grief, that years from now, you hear a song and can say to your brother or sister, that song reminds me of dad and have them look at you and say, me too! Love those moments, look for those moments. THere you will find your comfort and solace, and your dad!

To the family of Mikey G. Markus
As I read the news of a Father,Husband and Friend to All has left this earth to go home, to live in the glory of our Lord and Savor Jesus Christ, I know all to well the pain and heartache you all fell.
As you see I too have lost my father(06/06) & mother(12/07). I can't give you any magic words of wisdom only your hearts can.
As the tears flow let them wash the sorrow away. Bringing the smiles and laughter as you remember him.
