I am sad and grateful for our short time together, enriched for having had you and blessed to have your remarkable spirit with us forever.
Especially today, Mother’s Day, l need you beside me. Not a day goes by where we don’t think of you and miss you and wish we could go back to our old lives.
The night of May 13, 2005 when you were taken from us I lost a big piece of my heart which is broken in a million pieces. Our family chain has forever been broken and nothing seems the same but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
Forever in our hearts Mom, Dad, Samantha & Jordan
Mike, I carry your heart with me.
I carry it in my heart
I am never without it
Anywhere I go, you go.
Mom
HOW TO SAVE A LIFE
"The Frey"
Step one you say we need to talk He walks you say sit down it's just a talk He smiles politely back at you You stare politely right on through Some sort of window to your right As he goes left and you stay right Between the lines of fear and blame You begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best Cause after all you do know best Try to slip past his defense Without granting innocence Lay down a list of what is wrong The things you've told him all along Pray to God he hears you And pray to God he hears you
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice You lower yours and grant him one last choice Drive until you lose the road Or break with the ones you've followed He will do one of two things He will admit to everything Or he'll say he's just not the same And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong (where did I go wrong), I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up (I would have stayed up) with you all night Had I known how to save a life __________________
Perhaps this is what Mike believed:
"Its nice to be important, but its more important to be nice"

MICHAEL ALEX CONN'S LEGACY Mike left behind his mother, Harriet, his dad Douglas, his sister Samantha. He left behind Nanny Boca, Papa, Grampa and Nanny Jupiter. He also left behind his Aunt Laurie, and Uncle Jeff. He also left behind our dog Kola who has recently passed and our parrot Captain Morgan (aka Blue Chicken and we can't forget our birds Punkin, Harley and Cody (the green potatoes).
Mike was working in the family business and hopefully one day the business would be his to run so that we could someday retire just like his papa did. We are so proud of him, and everyday he walked into our office , we had a big smile on our faces.He was learning the business and was doing a good job, and because of his sweet personality customers responded well to him.
We now have to live the rest of our lives without the warmth and sunshine our angel brought us.It is so lonely without him.When he came home we lit up with joy to be with our boy.He is a large part of our lives , a wonderfull part.Now that he is not physically with us, our home is now just a house.
Since Mikes death our lives are a living hell, When we wake up in the morning it takes a few seconds to realize this isn't a nightmare , but a reality.I know it takes a long time to heal from such a tragedy, it is a day by day job of healing, and I know the pain will subside in the years to come , and the bitter will turn to sweet memories.But in the mean time it is torture.Loosing a child is the worst thing that can happen to a person or family. My heart goes out to every family that is going through the same grief, an despare.One day we will understand how this can happen, but right now we can't.It will probably take the rest of our lives to understand , but until then we will be in pergatory.
In the past few months I learned a lesson, that personal posessions and monetary success have no meaning, The only thing that is important is family and friends and the love and compassion you have for them, also giving a helping hand to neighbors and strangers in need.These are the qualities that we instilled in Mike , and I know in my heart that is also what he believed.
