very nicely done brandy, thanx for sharing
 
thank you but that is not the one i made. It is the one his moms friend made. ~ Brandy
 
Today is the day that we will venture out into the rain and maybe snow and spread Michael's ashes up where he died :( I am very saddened, but happy to know he was doing what he loved when he left us. ~ Brandy
 
I can only imagine what you are going through Brandy. It seems you are staying positive and charishing the good memories and that is key when coping with situations like this. I'm happy your are still a part of this forum. Thank you for all the updates and videos, I'm sure it wasn't an easy thing for you to do.
 
it is a daily struggle and i still have moments when i say this is not REAL, but I know it is. I was saddened and shocked to actually see the tree that killed Michael and to know that the helmet had a decent crack in it from the impact according to Cal Fire Responding Captain. He also informed me that they hooked him up to the defibrillator, but there was no shockable heart rythms :(

Brandy, I really feel for you. Twice I have witnessed the passing of good friends due to circumstances beyond their control, it is really horrible.

Be consoled that the great memories of Mike will be forever in your heart, the sadness of his passing will fade with time.

Mike has made contributions to this world which shine in your beautiful children.

I urge you to visit that tree often, revisit fond memories, shed a tear or two, and rejoice in the fact that Mike was one fantastic guy.

Keep strong Brandy and now focus your attention on your Family and the future.

Every day you and your family are offered up in prayer, not only by my family but the Christian organisations I am involved with.

If you have any special needs that I can assist with please feel free to PM me.

I have a motto which I firmly believe in, "There is nothing going to happen to me today that God and I cannot handle".
