My Brother, My Friend


On Friday night my little brother, MIchael, was killed in a 4-wheeler accident. I think I am still numb. I miss him. He was my friend, my brother, and a great uncle to my babies. I don't know how you ever understand why someone only gets a short 18 years of life, but I do have faith that he is still with us in our hearts.

I miss him and love him, and look forward to hearing the goofy laugh again.

Bye brother . . .

What a priceless picture. We usually never understand the "whys" in this life, as Julie and many others who have loved ones know. But we hold fast to our faith and know that our Savior knows our pain. We enjoyed Michael in our home several times and mourn his loss with you at this time.

I wish I got to know him better. I met him several times and now wish I made better use of the opportunity. I did know that he was a great brother and a great uncle. I am so sorry Megan.

Megan, I am so sorry for your loss. I just got home from Michael's funeral and was thinking about your amazing talk. I think your talk was amazing. I hope you'll post it, or at least parts of it for people to read and look at and remember. Your quotes were amazing. I would love to have them. I'm thinking and praying for you and your family.
Love always, Mandy (Lewis) Woodhouse
