Remembering the 1 year anniversary

October 28th was the one year anniversary of Michael's passing. It's hard to believe that it has been a year since I have seen, spoke to or hugged my brother. The year has had many ups and downs but I take comfort in knowing that Michael is around me all the time and watching over me.

To honor and remember the one year anniversary I put together a momento that I sent out to many friends and family. I had bracelets made for all to wear as they choose. I wear my bracelet everyday and it makes me smile when I look down at it.....

(Gone, but not FORGOTTEN)
With the help of my friend Kim, I made a memory card to go along with the bracelets. Awhile back I found a great poem that I really liked so I included the poem on the card along with some pictures of Michael.....

It warms my heart to hear that some people are wearing their bracelets everyday and I know that Michael is looking down and smiling!!!

What a great way to honor your brother's memory Jennifer. You have certainly been an amazing sister to him and for that, you should be very proud.

Your uncle Phil and I have never had our bracelets off since the 28th of October. Thank you for sharing your love of him with all of us. We know him better because of you - our precious Jennifer.
Love, Aunt Nancy
