For our daddy, son, brother, cousin, nephew and friend.

In Memory of

Michael John McRae

November 21, 1978 - February 25, 2010

Where has the year gone?

It has slipped away.

Such a beautiful soul Michael; your smile lit up a room,

the sound of your laughter was infectious.

When we close our eyes, we see you with a ball glove

over your mouth and nose.

You loved the smell of the leather of your glove.

We remember the red socks

you used to wear on the ball diamond. 

We remember the twinkle in your left eye;

We remember how you could never tell us a fib

and get away with it because your face gave you away;

We remember how in awe you were of your daughter

when she was born and we knew you understood

the love of a parent for his child.

Our lives are better for having you in it and

they changed forever that awful night,

But when our days are difficult, we remember

your beautiful smile and if we listen hard

We'll hear your voice for awhile.

God has you in his keeping, Michael.

We have your in our hearts.

Life will go on but will never be the same,

We miss you so much

We remember you with love in our hearts and

thank God for the time we had together.

Always and forever,

Your family
