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
