Fly to the Angels :
Pictures of you
They're still on my mind
You had the smile
That could light up the world
Now it rains
It seems the sun never shines
And I'll drive down
This lonely lonely road
Ooh I got this feelin'
I gotta let you go
'Cause now you've got to fly

Fly to the angels
Heavens awaits your heart
And flowers bloom in your name
You've got to fly
Fly to the angels
All the stars in the night
Shine in your name
You know it hurts me
Way deep inside
When I turn and look
And find that you're not there
I try to convince myself
That the pain, the pain
It's still not gone.

Reading this beautiful letter Patty wrote to her beloved son, I can understand why Mike Murray is so very special to everyone who is lucky enough to say they know him. He touched many lives and will continue to touch lives through their wonderful memories. Mike has a wonderful family that honor him every day. Patty, you are a very special lady to reach out to give comfort--you inspire me to reach out more and to try to be as caring as you. Happy Birthday Michael.

Happy Birthday

I would like to share a note Patty wrote to her dear son on his myspace page. His many, many friends still log on to his site leaving notes of comfort. This was an open letter to him and for all the kids who need to find peace on this special day. Birthdays are extremly important to our family, so this will be a celebration of the gift he was to each of us. We will be celebrating tonight, cake and all(at his friends request), and remembering a boy we all love & miss dearly.

Happy Birthday Mikey
I have been thinking a lot about what would be appropriate in celebrating Mikes Birthday. I never will forget the day God has blessed me and the world with such a wonderful gift.

Although Mike can not be here with us physically to celebrate his birthday I know he is with us spiritually. Michael will always watch over us and be there for us anytime we look for him. Mike loved his family, friends, and people in general. He valued every relationship and loved all who were a part of his life.

Mike would never want us to feel alone or lost missing him. On his birthday I want us all to honor his values and stay together. Reach out to those who are close to you. Value the people and family in your life today. Lean on each other, trust each other, and celebrate what he has meant to each of us.

We all have fond memories of Michael. Cherish your memories, honor your loss, but do not feel sorrowful. Instead think of that fun memory and feel the joy he has given so many of us in the time we were blessed with him in our lives.

Happy Birthday Michael, I miss you terribly but I know you are in a wonderful place and we will see each other again. Love Mom

A quote by R.W. Emerson on leading a successful life.

“To have lived a successful life is to laugh often and much...to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a little bit better...to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!”

Taken 2 Soon by Foreign Nationals

The following stories involve foreign nationals that were here illegally and caused fatal accidents here in the States.

Should we allow foreign nationals that take the lives of our loved ones leave the country?

Oliver Kasprizik has returned to Germany after taking Mikey from us - maybe if had tried to flee he would still be here.

Since Kasprizik wasn't here illegally - is it really acceptable in our system for him to leave the country so easily?

HOLLAND, MI -- An illegal immigrant who allegedly caused a fatal crash by turning in front of a motorcyclist was charged Thursday with trying to leave the scene of the deadly collision.

Rodrigo Delacruz-Encarnacion, 25, is jailed on a $100,000 bond following his arraignment in Holland District Court on the felony, which is punishable by up to 15 years in prison.

Police say Delacruz-Encarnacion is responsible for killing William O'Brien, 52, of Holland in an 8 p.m. Wednesday crash. O'Brien was driving his 1996 Harley-Davidson south on Butternut Drive when the suspect's minivan turned into the path of his motorcycle.

O'Brien could not avoid the crash, and struck the passenger side of the van. He died at the scene. His family declined to comment on the accident.

Ottawa County sheriff's Lt. Steve Kempker said witnesses had to detain Delacruz-Encarnacion at the scene of the crash until police arrived. He was arrested and taken to the Ottawa County Jail.

The suspect has been in the country illegally since the spring and has been working odd jobs and living in migrant camps, police said. He allegedly had fraudulent identification when he was arrested.

Authorities believe Delacruz-Encarnacion is a risk for fleeing the area since he has no ties to Holland.

AURORA, Colo. (Map, News) - A man accused in a hit-and-run crash that killed three people in Aurora is scheduled to appear in court Monday.

Aurora police say 23-year-old Francis Hernandez was the driver of an SUV that ran a red light on Thursday, crashed into a pickup, and pushed it into a Baskin Robbins ice cream shop.

Two women in the pickup died instantly, and a toddler who was inside the shop died later at a hospital.

A memorial of cards, flowers, candles and stuffed animals is growing outside the store.

Immigration officials say it appears Hernandez was born outside the U.S., and have placed a hold on him. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Carl Rusnok says that means Hernandez will be handed over to immigration authorities if the state releases him.

One More Day (lyrics:Diamond Rio)


Last night I had a crazy dream

A wish was granted just for me

It could be for anything

I didnt ask for money,Or a mansion in malibu

I simply wished, for one more day with you

One more day, One more time, One more sunset,

maybe Id be satisfied

But then again, I know what it would do

Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you

First thing Id do, is pray for time to crawl

Then Id unplug the telephone

And keep the tv off

Id hold you every second

Say a million I love yous

Thats what Id do, with one more day with you

Mikey Murr - Taken 2 Soon

Mike was Taken 2 Soon by a senseless accident that has changed all of our lives forever.
We are all reeling from the pain, shock, anger and sadness.

Hundreds of friends and family gathered together to pay respect to him and prop each other up for the days ahead.

At the candlelit vigil and funeral service people stood to offer words of loving remembrance and stories about living with Mikey.

He now lies within the protective aura of his godfather whose resting place is right behind Mike's and depicts Fred as larger than life even after death.

While Oliver Kasprizik likely did not intend to take him from us that day, the combination of his negligence and our traffic laws have allowed him to return to Germany with a mere traffic ticket.

This has increased the confusion that we all feel in trying to grapple with the trauma that has touched all of our lives.

The increase in the use of motorcycles and scooters in these days of high gas prices has seemingly increased the number of motorcycle related accidents and deaths to an unnerving level.

Our hearts are broken and a hole has been blown through the fabric of our lives and reality.

Mikey was clearly Taken 2 Soon from us all.
