As time passess  / Pam
As time passes, as it seems to do, in its infinite way, it’s amazing that the heart continue to beat. But it does. It doesn’t miss a beat of the pain. It doesn’t miss a beat of the sorrow. It doesn’t miss a beat of the longing for our children whom we have lost. It doesn’t miss a beat of the tender memories we hold dear and close. As time passes, as it seems to do, in its infinite way, the meaning of forever never gets easier to comprehend. Forever is never again having them physically present in this life with us. Forever is wishing things were different. Forever is wondering what would be today if our children were with us. Forever is the feeling it’s unbearable to live with this. As time passes, as it seems to do, in its infinite way, other’s think time should lessen the struggle. But what they don’t know is, it doesn’t. With time, it doesn’t get any easy. Time doesn’t heal our broken hearts. Time doesn’t forget what loss is. Time doesn’t help them to understand losing a child is the greatest trial a parent can confront. Time is only teaching us to learn to live with this tremendous loss. As time passes, as it seems to do, our futures move in on us. The future is realizing that the hopes and dreams for them have ended. The future is finding a way to move through this journey of loss. The future is honoring them in the vivid life we know they lived and keeping their memories alive. The future is knowing I will be you friend till the end of time, never denying you your pain, never being afraid to hear you speak your child’s name, never expecting you to get over it. Instead, always with you in this journey, always understanding the difficulty of this journey, always wishing you peace and love as often has you can.

thinking of you  / Wendy Conner (sister)
hey bro, been playin poker all day with Chuckie....gettin my butt kicked...a little help please...I love you and i miss you way too much Close

Hmm.. / Brynn Callis (Little sister )

I     LOVE    YOU    BIG  BROTHER !!!<3

You were gone before we knew it,
with no time to say good-bye;
You gave us no sign or warning,
and only God knows why.
Now you're up in heaven,
and riding with the best.
Far up above our heads,
way up in the sky, you rest.
We miss you very dearly,
but that much you already know.
We think of you every day,
rain or shine, sleet or snow.
Without you here,
the sadness is very rife.
Our lives lost some joy
the day you lost your life. 

<3 <3 <3 <3

I saw a beautiful butterfly today, thought of you. I miss you buddy! Close

Greatly Missed  / Sarie Johnson (Music Promoter )
Its taken me a while to find what to say-I just wish I had gotten to know Mike Better-But Mike, your missed. I remember the first LND I went to and promoted for with Painted Red-Andrew assured me I would love them - I didn't and I told them I didn't like the music but I respected them for getting up there and doing their thing- The music was good for what they played-Just not my cup of Tea- I'm glad that I was able to work with Abell- My younger brother (Terry J) and I will talk about Abell from time to time-He hung out with him more than I had and we'd laugh at stories

One thing about Mike- You'd never see him down, always smiling and goofing off- Some of my favorite moshing stories stem from LND Shows... Our thoughts are always with you-We miss you man-I'll catch you in the mosh pits on the other side! Close

missing you bad today  / Wendy Conner (sister)
hey bro, just got home from volleyball! I had so much fun and I could feel you all around! Nice fireworks from down here, how was your view? Wild I bet! And plus the lightning  show! It was an awesome day, just wish I could have hugged you bye like I did everyone else. Christina  looks good! Guess you kinda know that though! Anyhoo, I love you and I just wanted to take a minute to tell ya!
Kisses......
Love-Wendy

A Few Words About Michael  / Wendy Conner (Sis)
I just thought I'd share a few thoughts...Michael Paul was an awesome individual. He had such an impact  on so many. It was great to see so many people come out for the memorial. Thanks! Close

Just dropped by this site..  / Joshua Sullivan (Not well known by him, but was inspired by him to be a drummer )
Dont know how, but I ended up on this site..And have a few thigns to say. Abell was an awesome drummer, and just seeing him play drums with lnd and my brother david was so awesome..So I picked up drums...And he always kept me going, and though I barely ever even knew him I miss him like crazy and every time I hear sorrows I think Im gonna cryncause it brings back so many memories of their song being played on the radio..the concerts..and all of that. Abell, I wish you were still here...Still here to teach how you have so much energy at your shows..And how you play and all that...You rock, and Im gonna miss you..Peace. Close

Still can't believe it...  / T.K. Strauss (former co-worker )
Mikee was a great guy. I worked w/his Mom for many years at "the worlds biggest toy store", and Mike would often put in an appearance. He was a good kid taken by unknown forces WAY too soon. I wish Mike and Cindy all the best. They know where to find me. Sorry it took so long for this.
I hope whoever had anything to do with his demise will suffer a horrible and painful demise.... Close
