Micah: It has been a pleasure to know your mother and father these last few years and to get to know you through them. They love you so much and hurt so bad now that they have lost you. I told them to thank God above for the time they had you and to ask you to pray for them and for healing. You can do that. Tell your dear mother to forgive herself--she was the best Mom!! They will never forget you as will those who knew and loved you. Blessings on the Rooneys today and always. |

Son,
Its me the one you left behind. Its Mothers Day and thought I would write one more time. Its cloudy today and cool. I went to work thinking it would keep me occupied but that didnt work this time. I came home to think of you and all the past Mothers Days we spent together. 34 I believe our first you were only a few weeks old. That one was the best 'cause we were together! You were a good baby and slept through the night when you were only a month old. Sweet sweet baby you were to me. I miss your eyes that danced when you were happy, the bear hugs that could leave breathless when they were so tight, and that grin so big your face would dissapear when you smiled. I spent the day yesterday with Pop and the beautiful boys you helped bring into this world. Thank you for that gift. We had a great time. Laser tag and Conner won whooped Grandpas and Jake's butt! We had lots of laughs and smiles. We looked at old videos of the kids when they were little and then your basic training graduation. The boys loved it so Pop made a copy of it for them to take home. We told stories about you and I taught Conner how to truck walk. He thought that was great. I told him how you loved doing that and would make me stumble and just laugh!! We had fun. It was a good day better if you had been here with us. You were in spirit I think. I just wanted to thank you for 34 Mother's Days they will always be precious to me. I love you son and always will. Your my heart, my light and now my angel!

I know you are smiling down on all of us who loved you waiting to reunite again one day in the future. I have felt your presence and I would like you to keep checking in on me often. You are the brother I never had and I love you very much, I will remember you always. Your Brother, Allan |

Micah,
It's been a couple of days now since we said our fair wells. I thought it might be a little bit easier for me to write this if I procrastinated. I was wrong.
Your laugh would always bring a smile to the most depressed soul and now I know it's brightening the faces of angels. Your smile and caring personality would always warm the coldest of rooms. You were a wonderful man and an even better cousin. I could sit here and write for days but I really just want you to know that you'll be missed and never forgotten. I love you Micah and always will.
Your cousin,
L.J. |

I have been trying to come up with just the right words, and cannot, to express how sad we are and how heavy our hearts are for you both at this moment in time. When I think of Micah I remember the early days at the Lake, staying in the trailer, and how he LOVED to be pulled on the inner tube behind the boat. That image always makes me smile. Please know we love you both and think about you and Micah many times a day. |

Son you forgot to tell me how to live without you before you left. I wake up the same and for a few brief seconds everything is the same. Then I open my eyes and and I realize the light that filled my heart is gone. You have to help me son I dont know how to live without you. If you know how to get a fix a heart manual send it my way. Im going to do something for you everyday. Today we are hiking in the park. I do know that the pain will eventually be filled with joy and all the happy moments that filled my heart. I know, I know I will keep working on it until you help me get it right. Saying I miss you doesnt even come close to how I feel about you right now. You were the best of me and I love you so Mom! |

You were my soul mate, we've said it so many times and you were right you did spend the rest of your life with me. I wish our life time would have been so much longer but I'm blessed to have had you long enough to love you truly and to feel your love. You loved completely and unconditionally. I will never forget you and will keep you in my heart forever. I will feel your presence in the simple things in life. You were a remarkable person and I loved our life together. The pieces of our puzzle just fit together perfectly. I love you and will see you again one day. |

I was stunned and saddened today when Dad called and told me about Micah. The mere mention of his name made me smile and laugh a little before he told me the news. Micah always made me laugh, sometimes in disbelief, but laugh nonetheless. I remember babysitting him at your cool house in JC and at our house, too a few times. Boy, did he keep me on my toes!! Just when I thought he'd thought of everything possible to play or do or say, he'd come up with something else and I'd laugh again. He had a sweet nature, too. I remember one time in particular at my folks' house. I was keeping Micah and he would not go to sleep like John's kids had. He wanted to stay up "all night." Some scary commercial came on and suddenly he was sitting on my lap in the big recliner. He looked at me with those big blue eyes and that charming smile, all 10 years of him, and said, "Can I sit with you now?" Of course I let him and THEN he fell asleep. Sound asleep. I didn't think I'd ever get feeling back in my arm again. Neither of us could move until John came to pick up the kids. Thank you for letting me be a part of Micah's life. I know we haven't seen each other for a long, long time, but I do think of you guys and hope you know that I will be thinking of you often now. I will keep you in my prayers. Micah's spirit is strong like yours, Debbie, and he will never be far away. Love to you all. |

I know there are no real words to say, that make this time any easier. Mine and Donna's thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Please believe that our Heavenly Father,knows the right sheep to gather for his flock. We must believe that by having Micah come home, he has only added another deserving to his flock. May the Lord bless you and Micah's children, with the loving memories I am sure he has provided you. God Bless you all. |

I went to high school with Micah and worked with his mom Debby at Cap Region (Still Hosp.) many, many, many years ago. My heart hurts for his family, especially his children. I have posted this poem that was helpful for my when my brother passed away. May it bring comfort to you now....
"Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die. "
May God give you the strength to make it through each day. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Rest in peace, Micah. May you soar with the angels! |

Son,
I slept a bit last night. I knew it wouldn't last long though. You see today is your birthday. And just like clock work at 2:30am I was awake. So let me be the first to wish you a happy birthday today. Since our plan had been for Pop, me, you, and Debbie to be in the booth with Uncle John and Mike. The game on Sat. went 22 innings and the Cards still lost. I just figured that you were working your magic and had decided that since you weren't here physically that your spirit thought they should play two games at once to make up for that. Allan drove 17 hrs from New York to be here so I have son #2 to be my rock. You would be thrilled about all the people family and friends that are gathering for the celebration of your life. Your Pop, Debbie, and I are holding each other up. So far we haven't had the ugly cry at the same time. If we do please help us be strong and get through. I know you have seen Max and Pop since you left your physical body. But Son REALLY?? All three of you leaving within 3 months was just a little much! Happy Birthday Son. Today will be the biggest party that you have ever had because all that come to celebrate and honor you today bring their love and hearts to share. You have made being a mother a wonderful experience for me. It was worth living just to be with you! Mom |

We met for the first time in 7th grade, Jeff Junior. We were boyfriend/girlfriend from then till our Freshman year of High School off and on. Then on to High School and real life and as time went by we grew apart. I would run into you here and there and then not to long ago we shared a hug and some laughs at Angie and Ben's wedding reception. You were always so full of life and energy. You have a beautiful family, and you will be missed by many. I will always remember you! May god give your parents, Jessica, Debbie and your children strength to get through day to day. |

My husband and I met Micah a couple of weeks ago. He was with a group of our frinds, and listened as we cried and shared the pain we are going through due to the passing of our beloved boy at the end of March. Your son did not even know us, but he did not hesitate to come to us and give us each a kind hug and tell his how sorry he was. Me and my family share in the pain and loss you are in....we are there with you. My God Bless and care for us all. |

Roon, my old and dear friend. We have laughed and cried through great times and painful times beyond belief. This is one road we never wanted to see each other walk. I believe you will be okay. You will handle this like you do everything, with grace and dignity-------and a little medicine. I know you have lived your life searching for answers and meanings to things that most people never even wonder about. You will find a way to come out the other side of this tunnel with even more depth, compassion, intuitiveness than you already have. I love you old friend.
Jim- I am so sorry you have to go through this. You were an absolute blessing and gift to Micah. Take care and peace to you both. - Bray |

Dr. Rooney and Debbie,
My heart breaks for you during this difficult time. The tears flowed when I read your beautiful message Debbie. What a wonderful mom you are and such a dear friend. And "Pop" (aka Dr. Rooney, Runi, Jim) you too are my buddy, my long time coworker and science fair boss. Just like my love for both of you, I loved Micah. I remember all the times when he would come to Lincoln with you Dr. Rooney and one time when I took him home with me for the evening. He would have been about 8, maybe 9 years old then. I thought, will I be able to handle this ornery little tyke? But he was the perfect little boy... he played with me and Kirby and we had such a good time. The years passed and he grew up and I didn't get to see him as much. But I always looked forward to those phone calls when he would call school and was looking for "dad". I am so happy that I ran in to him a couple months ago at Walmart. He greeted me with that handsome beaming smile that I so loved. I thought wow, Micah gets cuter everytime I see him!! We were able to visit a bit that day and for that I am so thankful. They say time heals everything . I don't know if that's true, but I only hope you are able to find peace soon. In love and friendship .. Rhonda, Kirby, Tyler and Tara |

Dad, you've been here for me for fifteen years and took me in as your own daughter. It's crazy how many memories we've made. I will never forget our "family rockband nights"...No matter how bad we sang together, we never quit. And also playing catch down on our street until dark or until I couldn't feel my arm any longer. You've never made me feel any different than Conner, Jacob, or Lexi. In fact, you told me you loved me every chance you got. It blows my mind thinking how fast a person can be taken from you and it makes me regret not spending as much possible time with you as I could...but I do know you are watching over me and you'll never let anything happen to me. We have had our fights just as well as everyone else but I want you to know more than anything that I love you sooooo much!!! And I miss you more than imaginable. I know not to be sad thoughh because you're in a better place than all of us and you aren't in any pain. So dad, I will see you soon and I love you. |

Micah,
You and I used to be good pals - I always looked forward to getting off work and coming to yours and Jess's house to play some PlayStation. Those were the good old days.
It seems so surreal that you're gone, but we know you're going to be there watching over your boys as they grow up to be men, and beautiful Haley and Alexis as they grow into a beautiful young ladies.
It's times like these when you think of things unsaid - so this is the last chance I have to say we'll miss you.

I only knew Micah for a short time, but it was like I knew him for years. He became a very special friend to me and he always told me of the love for his family.I will miss him very much,and I am so sorry for loss. |

Micah, Son, Father of my beautiful grandchildren, Soldier and the light of my life for 34 years 11 months and 15 days, this is for you.
You came into my life affirmimg what we both knew, we were supposed to be together and take this journey for however long it would last. You were yong in so many ways but you were an old soul bringing lessons with you to teach and with more for your soul to learn.
You never met a stranger and that was endearing it also gave a young mother pause because you thought everyone was good and there was no one that would ever hurt you. Im flooded with memories large and small, happy and sad and then the knowing comes to me in waves buliding as they rush to my soul and wash over me and then for a moment I feel peace. Then it is gone. You will tell me when its time and peace will come to stay. Remember the old man at the top of the hill with a walking stick and long white beard bending over and reaching out his hand to pull me up? I know you do and you are probably saying right now "oh Mom". You were so giving to everyone sometimes to a fault. You didnt care you kept giving. I am in awe of you and the many good things you did in your life. I thought I would leave this life first this time around but I was wrong. I guess I have more to learn and I know you will help me. Your love came to the lake today with your friends that love you so. Your Debbies will be ok and all the lives you have touched will surround us and Pop with their light and love. Your Pop was so very proud of you. He might not of told you enough times but that's a guy thing I think. But he told everyone else that would listen how good, strong, brave, fearless, you were but more than that he told them of your heart and the love for your children and your sense of duty to your country. Pop crys in my arms now and will for awhile and we will hold each other, be strong and share our memories and feel your spirit around us.
What a ride we have had son!! I just wanted to post something for folks to read so they know how much you were loved by us. To let them know that when lessons are learned sometimes it is just time to go. I chant your name and surround myself with your positive energy and light when I meditate. Im finding peace there son so "no worries". I have found many pictures of you through the years. Your cheeks will turn red as I show them to everyone as we gather to celebrate and honor your life. Alan made me do it doesnt that ring true. Yep I knew Alan told his Mom you made him do it to. He will be here soon. Your brother is coming to send you on your new journey. As the sun comes up I look ahead to the days that your family and friends who love you will gather one more time and take you to the mountains in Colorado where the physical Micah will rest and make flowers bloom and birds sing and be part of the the circle of life again. Son you were my best blessing, teacher, friend, and you gave me your all and you were the brightest light.
Well I gotta do this one last thing that you asked me to never to do again when you were in basic training, oh yeah so everyone is gonna see it now how I signed the back of the envelopes that I sent my letters in "THIS IS SEALED WITH A MOM KISS". This time you dont have to do the push ups! Your my heart and now my angel...love and peace to you son. Rainy your Mom! |
