The Wiseman Family,
I am sorry for the loss of your loved one. I did not know Micheal personally. From what i hear he was a great man. I wept for him at his memorial service, for at the same time i was having similar issues as he. I prayed that God would have mercy on his soul and take care of Micheal for all of eternity. Just rest asure that Micheal is in good care with the Lord and he is finally at peace. May God bless each and everyone in your family and put your crying hearts at ease. God Bless You!
Sincerely,
Spc. Nathan Brown
Mike and I were friends in high school. We used to hang out on the weekends and paintball. I hadn't seen him since he joined the Army and I joined the Marines. I want to give my blessings to Mike's family, his friends in his unit, and to Abby. I never really thought I'd see the day. Guys, stay strong out there. I know how hard it is. Take care and always remember Mike for the awesome person he was.
Michael was our beloved grandson who will be missed dearly. We will miss his sense of humor and his beautiful smile. His favorite words were to say " gayness" or everything is gay" God only knows how much we loved him and will miss him. Our lives are empty but the memories of him will give us peace. We love you Michael and always will.
Love Grandma & Grandpa
To the Parents of Michael: While I never had the pleasure of meeting your son, I want to send my heartfelt sympathy for what you are now having to endure. My son, Sgt. Bailey, is in your son's platoon and speaks of fond memories to me of Michael. I asked for your home address so that I could send you a card. But this avenue became available, hence my writing to you this way. I just want you to know (as well as everyone else who reads these messages) that you are not alone in all of this. And if it weren't for this website, we would all feel lost. My thoughts are with you daily. Together we can all be strong.
Sincerely, Shelley Bailey
My deepest sympathies go to his family, friends, and family in Iraq. I will remember him as a caring, funny and extremely talented young man. I was in his platoon for a year and there are great memories there. My hopes are that he is in a good place now and that his family knows that our memories of him will never fade. god bless.
This has been my first time checking up on anything since Michaels death and it's a little comforting to read the various input. Mike was a great person and a great friend, I loved him dearly and there was nothing that I wouldn't do for him. He contained a wild eye vision for those of us who are say more subtle or timid. He was your walking improv and daily confessional, he was young and confused and most importantly he had a broken chain passion for everything at the same time, which is rare, at least in the Army. Love burst from his seams - this was obvious to those he cared about. Often I think about him, more or less in the throes of doubt and confusion, feeling empty and sad because the worlds at loss. Today we need as much true heart as possible. I have to sign off now but I'll always love Mike, he was a great friend. - Matt Knott
I can't stop thinking of your smile. You are in my thoughts every minute of the day. I still can't believe you are gone! I love you and miss you so much!! You will always be my hero! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!! You will always be my hero!!!
I come to this web site open just because it's a part of you. You will never be forgotten, you are in my thought's every waking moment of the day and night. Some day the pain will go away and all that will remaine is the wonderful memories of you. I will always love you Michael...Love Grandma
To my son who was so brave. Memories of you crowd my mind so that there is no room for anything else but YOU! You will always be in my heart forever untill I get to hold you in my arms once again. I miss you sooooooooo much it hurts. I feel so lost without you. Every where I look I see young men that resemble you so much. I want to just go up to them and give them a hug. Some day I will come to terms with this pain but for now there will always be tears. I pray that you are in the hands of God and I know that there is no grief any more. I LOVE YOU MILLIONS MOM.
