Dearest Michael,
We miss you and really think about you all the time. You were a good friend to my son Alex...you were a little bit older and he looked up to you. He attended your Bar Mitzvah and was so excited to go! We all remember preparing him for this big event. We are an Italian/American family and we didn't have any experience with events like this! I recall how excited Alex was to attend and dress properly as well as, learning the edicate for a Bar Mitzvah! You had so much fun with all of your friends. We were your across the street neighbors for a time. We had fun, I loved your Mom. I think that she even set me up or tried to on a blind date! How fun was that! We will always miss you Michael and think of you always. On this Mother's Day, I pray and wish that your Mom receives a little bit of peace and the joy of your spirit. She looks beautiful. May you rest in the eternal love, light, joy and peace in the hands of the Almighty King.
In your loving memory we write to you......you will always be in our hearts...♥
Sheryl Santoro and Alex Acevedo

Sometimes it seems that nobody understands
The pain of losing your child
It seems like only yesterday
And I remember the horror:
The police knocking at the door in the middle of the night
Making funeral arrangements (funeral arrangements?) for my son
Asking his best friends - boys who were just yesterday playing ball and laughing with him - to say something about you at the funeral service.
That awful empty feeling in the pit of my stomach when the limousine from the funeral home drove up to our house
Seeing the casket poised above the concrete
Waking up every morning for weeks and for a blessed split second thinking everything was right with the world, then the reality crashing in that he was dead.
Fumbling my way, somehow, through the days and nights.
Yes my friends, its been 4 years
And it still hurts to say his name
To think what he might have been doing now with his life
To realize what a waste of a young life it was.
In Memorium of
Michael Alex Conn
January 8, 1987 – May 13, 2005
So completely you were here among us,
And so quickly you were gone.
High on angel's wings you rise,
Onward, upward to Heavenly Skies.
You were a precious gife from g-d who loaned you to us for a short time. You are missed more than you can ever know. We love you precious one, but g-d loves you too.
I am sad and grateful for our short time
together, enriched for having had you and
blessed to have your remarkable spirit with
us forever.
l need you beside
me. Not a day goes by
where we don’t think
of you and miss you
and wish we could go
back to our old lives.
The night of May 13,
2005 when you were
taken from us I lost a big
piece of my heart which is
broken in a million pieces. Our
family chain has forever been broken and
nothing seems the same but as God calls us
one by one, the chain will link again.
Forever in our hearts
Mom, Dad, Samantha & Jordan
Mike, I carry your heart with me.
I carry it in my heart
I am never without it
Anywhere I go, you go.
Mom
HOW TO SAVE A LIFE
"The Frey"
Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
Pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong (where did I go wrong), I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up (I would have stayed up)
with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
