The Aftermath

The Grief Continues

The following photos were taken more than a year after the fatal crash that took Mike away from us. I hope they will help people to understand that the effects of a tragedy like ours do not simply go away when your loved one is buried. Our pain and grief are still a very prominent part of our everyday lives. Mike's funeral was planned by my children, Mike's parents, his only brother and a close family friend. Due to the severity of my own injuries I was unable to take part in any of the planning for his funeral. I was only able to attend the funeral by ambulance with paramedics present at all times. Unfortunatly, due to the sedation and pain medication most of his funeral was a blur to me. I planned this Memorial Service as my gift to him, as a way of saying goodbye to him and to celebrate the life he had lived.


"God Grant Me The

Serenity To Accept Those

Things I Can Not Change.

Courage To Change Those

Things I Can. And Wisdom To

Know The Difference."
