IN TRIBUTE Michele Mick Died Aug. 11, 2001 Hazlet has been one year since any of us has seen your face or heard your voice. This year has been the hardest and saddest year any of us has ever experienced. I can live in peace knowing that you're in heaven.

I can also live in peace knowing that all of us will see you again. But it is so hard living peacefully knowing that it will be a very long time before I can just be next to you, look at you, and most of all, talk to you. I'm so happy God gave me you as my loving sister. You definitely were unique and full of life (I know you still are in heaven). You are also very, very missed.

Danielle and E.J. miss their mommy. Mom, Dad and Kirk miss you awful. Everyone does. Sometimes I wonder if God took you so that you could help all the victims.

How lucky are they to have you to comfort them. For now, we'll all have to comfort each other to ease the pain of not being with you! I know that you can feel how much we love you. For now, we will talk to you in our prayers and see you in our dreams. I miss you and love you.
