Well Matthew, it has been two years

As of July 27th. It has been the longest

two years of my life. My life has changed

forever and will never be the same without

you .I want you to know We miss and love

you so much. My heart is broken. I know I

have to go on in life with out you here. I know

every one tells me you can't change it

so just keep his memories alive. I don't think

people really feel what I feel unless they have

lost a child. I go on every day and there is

not one day that I don't have you on my

mind. The day you left, a piece of me went

with you. I hated to tell you it was all

right for you to go, but I hated to see you

in so much pain. As I laid beside you

and sang you the song Be Not Afraid.

It was killing me. I just wanted to be the

mom that could fix it all for you. Why God

Called your name I will never understand

But he has his reasons I can hear you tell

Me mom I am so afraid, please don't let me

Be forgotten, I told you it would never

happen and thank to our family and friends,also our Angel Family

they have help me keep your memories

alive. I don't know what I would do

with out them. They
having you here I love and miss you so much
have helped me so much

Your Dad is hurting also

only he is so strong because of me. But I feel

his pain .Matt I just really want to say I hate not

son. Remember ( mom are you awake

come here, Then the next words were

( But don't tell dad) We were all just so close.
Love for ever and ever
Mom and Dad










This website was created in loving memory
of our son Matthew MichalakJr.
Matthew Was born at St. Clares Hospital, at 10:45 am, On May 19th,1960 His weight was 7 lbs. 11oz. he
was 21 and 1/2 inches long.And he was beautiful.
He was our first born.
On Wednesday February 18th 2005 Matthew called us at 12:45pm to tell us he just found out he had a brain
tumor. That was just the begining of the end.They did a brain scan and found out the cancer was from another part of his body.
So with testing they found out it was lung cancer. They went in removed the left lung. God we had so much hope they removed the lung ,the tumor was getting smaller, things were just looking up. All our prayers were working .He went home still doing kemo.
Then he went for his check up and his back was bothering him so they ran more test ,and at this time told him he has cancer in the spinal Fluid, We all knew at that time what they were telling us,and so did Matthew , as parents we just didn't want to beleive this. It just hurt to bad. We went to stay with our son and beleive me you can not even understand the pain that poor child went through it was just unbearable.So they sent him to Hospice and on Wednesday July 27th 2005, he passed on. It was the worse hurt I ever felt. and this day the pain is still there.And beleive me it is no lighter.We all miss him so much.We had Matthew for 45 most wonderful years of our life..and we are thankful for that but it doesn't lessen the hurt we have.

 




He was a wonder Son, Brother , Father, and Husband.

Matthew was everything you could ask for in a son we were very close and love and miss him with every inch of our hearts. But then God called his name and took him to heaven where he no longer has anymore pain With tears in my eyes and a broken heart he has become our special Angel and keeps a close watch over all of us. We miss you
Son with all our hearts ,you are in our prayers everyday and night You are the star that shines so bright in the sky.
on day we will all meet again. God is holding our baby now, so we know you are safe at all times .
Love forever your
Mom & Dad

His legacy
In loving Memory Of Our Special Angel  
       Matthew was a loving Son and Brother, He was always happy no matter what took place. He was a strong person  he always worried about every one else and always wanted them to be happy.He loved sports ,and really loved Ohio State Football. He had a black lab he also loved very much name was Max and he did love him, and Max loved Matt as well. He would talk to his Dad every Sunday night just to talk sports they would talk for about an hour and a half. He would call me every morning at work about 7:30 am. just to check on me. We were very close. when we should have been calling him to check on him, but that was our son. He has two sisters he loved very much. He also had  three sons Matthew,Devin and Ryan. He was the best Dad......He  also left a wife he loved very much her name is Robin and she had the best husband there ever could be and she misses him very much. He always said I married you because you have such a beautiful smile and always stand beside me no matter what and I love you so much.We are proud of our Son.We Love and Miss him more that words can ever say He is Our Angel now untill we meet again Matthew struggled with lung cancer for 5 months. His last days at Hospice were very hard on him he was in alot of pain.He was so strong. We all had to let him go in Peice, so the night before Matthew Passed I laid beside him to confort him and let him know it was alright to go in Peace.I sang the hymn Be Not Afraid to him read the bible abit more, and we even went to the ocean ,see Matt loved the ocean so much. For the first time I seem to get really tired and went to the room with his Dad ,we told him we will be back in the morning at 6am. We kissed him and left.Matthew passed away at 5;45 am that morning. He went in Peace to be with God. But you see we all still miss you very much. Love you Mom and Dad
