Oh, Mike, how the years pass us by. It was in the early 90's that we met and spent many an hour playing backgammon over the net, in the days when the Internet was pretty much text-based. The games were always enjoyable, though I cannot remember winning a single one, and the kibbitzing was all the better ;) I think of those times very fondly, for the friendship we shared. Just thinking of you today ... and whenever the word backgammon pops to mind.

Dearest Michael,
I never met you, but I certainly knew of you, because we shared the same Uncle John and cousins Maureen and Eddie. I want to thank you for creating this site. I'm imaging conversations on the other side between you and my brother, Paul. He was brilliant, too.
With gratitude and love,
Lisa Forman

Too cold to hang around your grave this year Mike. But I did remember, on that day. Who should I meet on the subway yesterday but Craig and Greg. Still together, still with a store.

I want to thank you for createing the easiest way for me to visit my
father whenever the mood strikes me, no matter if his "cemetery" is closed
or not I can come here, send him some flowers and 'talk' to him. My
father is my guidance even past his death and no matter what being able to
'talk' to him always means the world to me!
Thank you so much for such a wonderful idea, may God Bless you and
keep you close at hand! I am sure you were a very special man! Lori

Well Mike, the number of roses equals the number of years now. First time, though, that the weather hasn't been so crappy that I've tossed them and run! I could linger this time, and think. It was good to do.

I am sitting here in tears because these tributes are truly remarkable and
beautiful and because I and everyone else I know have been blessed with
way to pay tribute to our loved one whenever, wherever, we may be. Thank
You Michael. You were truly an Angel before your time.

Although we have never met this was left out of respect. It has been way
too long since flowers have been left. I am a part of the proof now that
your life here on earth has been and is still effecting the living on this
planet. Your site/creation has truly touched me!
To those who come to see,
who here in grave is laid,
death is your lot,
forget it not,
a debt that must be paid.

What an amazing idea this is, and how poignant that Michael was able to
set it up before his own death. I survived Hodgkin's Disease in 1980, despite doctors predicting that I
would not do so. I have watched my children grow up and get married, have
recently become a grandfather, and have accepted more easily the recent
diagnosis of an untreatable leukemia, balancing it against these extra
years and experiences. I have learned to value every day of my life,
something most people never do. I am sorry that Mike did not get that
chance.

Back again this year, Mike, with three roses. Too much snow on the ground to find your exact spot, but roses plunged into a snowbank looked weird enough to have amused you. Called your mom too, as I promised I would. She's fine -- bought a new condo! You'd have liked that -- always worried how your friends and family would make out.

This is such a truly wonderful idea.
What a tribute to Michael, lasting and forever.

I never knew Michael, and I would never have known of him if I
hadn’t lost my brother Gary. Looking at what Michael has created
here it astounds me. It is wonderful that Michael was prepared
for the inevitability of death and equally great that he has
offered the opportunity to the families of the dead to express
their grief and share their feelings. This site is an
outstanding achievement and a great personal statement of human
kindness and understanding. God Bless You Michael. ;o)

Special man, gone but oh so definitely not forgotten. I always
smile when I think about you, your enthusiasm for life and your
smile, it always made me smile back (and still does). Wish I
could have known you when I was "grown up" but no regrets, life
is too short. See you later.

Today’s the first anniversary of your death, Mike, and I put three roses on your grave. A miserable, cold and stormy day. The stone is finally there, marking your spot. I miss you still.
Hello All, I am writing to tell everyone that I miss Mike very much, especially now that I have to figure my computer problems out for myself :) For all of you who were close to Mike, his cat, Silky, is doing very well. I look forward to reading all of his “flowers” and would like to say hello to his mother, Andria, whom I know will be visiting this site. Joe Molaski
I am sorry that I did not have an opportunity to say goodbye. You will be remembered with many happy moments.
