Condolences for
Michael Ryan DePerro

This goes out to all BUT the immediate family.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the best gifts I ever received were pictures of my son after he passed. Hard copies, cd compilations, Facebook photos, and even VCR tapes and floppy drive pic-disks. You name it.
So, Grandma, Auntie, Uncle, Cuz, Bestfriend, Girlfriend, Ex-girlfriends, Hotties, Homies, Bro's......you get the idea. Find everything you have, make copies if you need to, make scrapbooks to score amazing thoughtfulness points, but even just one pic never before shared is like gold to the family. (and yeah, I cherished the silly beer bong pics and frat house fun....all priceless to this Mom)
Collect all that you have on Michael and send them in by mail, email, or Facebook. IMO, send to Momma Kim just because Mom's are gatherers, better organizers, and multi-takers, and they will make certain to copy Dad on everything, especially with sisters to help coordinate.
I guarantee this will positively feed their souls and plug somee of the holes in their hearts. Losing a child is losing part of yourself. Pics and vids help put back some of the pieces.
Thanks for reading and love to you Kim and Mike. My prayers are with the both of you, and for Michael.

No words could describe the loss of a child, a brother, a cousin, a nephew, a friend. Kim, Michael and family, I am deeply saddened and offer you my prayers for your son, Michael, and everyone who knew him, so that loving arms comfort and protect your family during these darkest of days.
I, too, lost my Alex suddenly (almost 24) and I still want to scream at people who say it gets better with time. It never gets better, just different. You will go on. Micheal needs you to. We never want to lose those we love, but a child is THE worst loss. It makes me smile to know your beautiful girls are there with you and those adorable grand babies to make you smile. Their job is to keep you celebrating life, and to celebrate the time the Lord gave you with Michael. I don't have to tell you that sons are truly Momma's boys.
Love, love, and tons of hugs to all of you! Donna Jean
