Good morning my son / Teresa Sterling (Step Mom ) Good morning my son, I am sitting here drinking my coffee remembering the mornings that you would call and we would talk. Oh, how I miss those. I miss the talks and your voice. The girls are growing up so fast. Some day soon I will start on the quilts that I will make out of your cloths. There are so many to make, your Mom, Kelli, Dad, Aundrianna, Madisyn, Heather, Kayla, just so many and such a hard task. Honey, we miss you so much. I know you felt that you had no choice in the decision that you made that horrible night. How I wish that you could have called we would have done something you knew that though. I have a message saved on my cell phone from where you called dad looking for my landline number when I was in FL. I listen to it all of the time especially when I am really missing you. Well honey I need to go I have so much to do today and I am trying to stay on track. I love you, Teres
Happy 27th Babe / Teres Sterling (Step Mom ) Wow Babe you would be 27 today. I have racked my brain trying to think of something special you would have wanted to do and all I can come up with is going to the mountains. Unfortunately right now we are waiting on Dad's phantom fire check from Cal Fire well you would know them as CDF that is a long story. Dad went out for 10 days in Oct and we still haven't gotten paid. But when we do we will pay some bills get me new tires and then go to the mountains. Gee, honey it just seems so wrong that I can't call you and have our morning coffee together. I really miss hearing your voice and knowing that if you didn't like what I was thinking you would set me straight.. or set me on a different line of thinking
Honey, I've thought about this for the last fifteen months. And even though you will never see it I just feel I need to write it. Tiffany wanted the divorce because she was in love with Bill. She knew you had the court date and nothing had been done in your defense. Yea, you and Mom, & Kelli had come up with a plan so that you could run. But I know down deep you knew that was wrong, you also knew that you couldn't handle another man being with Tiffany, raising your girls and living your life. You had been their primary care giver for over a year minus the couple of weeks or months ya'll were on the outs in Jan-Feb and then a couple of weeks in Aug. I have no doubt in my mind that the two of you loved each other. However I don't think that she was in love with you. I really think after reading all of the reports and the text messages I think after she left for work it all just crashed down on you and you felt you had no way out. You knew if you went to court that you were probably going to have your probation revoked that would have been 5 yrs right there then what ever WA would have given you. And I know from past accts you would have been painted as this awful father. So you couldn't handle it I can understand those feelings because of this depression I have been in for the last 6 yrs. There are days I want to beat the world for you leaving us. Then there are days that I know it would have been so hard on you in jail and her moving on with her life and acting like you never exsited. The hardest thing is watching the girls grow up without you here. Anna will hear one of your songs on the radio and then cry for you.
She is always telling me that she is Daddy's princess. She loves and misses her daddy a lot. Since I have formed a friendship with her Heather has turned against me. It is okay for her to live off of Tiffany but it isn't okay for me to do the best for the girls. I realize now the head games that go on up there.
Well honey I love you, so very much, and Dad loves and misses you too.
Always loving you Mike,
Teres

Suicide is not chosen.... It happens when pain exceeds resources for coping with pain.
Thinking of you tonight / Tana Boyer (Friend) hey mike just wanted to let you know im really thinking of you tonight. My aunt just passed away and im really thinking of all the people who left this world. Also with tomorrow being your baby girls birthday. I just wanted to tell you how much you are missed.
Christmas/ Teres Sterling (Step mom ) Dear Son, It is hard to believe that this is the 2nd Christmas with out you. Christmas morning was hard on Dad and I we talked about you, how much we miss you and wish that you were here with us. We know that you are asleep and not hurting anymore. Kelli came home for Christmas. We thought that she was going to come by yesterday but she never made it. She and Dad are going skiing tomorrow. Gee, it would of been great if you, Kelli, Dane and Dad could of gone together sometime. Oh, honey I know that you are asleep but it is times like this that I really wish that you were watching over us, Dad has so much bottled up that it scares me. He is hurting so bad. Well honey I wanted you to know we were thinking of you. We love you Mike, Dad & Teres
MISS YOU / Greg Gruening (friend) Mike was a good friend who is missed but never will be forgot. I was friends with him for many of years. I was there for the ups and the downs and mike always came out with a smile. I just wish i could call and tell you how things are going but you are watching over and you see all. Just want to say i miss you bro.
Hello/ Teresa Sterling (Step mother )
Good morning Son, I miss you so very much. You are always on my mind. I talk with Anna as much as I can. She misses her daddy so much. When I talked with her on Monday she told me "Grandma T I miss daddy. He is in heaven looking down on me. He watches everything I do. I wish I could see daddy Grandma. I am daddy's little princess." Oh honey you are missed so much by everyone. Your Mom got married about 2 months ago she married Henry. She is happy and she deserves that. She visted me last week and I gave her your nutcrackers. She was happy we both cried. After Christmas is over we are going to start the quilts, we are going to use your clothes. We will make a quilt and a pillow for Anna, then either small quilts or pillows for your mom, sister, dad, stepbrother, Maddy, and if we have enough we will do one for grandparents. Kelly is doing good and will be here for Christmas. Dad is going to take her skiing it would have been great if you were here to go. But they will do their best to have a great time. Honey we miss you, we know that you are not in pain any more. I know if you were here you would be hurting so much with everything that has gone on since you left us. I have to believe that this is why God didn't stop you that night. I still don't understand why you didn't leave us a note or even try to call us. I have read the text messages you wrote to Tiffany and I can't figure out if you were hoping she would stop you or not. All I know is that so many people miss you and wish that you would have chosen a didn't decision. I misss your calls, your voice, your hugs, oh honey it is so hard with out you, as I write this the tears are just falling. I know in my heart that you are not in pain and that you don't want us crying for you, but it is so hard.
We have a date when Jesus comes to take us home the whole family will be at the tree of life and you will be there waiting for us. That is the only thought that gets me through the day.
Well honey I have finished my coffee and need to get busy, I love you.
Love always and forever,
Teres
My condolences to the Sterling Family / Siobhan Murtagh (friend) I am so sorry for your family. I went to school with Michael. He was so sweet and always had a smile. He asked me to be his friend on myspace and I was so suprised to hear from him and see the pictures of his beautiful family!

Well i will go for now keep watching over me and kacee and remember we WILL meet agian...Love you ALOT, Amy Castles Close
