    Mike I miss you more and more everyday. I love you and I always will. I can’t help but wonder if I was able to come that Saturday that maybe this wouldn’t have happened. All you wanted was me. And I couldn’t make it that day. The irony that it officially happened on my dads bday, which is a day I grieve on every year since he has passed, floors me. I’m sure I will continue to do so even more now bc of you. I know you loved me and that it was a genuine deep love. Your family knew of me and we were supposed to meet all of them. Your dad has talked w me a few times and he has told me how much you loved me and that you were ready to be straight settle down and get married. You talked several times about moving closer to me, and I wish you had. And don’t think I didn’t realize what you were doing that night at dinner while you were holding both of my hands and looking at my rings and trying the one on that fit my left ring finger. You thought you were slick didn’t you lol. my answer would have been yes by the way . That brings me happy tears. Hopefully you got to meet my parents and other family members up there. I know you are in heaven. I know you will always be watching over me. I hope that you RIP my love, and you deserve to. You had to battle the addiction for so long and I was hoping that your love for me would be strong enough to help you defeat it once and for all. You have one of the biggest hearts of anyone that I know. You loved the lord. We would have all kinds of theological discussions. I miss you so much it hurts so bad. We would talk about things we wanted to do and places we wanted to see. You wanted to be able to get your passport so that you could go w me anywhere I had to go. You brought so much love and joy to my life. You never realized how much love and joy and happiness you brought people. I hope I was able to bring just as much if not more into your life. I will forever love you and we will be together again one day.

    Our family’s love goes out to you all. A young man that I remember as a fun loving kid, joking with his grandma. Our young people are being taken too soon and leave us with our memories. Keep his sweet memories and I pray that those memories will comfort you all. Love and prayers, from our family to yours.

    Our deepest condolences to all the loved ones of Michael Crum. Especially his Mother, Father and Grandmother (my Aunt Sarah) and other two brothers and his Uncle Terry Short. I know Michael had problems, but his life had changed drastically as he went through rehab, gotten clean, and we are so sorry he relapsed, and pray his relapse and death changes the life of other current addicts and friends. Drugs are not the answer, they are the problem! I am proud he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Saviour. I know Michael loved the mountains and being with his family and loved ones. We will see him again, as long as you are a true Christian and follow God's word. Rest in peace, Michael. We love you!

    Mike, the pain of losing you is unbearable. I’m going to miss your phone calls just to check on me and make sure I was ok. You will ALWAYS have a place in my heart. You will NEVER be forgotten. I hope you know just how much I loved you. Until we meet again though you and my daddy take care of each of other. Love always, Brandy
