LOVING MEMORY OF:
Michael
Dennis Carico
10/27/63
~ 11/27/02
Let's remember
the good ~ let's remember the fun
Let's remember
his laughter and great cheer
If we do this
as Michael would want,
it will certainly
stop the tears.
You played
many roles from the time of your birth,
These roles
you mastered quite well.
By the smile
on your face, the twinkle of your eye:
Your life
was easy to tell.
Role number
one ~ that of a son ~
began on the
day of your birth.
It grew as
years passed ~ you became a man at last,
But still
the greatest son on earth.
Always there
for your Mother and Dad,
No matter
whether daytime or night.
"Hey Dad,
that car sounds sick ~
let me help
you fix it up just right."
"Oh Mom, come
sit for a spell,
let me give
you a hug real tight."
We still hear
these words though you are now out of sight.
Role number
two ~ that of a brother
was developed
along the way.
The love you
shared with Pam, Shannon and Tim,
seemed to
grow more each day.
The special
times you shared with them each of them
will always
be in their hearts.
Though you
are gone your memory lives on;
You are with
them when each day starts.
Role number
three ~ that of a husband ~
began on your
wedding day.
Lovely Angie,
watching your smiling face,
gave her vows
to love and obey.
You began
you new role as husband to wife
Never forgetting
roles of brother and son.
But the role
of husband was to lead you to
The next and
most important one.
Role number
four ~ father of three
And a wonderful
father you turned out to be.
You gave each
child their own special time
To enjoy the
things they liked best.
Just being
a good father came easy to you
And boy did
you pass the test.
As you packed
up to go camping and fish,
It sure put
a smile on Mikey's face!
Which only
grew as you told him, "Pam's coming
I know she's
going to love this place!"
Graceful Michele,
who modeled so well,
Always had
proud papa in the crowd
At any event
in which she appeared,
You would
be there applauding so loud!
Sweet Heather,
loved to play games,
And Dad was
glad to play too.
You taught
her how to count money
By giving
her the change you had on you.
Role number
five ~ that of a friend ~
is really
out of context.
That is something
you did throughout your life
and with the
others should be mixed.
You and Angie
had friends you spent time with,
oh how very
true.
They always
knew if they were in need,
they could
always count on you.
You had a big
heart, loving and kind.
Blue eyes
that sparkled so bright.
A gorgeous
smile that lit up your face,
And made the
dark seem light.
You spent a
lot of time in that garage of yours
It seemed
to be your second home.
Your music
was enjoyed much there
As each time
to visit we would come.
You always
kept an open door ~
to greet everyone,
Never did
we hesitate to visit when we were free
Or our work
day was done.
We are so thankful
for the time we had
and treasure
our memories.
Everyday you
will be with us for our hearts
have locked
you within.
You are our
treasure here on earth.
Beloved Son,
Brother, Husband, Father, Friend.

Miss and love
you so much
I dropped
a tear in the ocean
And when they
find it
Is when I
will stop loving you
Without you
everything is lost to the wind.
