I can't even imagine the hurt and sadness you must be going through. You are in my prayers.[COLOR=000080]Oh, you are all such dear dear friends![/COLOR] [COLOR=000080]I can hardly bear this. Your prayers and thoughts are comforting. I want to scream when I see that the world is continueing on as per normal. MY world has stopped! How can others continue on? My pain is so deep, I feel so ill.[/COLOR] [COLOR=000080]I have a hoodie Michael wore.... nearly every day. I can smell him. Awww, the sweet smell of my son. It is a comfort. I know it will not last long. For now, I can smell him. I can close my eyes and think he is near, too.[/COLOR] [COLOR=000080]Funeral services are now set. This funeral is expected to be one of the largest ever in our home town. They felt the high school is the best place for it, so there will be ample seating. When I feel up to it, I would like to tell you about my son. Some day. Some time. Do note - he was a wonderful man, loved by many. SOOOOO many people he touched.[/COLOR] [COLOR=000080]Funeral for Michael D. Bonham, Jr.[/COLOR] [COLOR=000080]Monday, 10 AM at the Missouri Valley High School.
