Terry "Michael" Houston

My condolences, as feelings of pain and bitterness become unbearable. It is my desire to convey a comforting thought based on the Holy Scriptures

          

  John 5:28 "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out."

 

 

This passage speaks of the resurrection of our loved ones. It is not God's plan to see us suffer and die, so He extends the following invitation to us: "Come near to God and He will draw near to you" (James 4:8)

 

Please go to the following link to obtain more information regarding the Hope expressed in this passage and again we are sorry for your loss.

Worldwide Candle Lighting , The Second Sunday of December

The Compassionate Friends Worldwide Candle Lighting unites family and friends around the globe in lighting candles for one hour to honor the memories of the sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, and grandchildren who left too soon. As candles are lit at 7:00 p.m. local time, hundreds of thousands of persons commemorate and honor the memory of all children gone too soon.

"Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself. They come through you, but not from you. And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. You may house their bodies, but not souls. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. The Archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far. Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness; for even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable." - Kahlil Gibran

To the family of Michael,

I came upon your son's site and I read it...what a sad story...the worse fear most parents have...DRUGS!!!!

It is so sad that someone is stupid enough to hand out pills that he stole. I'm sure Michael thought it was safe and just wanted to experiment. It's too bad this child didn't take the pill himself...you got to wonder why he'd want someone else to take it...Perhaps he lives with lots of guilt today, but he can't expect sympathy as he was old enough to know right from wrong. He didn't just make a mistake, he took a precious life off this earth...this is a permanent! He has endured lots of suffering, pain and loneliness on a family...I'm sorry to ramble but I hate drugs and I hate the way people try and push them onto others.

One day you'll be with your precious Michael again...and it will be for enternity...never will you have to say good bye again.

I hope Michael has meet my Angie, because she was a fun, loving girl and she sure would make sure he's happy with all the other Angel Friends they have.

My deepst sympathy...no matter how many years go by...the pain is always there.

Hugs
Donna Mom to Angie Robert

The gift of Easter is Hope !

Michael tomorrow is your 8th Angelversary and I miss you more than ever. I just can't grasp that I have not seen you in so long. I love you so much. I know you are living a wonderful dream in Heaven but I am very selfish and I want you to come home and be with me and dad and Shannon and the boys. You would be very proud of Jared and Aidan. I have seen a lot of beautiful butterflies this year and I still think you send them me from Heaven to let me know you are ok. I hold such precious memories of all of us going on vacation, wrestling parties at the house with all of your friends, all of your wonderful baseball games and just being a complete family. I love you more than life itself and I know we will be together again very soon.

 

I love you Michael.. Mama   

I came across a old picture micheal lindsay had posted and seen the picture of Michael under it it said rest in peace.. i kept looking at him and thought i remember him when we where in school elementry and up why does it say this on his picture... so I stumbled across this page looking for him. I am so sorry for the loss. I wish i had of known b 4 hand i would have paid my respects sooner. He was a wonderful person when i knew him and i am sure still is as he watches over you all. May God stand beside him as they watch over you. Many Prayers to you and your family.. May he be remembered as the angel he has become.

         

Dear Houston family, I came across this beautiful memorial by accident typing in classmates of my past. It hurts to see this because I remember him sitting right next to me at Konnoak. You all are in my prayers and thoughts. God Bless.

Michael

 

Only a few more days before your 7th Angelversary and I miss you more than ever. I just don't know what to say or think. It's still like a nightmare that will never end. I look at your pictures everyday and just try to remember what fun we used to have. Remember all of those beach vacations. That was your favorite place and we had so much fun together, you, me dad and Shannon. Today is my birthday and I am doing my best to get through the day without you here with me. I guess you are making new friends and playing a lot of baseball in Heaven. I keep seeing these beautiful white butterflies in my flower garden and your dad got me a bench to set under your special tree so I can look at them and talk to you. Just you and me. Michael I love you more than life itself and I promise that we will be together again one day and how special that will be.

 

I LOVE YOU MY ANGEL

MOM 

My dearest son Michael,

 

Your 6th Angelversary will be here on October 2, 2008 and it is still hard to believe you are gone. Sometimes it seems like it has been forever and other times it seems like only yesterday that I could hug you, talk to you, go to your baseball games, smell you, look at you, touch your face and laugh with you. I miss you more and more every day. I know you are a very special Angel and you take care of all of the new Angels in Heaven. I love you with all of my heart and soul, now and FORVER and I know soon we will be together once again. You gave such meaning and importance to everyone who knew you and you had a special smile for each and every person you knew, young or old. I hope your Angelversary is special for you and I am sending you a big hug and kiss. Please send one back to me on the wings of an Angel. I LOVE YOU MICHAEL.......MOM 

Lisa,

 

I was so very touched by your words written on your son's memorial site.  He was such a handsome young man, gone far too soon.  I will pray that each day will become easier to deal with and the pain, though Michael will never be forgotton, will somehow make sense for you one day. We lost our 18 year old son in a car accident.  He died four days after he was ejected from his car following a head on collision. (July 16th, 2005)  Each day, we all miss him more, so please know that I do understand and care.  Please visit Andrew at http://andrew-collins.last-memories.com

 

Be Blessed,

Debi Collins

 

 

 

To the Family of Michael,
