Michael You are in our thoughts today-as you are everyday-but with special wishes for your birthday. I cannot really imagine what it is like to celebrate in heaven but when I hear the Christmas Canon and think of you-I imagine that it is a glorious celebration. We love and miss you.

Mary - WOW - you brought me to my knees with your post. Thank-you so much. It was truly an amazing event and I am so glad someone met you and gave you a hug. I have some wonderful pictures of the event if your family would like to see them. Please be assured Michael's name and legacy will always remain alive. Deepest Regard - Jarett Metheny

I am Michael's cousin mary - I was in Denver Colorado on 9/11 and trying to celebrate the gift of life as Michael did. I missed my family in NY and it was odd to have to be away from home for the anniversary. Unexpectedly, at the end of the hike as we descended into the parking lot I saw a firetruck or two and the instantly recognizable Navy Blue FDNY shirts. My companions and I had stumbled upon the end of the stair climb fundraiser. I was brought to tears when I saw the wonderful firefighters who continue to honor the sacrifices made by their brothers and sisters on that day. They hugged me and told me that someone just ran the race in Michael's name and honor and with his picture. I got shivers and hoped desperately to meet you and to connect you with our family and the MLMF. Thank you so much for reaching out, Mary

Greetings - On September 11, 2009, I had the honor to participate in a 9/11 memorial stair climb at the Qwest Building in downtown Denver, Colorado. 343 firefighters climb 110 flights of stairs in bunker gear to honor our brothers that gave their lives. As we began the climb, we were each given a name, company, and picture of an FDNY firefighter. I was blessed and honored to carry Michael Lynch's memory that day. I came home that weekend and hugged my wife and three kids and began reading and sharing Michael's story. I will continue to keep his picture on my helmet and his spirit in my heart. I look forward to making regular donations to his foundation and will carry on his legacy to the best of my abilities. I will always remember the saying on his headstone "All of us are asked to live for others, some of us are asked to die for others". I cannot imagine the pain and suffering his friends and family have endured and I wish there was something more I could say or do to honor him. During the climb, I thought of him and his family. I hope it's OK that I carry him with me through my career and make him part of my company on Ladder 2 in Midwest City, Oklahoma.

Today, I think of you and smile. No more sadness. Mike - it was a pleasure knowing you and I am proud to know that you were one of the brave people who gave their lives to help the lives of other people. You made us laugh constantly and you make us eternally proud.

Dear Michael, I cannot believe another year has passed us by, another year spent without you here with us. You are always with us in spirit and I know in my heart that you have been with me and helped me through the tough times and rejoiced with me through the good times. I know you met my Aidan when he was in heaven before he came to us and it is obvious he took a part of your spirit down to us, besides looking so much like you, he has a lot of your sense of humor too. I also know that each year does not make it easier to understand, nor make the hurt less. The loss of brother is a profound loss, one I wish upon no one. I miss your smile, I miss your wit, I miss you with all my heart. I love you. Your sister, Colleen
