We just wanted to let you know that you are in our thoughts & prayers - especially remembering what happened 2 years ago today...
It will NEVER be forgotten. Michael is now one of the angels looking over us.
We all have to remember the saying that goes something like this: "Some of us are here for living and some of us live for dying". What happened on 9/11/01 proved that statement with the heroes that put themselves in harms way. And it is still going on today, in the fight against terrorism.
God bless Michael & all of those lost in 9/11 & God bless those today trying to stop what started 2 years ago so that it never happens again.
We think of your family often and hope & pray for peace in the world.
God bless. Dave & Janice

Dear Lynch Family & Friends: It is with a heavy and sad heart that we remember the pain and suffering of this historical day. Seeing families in pain and images of the destruction of that day again is almost too much to bear. I just saw Mr. Lynch on CNN speaking about the site and realize what courage he and all of the loved ones of all the families in NYC, PA and Washington have had in facing this tragedy head on. I am glad our country is fighting terrorism. I hope some of the images our citizens view today will remind them that this fight is real and will last a long time. We must remember in order that Michael and all of the lost loved ones of that day will not have died in vain. God bless, Rose & Sean Merrigan & Tom (Ruthie's sister)

To my dear little brother,
Today marks the second anniversary of the horrible day that you were taken from us. The pain of losing you is still so raw and brings me to tears without hesitation. I try my best to just think about you, the laughs we had and not the cruel and evil way you died.
What brings me peace is your bravery...at a time of great danger and horror you stood tall. Someday I hope we find the family of the woman you were holding and helping in your last moments. We all want so much to tell her family that she was not alone, that she was with you and that you were trying to save her.
Michael, there has been so much that I have been blessed with in my life...God has been good to me, to Deborah and our four children. He has blessed me with success in all aspects of my life...but I always keep in my mind that you were and are the most successful of all of our family. In one morning, you accomplished more with your heart than any of us could accomplish in a lifetime...you gave your life...the greatest gift one could give...for someone else.
Your love, laughter and bravery are the goal that we all pray that we can reach in our lives...so watch over us...all of us (that is a lot of people!) and I look forward to the day that with God's love...He will bring us together again.
Happy 2nd Anniversary in Heaven little brother...I cry today for our loss yet I celebrate for you the wonderful reward of Heaven...the peace that I am sure you have...the joy that you know Heaven has brought you and I am sure how silly you think we all are for shedding so many tears.
I miss you with all my heart...see...their go the tears again.
I love you,
Kevin

My dear big brother--remembering you on this two year anniversary. You continue to inspire us all to live life to the fullest as you had done in your short 30 years on this earth. I can't believe that tomorrow I will be 30, the same age that you were when you went to be with our Lord. I feel as though I have only just begun to live and yet at this age you died. Though we will never understand why so many innocent people had to leave this earth 2 years ago we have learned to enjoy every minute that you have while here and to count every blessing you are given. One month and one day ago I was given the blessing of another child and it has made me feel so complete. Yesterday our cousin Eileen was also given that blessing--a boy--named Paul Michael. I know that you met both Eileens baby and my son Aidan Michael before they came to be with us on earth and I know that they were touched by you as will every child born to us in the future. I pray that they live wonderful lives like you did and that you continue to bless us all and watch over us. Until we meet again!
Love your sister--Colleen

Dear Lynch Family,I am just writing to let you to know that Richie has not forgotten about you and your dear son Michael, who now watches over all of us from the hands of God! His FDNY picture is displayed in my home, on my police locker and in my car and his memory will always be in my heart!
Dear God,Grant us the serenity to accept the things that we cannot change,the courage to change the things we can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

As the second anniversary of 911 is approaching, I would just like to let the Lynch family and Stephanie know that they are always in my thoughts and prayers, and that I will be praying with you at the memorial mass this Thursday at Saint Frances. May God Bless you all.

While you are all at Ground Zero on 9/11/03 saying and hearing the
names of those who perished as a result of their heroic efforts
on 9/11, we will be here in Buffalo, NY praying for Michael,
the Lynch family and all who lost their loved ones on that day.
May God bless all of you.
With love from Buffalo,

To the Lynch family...Almost 2 years have passed since 9/11/01 and the loss of your beloved son, brother, uncle, cousin, and nephew, still feels as fresh today as it did two years ago. I don't get to see you or talk to you all very much, but I think of you often and as the anniversary nears, it's harder to concentrate. Everytime the news starts hitting the 9/11 stories and the date gets closer, it's just so very hard.
I know this might sound strange, but I want you to know how Michael's death has touched me and how it has made a difference in how I live my life. I made a decision after being laid off for the third time since 9/11, to go back to college full time in May. I have attended all summer long and today was my last official day and end to a full semester at Montclair State University. I start the Fall next Wednesday and I'm plugging along.
When I began the journey in May, I wasn't 100% sure what I wanted to do with my education, I was afraid if I had made the right choice, and I didn't know if I could really do it. Michael keeps me going, everyday. I think about how important it is to make a difference in the community, to step up to the plate and contribute, to stop worrying about small things, focus on the importance of life and love, live your dream, and never let anyone tell you that you can't do something. Everytime I want to feel sorry for myself or complain about anything, I think of Michael. I think of a man who wanted nothing but to be a firefighter and he sacrificed his life so others could live. The world is a better place for having had him in it.
I don't know if you have any idea how much Michael has impacted lives of people who didn't know him long or well, and those that didn't know him at all...I just wanted you to know how much he is thought of, as well as you all. One of these days, I will make a difference in my community and give back to humanity. I hope I can be even a fraction of what Michael was to his, and I hope you all know how much I think of you.
Last, Jason and Colleen were married 10 years ago yesterday. The newest addition, and my new nephew, Aidan Michael Parigen has joined us and I simply want to say...I am so happy my brother married such a wonderful woman. She is the best sister-in-law I could have ever asked to have and I thank God for what she has meant to our family, every day. Sending my best, a warm heart, and love, Tammy

Mike, as I sit here at work listening to the radio - the one song that I would religously request that you play came on and it made me think of you. It's weird not seeing your smiling face whenever I go to the Clipper and how could I forget the jokes you always had for me and my mom! The last time I went to see you at the cemetary I noticed my Fire Dept Beanie Baby was VERY dirty! What are you doing over there - kicking dirt on it on purpose?!
:) Miss you!
