my little brother is a firefighter in Maine and I always worry something is going to happen. I also tell myself if it does he will be a hero and in good hands with god. I am very sorry to hear of such a great loss, but at the same time this web site is a great thing for everyone to come visit and give a special thought and prayer for all of you that were effected by such a loss.. thank you for sharing such deep and important thoughts and prayers and may god always be with you and your loved ones!!!! sincerly marcy

Dear Mike, A second Thanksgiving has passed sine 9-11-01 and some of us gathered at Fred and Ruth's for the day. Your nieces and nephews are growing taller and Timmy the oldest has begun high school this year. Your nephew Michael, who was born on December 19, 2001, and was named to honor you, has a happy personality and laughs a great deal just as you did. It is difficult to enjoy any holiday because your presence is so terribly missed. We know that you would want us to live as we did before 9-11 but that is not possible because our lives changed forever when you were taken from us. I often think back on the 30 years you were with us and how I took it for granted that you would be with Mom and I throughout our lives. You were a beautiful person with the sunniest disposition that made us all laugh and love to be in your company. That and because we loved you dearly is why we miss you so much. God works in strange ways and He must have known that others needed you to assist them on that tragic day. We look forward to seeing you again Mike and until we do Happy Thanksgiving in Heaven. Love Dad

As you spend your second Thanksgiving in Heaven, I want to let you know, what I will be most Thankful for this year is the gift of you in my life. Though now I cannot hear your laughter, it is forever in my heart. The Lord must have known what a cheerful addition to the heavens you would be, and that is why he called you home. I pray that when we meet again, it will be your laughter that guides me home to the Lord.

To the Lynch Family, My condolences on the loss of Michael. Whilst I did not know him or you, my thoughts are with you. I believe that fire fighters are truly courageous individuals. Not too many people put their own lives on the line in order to rescue others, the fact that your son, brother, fiancee was one of these brave people is a testament to the kind of person he was. I salute him, his 342 brothers that also made the ultimate sacrifice on 9/11, and to his FDNY brothers and sisters that remain with us, who continue their excellent work. You are obviously and deservedly proud of Michael, as this website so poignantly portrays.

Michael, We miss you every minute of every day. I think about you so much as I drive to school everyday. It is some of the only alone time that I have. I know that you would be proud to know that I went back to college. Go figure, this time around I am pulling a 4.0 GPA. I always knew that I that I could do this. I just needed to believe in myself. You always believed in me. Just as my dear husband has believed in me. I wish that you could be on earth with us right now, so that I could hear you cheering me on. This victory is bittersweet for me. I speak with Steph as often as I can, trying to be the support that I know I can be for her as she tries to live on without you. She is missing you so badly Michael, though she tries to pretend for the rest of the world. She doesn't want them to worry about her. Continue to be there for her as you have been for me. I heard your message a few weeks ago, when I was conflicted about what I was doing was the right thing. I know my children need me, but I know too that I need to complete me. When I asked you if I was doing the right thing by spending so much time trying to expidite my future with the time I was spending with school, you gave me a sign. I saw it, I understood it and I will continue. Please Michael, stay as a constant in my life, help me to take this journey through nursing school, and guide me to be the support that I need to be to those who are hurting. Be there for me as I try to minister to those in our family who are still bearing so much pain. Help them to release there anger and pain. There is no better release than prayer and with that the understanding. We miss you, that can't be argued. However your presence in heaven gives me strenght to carry on with the gifts that God intended me to encompasses. It is because of you that I have been able to bear my cross and understand it's full meaning. God has blessed you, may He continue to bless me as He has for the last decade. I love you Michael, I honor you and I keep you close in my heart where I hope you will stay. Forever your little sister, Colleen

Dear the Lynch Family, As the year anniversity of September came a chruch across my grandparents house was getting ready to have a memorial for all of the innocent lives taken on September 11th. The chruch placed a cross for every single person taken on September 11th. On the crosses were the person's name, age, what they did and where they where on September 11th. At the end of the memorial teh chruch asked all of us to take a cross, so that not one was left behind. My grandmother found the cross of Michael Lynch. We r ealized that he was a firefighter. As we came home with our crosses we put Michael's net to my cousin's rose bush outside. My 7 year old cousin died in a fire almost 2 years ago.. we thought it was special that we put Michael's cross next to Casey's rose bush as a reminded of the firefighters that saved Casey's two baby brothers. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family. We all know too well how hard a loss is, but what we do know is that they are watching from up above. If you would like to contact us, we would be happy to hear form you and tell you about the memorial and the cross. We do have pictures too that we would be happy to send you.

Just a quick note to let you folks know that I have bookmarked your website after the "POF weekend", and periodically I go to the site and am reminded of how precious are each of our intertwined lives, and how fortunate I am to have been blessed w/yet another day! I will NEVER forget the sacrifices made on that fateful day in September, 2001. God Bless the Lynch Family, and Michael, I'll be glad to finally meet you someday!!

My sincere thanks to the entire Lynch family. I faced the 1 year anniversary with tremendous anxiety. As I sat in mass on 9/11 with your family I was so moved by your faith, your love for your family and your tremendous patriotisim. You are trully inspiring. Michael must be so very proud. I have never been prouder of my Throggs Neck community and my Irish Catholic roots. May God bless all of you.
