Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Saturday August 30, 2003

In Loving Memory of Michael Montoya December 3, 1966 - August 30, 2001I will always be a part of your lifeI have now moved on, but will never be gone. Please release me since it is time for me to be free as the movement of the clouds, the brightness of the stars, and the gentle touch of a summer breeze. I have so many things to experience and so many adventures to begin.Free yourselves for you need not worry about me. I no longer feel any pain or sorrow. I am finally truly free, so when you shed a tear just remember the wonderful moments and the many years. Let these moments be treasures we will always share. Learn to cherish them for they will always be there. There are many good experiences in life so let your wonderful memories ease your late nights. There won't be a moment that goes by that the love we shared is not inside.Be good to those who love you for they are very rare. May my family come together so they can truly share. Live your life to its fullest and love in every way. Enjoy the good times together you have during your stay. Each moment goes by fast, so don't let time just pass.I thank you all for the love that you have shown, but I must start my journey alone. When you grieve, If you must, realize that grief will be a bond of trust. Enjoy what life has to offer for it will be a precious gift to me. Remove all sorrows for we will meet again, look for my presence in the warmth within. You will see my helping hand as I guide you in, and it will be your journey that shall begin.By Bailee Bauman, your friend.Your loving family, dad, step-mom, mom, John, Jeanette, and Tammy
