Michael Bell Di, Tom and Krista,
My thoughts and prayers are with you in this most difficult of times. My time with Mike was now some time ago but I had the privilege of seeing him grow to be a wonderful, thoughtful, caring and fun loving young man. He was able to mix in any company and seemed quite at ease for then someone so young. Di and Tom, I witnessed your love, nurturing, pride and never ending support for Mike. He was loved unconditionally and that provided a great rudder to steer the course of life. Mike obviously had a real spirit of adventure and love of nature and the outdoors. The photos I have seen in the often breathtaking scenery is a testament to this spirit of adventure. I love that Mike dared to experience things that many of us merely dream about doing. Krista I know Mike was a very considered thinker. I am so glad that he found you to be his soulmate, the one he called home. It is a testament to your relationship that he was just so happy. He was a very special young man who will be sadly missed.
My Deepest Sympathies and Love,
Michael Bell

Anne & Geoff Lilliss & family Our hearts have been breaking and filled with sorrow as we try to comprehend this tragic loss of a beautiful young man who has left us so early. When Tom said these last few months are the happiest he has seen Mike is a small comfort as will be the arrival of a precious baby who will be loved by so many. Our love, thoughts and prayers are with our dear friends Di and Tom, and to Krista, who we didn’t have the privilege of meeting, as you struggle to get through this difficult time.
Anne & Geoff Lilliss & family

Dear Di and Tom,
I haven’t seen you in a long time, but I remember a gorgeous baby who was blessed with the world’s most devoted and loving parents. I have only one child, and I simply cannot fathom your loss. I want you to know that your family have touched so many lives – including mine. So many hearts are reaching out to you at this time of indescribable loss. I have no doubt Mike turned into an amazing man because of his amazing parents.
With sympathy and love always,
Tanya Hopwood.
