We are all eternal beings.These bodies are used but for only one lifetime, but our soul… our souls are forever.
When Jill and Ken went before God with their planned “Blueprints” for these lives, God explained that Michael had other responsibilities with God, and would need to “go home” after only a short 17 years.
After much thought, Jill and Ken said they understood, and this would be fine. They would much prefer to share 17 years of these lives with Mike, than none at all.
God explained that there would be much pain and sorrow when Mike went home so early. Regardless of how God needed to bring Michael home, there would be pain and sorrow so deep that he was not sure they could recover from it and continue on with the rest of their lives.
From their greater perspective with God, Jill and Ken understood that out of great suffering comes the opportunity for great growth, and the opportunity to know and love God, and themselves, and life, more fully.
“Can I help?” Asked Marie.
“Yes.” Answered God. “You will remain as Jill and Ken’s angel on earth, giving them reason to live and purpose for going on, when Mike needs to return home. Marie, there will be very, very deep pain and sorrow for you during this time as well. There may be some serious physical pain for you as well. Are you sure you will have the strength to recover and continue on to live a full and productive life after I bring Mike home?”
“Yes, God.” Marie answered. “I can recover. And we will all have you God, to help us recover.”
Michael spoke. “God, is it possible for you to help me remain a part of Mom and Dad and Marie’s lives after I leave the physical body and come Home?”
“Of course.” God said. “That will be important. All that will be required is that your Dad, Mom or Marie simply think of you, and I will bring you to them. You will visit them in their thoughts, you will be able to speak to them whenever they remember their Love for you, and whenever they remember your Love for them. And you will visit them in their dreams. You will be summoned immediately, whenever they choose.”
“Ken, Jill and Marie… you will not have much time together while Mike is in his physical body, 17 years is not very long. I want you all to spend as much of that time together in joy and well-being as possible, so I will be bringing Mike home suddenly. Do not despair about this, and do not give any thought to how I decide to bring Michael home. Know that all that are involved on Earth will be acting as my angels, assisting me. And know that Michael will never be alone. Not for one split second, Michael will never be alone. He will go directly from your loving care to mine. He will not suffer physically, and he will not be alone. I will personally choose the team of angels that will bring Michael home to me, they will be familiar to him, they will be filled with Love for him, and they will guide him Home in safety and with Love.”
“Jill, Ken and Marie, it will be important for you all to remember to connect only with Michael’s life. Remember Michael with Love, and remember to Love Michael. That is how you will be able to go on. Do not waste time thinking about how he left his body. There is nothing to be gained from these types of thoughts. Do not waste time thinking about Michael’s body after he has left it. His body will have served him well on earth. Once Michael comes home it will be important to think only about his life, his heart and his Love, after all, this is the essence of Michael.”
“Of course, I will be here to help you through this. But I will need much help also. That is where your loving families and many wonderful friends will come in. They will Love you, and in loving you they will remind you to Love. At times of great sorrow it can be difficult to find enough loving thoughts to connect with those that are no longer in physical bodies. Remember, it is through Love that we are One. It will be important to allow the Love of your family in during this time.”
“Jill, Ken and Marie, I will be sending Gifts of Love to you during this troubling time through your family and through your friends. They will remind you of My Love. They will remind you of Michael’s Love. Their very presence will remind you to hold only Love in your hearts and only Love in your thoughts. Your Loving thoughts will bring you closer to Me, and closer to Michael.”

To all who love my cousin Jill, my friend Ken, Marie, Bret, Justin, and their families, and to all who love Mike. There is great healing through Love and Compassion. Your willingness to be present with your sorrow and grief while supporting and loving those that remain is a great Gift of Love.
We all have great power in our thoughts. In your grief, do not forget to reach for thoughts that feel better. Sometimes the best thought we can reach for still feels unbelievably painful. That is ok. This will not last forever, but do not forget to continue to reach, always reach, for thoughts that feel better.
When you cannot hear or feel God or your angels, let go of all thoughts that are bringing you fear, pain, worry or sorrow. Reach for more loving thoughts, more loving thoughts of yourself, more loving thoughts of God, or more loving, joyful thoughts of Michael, who is once again a non-physical angel. Reach for any Loving thoughts that bring you closer to joy. Just as there is no guilt or shame in moving through grief and deep sorrow, there is neither guilt nor shame in reaching for loving joyful thoughts at this time. Neither God, nor Mike want you to feel unhappy or sad. Grieve as much as you need to, then reach for loving thoughts of Michael that bring you joy to remember. Cry when you must, then when you’re able, put the sadness, fear or grief aside, and think of a joyful, wonderful memory of Mike, Jill, Ken, Marie, Bret or Justin, and feel better. If only for a moment, feel better, and while you’re feeling better send that Loving Joyful energy to them. There is great healing power in that Loving, Joyful memory, and right now, for those that are still struggling through so much, it is one of the greatest Gifts of Love that can be given.
With love, Jill’s cousin Scott

MICHAEL WILLIAM UCCI (OBITUARY)
On January 27, 2007, Michael William Ucci, age 17, died at the scene of an automobile accident in front of West High in Tracy, California. At the time of his death, he was a junior at West High and lived with his parents, Jill and Ken Ucci, and sister, Marie Ucci, in Tracy. Marie was seriously injured in the same accident and remains hospitalized.
Michael was born in Mountain View, California and during his lifetime resided in Morgan Hill and Tracy. He had attended Poet-Christian and Wanda Hirsch Elementary Schools, Williams Middle School and was a junior at Merrill F. West High School.
He was a bright young man with a promising future, held strong family values, had an exceptionally close relationship with his sister Marie, was athletic, a leader and loved by many. The outpouring community generosity and expression of what Michael meant to so many has been overwhelming and heartwarming to his family.
When he was a sophomore, Michael traveled to Holland with People to People International, where he played basketball on the USA team. Because of his academic and leadership skills, he was recently invited to be an ambassador to a National Leadership Conference in Washington DC to observe our federal government in action. He would have been most proud of this achievement and would have loved the journey. He was preparing for the SAT and very much looking forward to college and all the future might hold.
He played basketball through CYO and in high school. He was a member of FBLA, Future Business Leaders of America, and loved working out at the gym and going to Starbuck’s with his friends. He and Marie were more than siblings; they were best friends and constant companions. The affect he had on others is most evident through the many, many expressions on the internet – his SMILE was constant and contagious. He was a good friend to many. His father noted he was a “pied piper” of sorts – a happy individual who loved listening to and walking with others and led many. His mother believes he has a true gift in their lives.
Michael had a large family that was most important to him. From his grandparents to the youngest cousins, he embraced them all and loved the family traditions. One of his favorite traditions was vacationing every summer with his cousins at Sveadal. In addition to his parents, Jill and Ken Ucci and his sister, Marie, he is survived by his grandmother, Donna Manfre’ of Watsonville, numerous aunts and uncles and many, many cousins – to whom he was very close. Predeceased grandparents include Sebastian and Mary Ucci who were from San Jose and Bill Manfre’ of Watsonville. His life will be celebrated in Tracy and he will lay in rest in Watsonville.
