Michael Ballard

Michael Ballard, age 34, of St. Paul, Minnesota entered his eternal rest on December 5, 2024.

"When we lost you, grief arrived with a twin. One asked that we mourn who you were. The other, that I mourn who you could have been. It's the latter which hurts the most. The parts of your story left untold. Maybe that's why our hearts feels torn in two most days. Though we are grateful for every memory, half of us is buried with you. Gone but not forgotten, What's left of me looks for signs. A message of reminder that your love is still alive. Life itself seems a bit overcast now. Maybe it's silly, but every so often the sun breaks through the clouds, and I say to myself  There you are"
