“My best friend’s foster son….a loving happy guy in spite of all his medical problems….looking forward to time at the beach next week, his first real vacation but the Lord had other plans to call him home…Rest In Peace Michael you were so loved.”
“Mike, was a part of our family…such a good guy…he use to help my daddy from beginning to end of all 4th of july parties…he even helped at my wedding…always smiling and lots of hugs…he will be missed greatly…”
“There is just no way to think about Michael without a smile. So many happy memories, all the trips to the “Thunderbird” playing in the pool, playing cards & just having fun. You just had to smile listening to Mike & Wilson riding in the truck singing “My Darling Clementine & She will be riding six white horses”. Listening to Mike& Wilson comparing thier diets, Mike is the only I knew who could loose 25lbs in one night. He was always there helping with anything we were doing like prepareing big dinners & cleaning up afterwards. Loved crabing off the peir in St. Inigoes, & Christmas Holidays were just the best. He always had a smile & just fun to be with, you could go on & on. Everyone who knew him, loved him. He will be greatly missed.”
“I will never forget you Mike. From the very first moment I met you I felt a very special bond. We connected instantly because you made me feel so comfortable. You loved to talk about Jesus, your family, visiting the beach, horses and I could tell you loved people so much. You also loved it when my husband played amazing grace just for you. I will hold a very special place in my heart for you always. Our condolences go out to the family with prayerfulness.”
