Our thoughts and prayers are with Cassandra and Georgia at this difficult time. Mike was an extraordinary young man who was always concerned more with his mother than himself. He spent alot of time at my house in the past and was always respectful and polite. I am having a hard time holding back the tears as I write this. I cannot and hope to never feel the pain that Cassandra is going thru. Mike was exceptional, smart and wise beyond his years. He often read the tarot cards for me and would never take any money because I am single mom like his mom. I often treated him to Dunkin Donuts or McDonalds so I could repay him somehow. He was a great friend to Matt and so very kind to Amy. He will be missed more than I can say.

Mike, you were an amazing person. Honestly, never knew anyone in the world like you. You were one of those people who the world needed more of, one of those people the world could not replace. I know for a fact I will never meet anyone in the world like you ever again. You are one of the wisest people I know, especially for your age. I remeber always being inspired by your wisdom and knowledge. I know now that you are at peace, and that is what you have always represented. You were a peaceful person, it seemed as if you knew the answers to all the evils in the world. Almost like you were touched by something no one else could explain, like you yourself were an angel put on this Earth to better other peoples lives. Mike, you have touched the hearts of countless people and I will miss you dearly. No one will ever forget the peace you brought into this world. Bless You.

We will all miss Mikey very much, but he will always be in our thoughts and hearts. Although his life was cut short by a tragic illness, he accomplished more than many do in much longer times. He chose his own path and dedicated himself to it. He was a light and an inspiration to everyone who knew him. Our hearts go out to his family who supported him in every way on his chosen path. He also shared with us his great love of animals, and anubis, his little rabbit, will be loved by us.

Mike,
you were one of the most thoughtful people i have ever met, you made such an impact on every person you met, you will always have a special place in my heart. Going into the Archer program as a freshman in a new big school and a new town for me you were one of the very few people i could talk to and could trust and you would actually listen to me and give me advise on what i should do. You were always a helping hand to everyone, you always put other people before yourself which was one of your best qualities not only that you were very unique which is why most people grew very attached to you. Everyone has always said possitive things to you not once i have i ever heard a negative thing about you. You were kind sweet thoughtful and sincere and will still remain in my thoughts. You have helped so many people in so many different ways you will be missed in so many different ways.

The Spencer family you will remain in my thoughts and prayers, and i just want to let you know how privelleged i am to have met Mike.

Mike had to of been the most generous person i have ever met. He always had a smile on his face, going into the Archer program at Braintree High School was very scary as a freshman new people new school and even a new town for me but Mike was one of the very few people i could talk to about anything, and the best thing about him is he would listen not only that but he would understand your problems and help you with them. He was an great person very intellegent and unique but thats what made you love him. Im very sorry for your loss, you will all be in my thoughts and prayers.

Mike is such a beautiful being. It truly is a loss for planet earth to have him go onto other places. His work was one of a selfless nature and he brought happiness and light to so many people. I only knew him for a short while but in that time he truly inspired me through his kind and gentle soul. God will take care of him for eternity.

Mike was a really good kid who had so much to offer and so much potential. Granted I did not get the pleasure of really getting to know him... but he would come down to the store to just hang out at the Hanover Mall. He was an extremely sweet kid and I will never forget him. He was too young to be taken, but he's in a better place. Mike, we miss you.

Mike was an unusually kind and compassionate soul. He had a positive impact on many young lives in the short time he was with us. As a teacher in an alternative program, I find myself privileged to meet a lot of unusual young people who don't fit a cookie-cutter mold. Mike was far and away one of the most unusual and I am so happy to have known him. I will try to make it to Stonehenge sometime in the near future, Mike, and I'll leave a little memorial for you when I get there.

Mike, yours is a wise old soul. One only need meet you to know this. I know that you came into Chris' life for only a short time but I am eternally grateful for that time. You made a difference in his life. Just as you made a difference in so many others. Kristina and I are so very happy that you were the one who made our marriage official. Your spirit lives on in us, those who will miss you & cherish the time we had. We are all better people having known you. Thank you.
