Michael, we will all miss you deeply. I am so glad that we all had a chance to be with you when you knew who we were, a chance to say good bye, and to get that very speceial kiss you gave us. Lori and the boys will be safe. I prayed daily for God to heal each part of your brain and body. HE did by giving you a completely NEW one. I know you are with Jesus and are looking out for your boys. You are the soft hearted boy I always knew. I love you. Mama

Dear Lori, Brandon & Jason,
It's difficult to find the right words at times like this. It's also hard to be living so far away when I'd like to be there for you to give support and hugs. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

To the entire Gordon family - we were so devestated to hear about Mike. He's been part of our family through Greg for almost 30 years. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this most difficult time.

I am saddened to hear the news of Michael's passing. I am so sorry that I cannot be there, but my love, thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I have such fond memories of all of us being together at the camp during summer vacations when we were kids.. Michael was the adorable one with the beautiful smile, then and as an adult. I am sure that he has been greeted in heaven by everyone who went before him, and loved him so. And someday, we will all be together again. And even though we've grown up in different states and may not have seen each other much as we got older, we've always remained connected by that invisible thread - the one that just knows that we are, and always will be, family. Much love to all ~ XOXOXO Debbie and family

We are truly heartbroken and want to express our deepest sympathy. We have many great memories of Mike. We are so grateful to have been able to spend many fun times in California. I can't help but laugh at remembering being caught in a snowstorm in Lake Tahoe and walking knee deep in snow to get to our cabin. Both of our weddings were special to us. I can not express what it meant to us to have a visit from Mike, Lori and the kids in Atlanta, Ga. I am so sorry for the loss of a wonderful person. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. I know that Mike will be missed
