Its always hard to leave a message like this, it feels different, but its more difficult when that person is so young. Michael & I always gave each other little digs trying to outdo one another, he won some & I won some, but he was always kind of laughing as he nailed me. You know the best came when he said, I seen a movie last night and you remind me of the main character , "The Jerk" but my come back was'nt bad either! I think we really developed a pretty neat friendship over those digs. We all should be extremely proud of Michael for all his accomplishments. What we took for granted, getting a driver's license, graduating ftom high school, he truly worked hard for. His best deed though,was the love he had for his parents, sisters, and brother. As he leaves us, a peice of our heart seems to be missing. My thoughts and prayers go out to Michael and his family, Love Ya Pal
