We worked together only couple of years but he was such a valued member of our team. For the last several months of his employment here, he and I worked side by side daily. Michael was a great team mate, true friend and loved his family. We miss him and will cherish the time we were allowed to know him. God Bless you and comfort you Nancy.

My deepest sympathy. It is so difficult to lose a child...as I just lost my 38 year old grandson from cancer. Lamont you and my sister Margaret "Meg" Moody Ramsey were very good friends and if she were still living I know she would also be sending you her deepest sympathy. My love to your sister Betty, too.

Nancy, I did not know Monty that well, but whet I knew, I really liked. He has been a wonderful friend to my brother, Bill Wyatt, & I will always remember the Jimmy Buffett concert that we all shared together. My sympathy goes out to you.

Paraphrasing Khalil Gibran, sorrow is the absence of that which brings us delight. Monty brought us such joy and delight. In our sorrow, we recognize the void, the huge impression, left in our lives by Monty. May the many fond memories bring Monty's family peace in the days ahead, and help us all cope with our sorrow.
