Alexis I was truly sorry to hear about Michael almost in disbelieve. Michael became a part of my family a few years ago........and what a joy he was and it was a pleasure knowing him. He loved my spaghetti (I would tease him and say slow down Booman) he loved the old pics my husband had...he would crack up at the guys hair in the pics (they had process hair)Michael was a good young man and a respectful one to. Alexis remember to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Love & Prayers Yvette (Dump)
