My heartfelt sympathy for the family of Mike May.
I grew up in the same neighborhood. Mike was a kind and unassuming young man who had a smile for the young, old, peer or not....just a nice fellow.
May your pain be eased with warm memories.

My heart goes out to you all, especially Aunt Mary since she is the only one I met. I remember how lovingly she believed in him. I am so sorry he is gone and that you all have such an empty spot in your lives. Prayers are with you all.

Dear God in Heaven above, ..I just got the news from Amanda, and said a prayer with her at a traffic light... Be with her, and the May family, Lord Jesus, and help them deal with this tough situation. ..Keep a hedge of protection around Amanda, her relatives, and friends, with The Holy Spirit and Angels, Lord Jesus. ..I ask this in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen. Dennis Coffey ( former Ferguson Mariner baseball and football player, and currently, guitarist at Asbury Wesleyan Church on Harpersville Rd. )
