He was a sweet person, and I know you will miss him dearly. Please know that we are thinking about you and your parents during this very sad time in your lives. I hope the days to come will be peaceful, and full of memories that will make you smile.
We love you,

Michael was one of THE most devoted fans I have ever known. He was always at Melissa's soccer games and would keep us updated on the USC football score if it was on a game day. God blessed him with the most amazing family who loved him dearly. God chose you to be his Mom, Dad, and sister. He will be greatly missed. My prayers and thoughts are with you.
