To Miss Evelyn and Donald and the Waddell Family:
Truly you have my love and sympathy in the passing of Michael. Mike will always be remembered as a handsome, cheerful man who reached out and took care of his family. Mike was a cute, chubby little boy growing up, and he had a beautiful smile and beautiful eyes. Our families have been friends and neighbors since Hattonsville (Airline Blvd, Chesapeake VA) and this was truly another great loss. As with the previous passings of Mr. Waddell, Alton, and Lois, this broke my heart to hear of Michael's passing. May God give you strength and peace, and may Mike's love be with you always.
Love and Prayers

But some people called us husband and wife, We hung out just two weeks ago at a birthday party.We had a real good time and that was the last time i seen him!

I met Michael through his friend Carlton Ratcliffe, over 25years ago. I have not seen him for some time, but it was surely heart felt to hear of his passing. My prayers are with the family. May God bless and keep you.

Michael will be greatly missed. GOD needed and wanted him home with him more. I know in my heart he is smiling with his sister, brother and dad after finally arriving to his true home.

I was shocked to hear of the news. I have known Michael and the Waddell family since I was seven years old. We belonged to the same church. (Holy Light Church of Deliverance) My son is in the NRHS band and thats when I met up with Mr. Waddell once again. Also, when my son attended Driver Elem. Mr. Waddell was there also. He will truly be missed.

I only had a brief opportunity to know Michael as he was my lab partner in a class we was taking. I will always remember his gentle spirit and his kindness. I pray God will bless your family and bring comfort to all of you during this trying time.

May God Bless your soul. To the Waddell Family, you have my sympathy. My sister and I went to school with Mike and he was a good person. I recently met up with him at Nansemond River High School where my children marched in the band and he was the most dedicated band booster/assistant they had. He loved the children and he always told me he was going to beat my son up because he talk too much. I love you Micheal and heaven is smiling upon you.
