To Diane and the family and close friends,

I offer my deepest sympathy for your great loss.

I was a college friend at Savannah State College.

I too admired Michael's extraordinary ability on the basketball court.

Please find comfort in knowing that there is eternal life in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour.

Diane,

I was so sorry to hear of Mike's passing. He was a mannerable and true gentleman around me at all times. I'll never forget a function we had on Unit 10 at GRHS, when he gave all the female staff that were present, 1 single rose. I also remember an occasion when my birthday was coming up. I was letting everybody know about it.:-) He surprised me with a small birthday cake on the morning of my birthday there on the unit. He was a wonderful person who loved you dearly. My prayer is that the Lord will sustain you as you prepare for his homegoing. Please know that "Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal."

God bless you.
