Dear Diane, Bill & Chad,
We cannot expect to understand the complexity of it all, but in our deepest sadness we realize also the greatest joy of sharing life together. Our time together is a precious, fragile gift. Your beautiful son touched many hearts and souls. I believe a clearer understanding comes when we join together again. We pray that your faith and love remain strong. God bless you all.

To the Christensen Family:
I was heart-broken to hear of your loss. Mike was an amazing young man and I heard he was doing great things at ASU. Though I have not seen you all since I left Arizona for Colorado, I thought of you all often. Mike was a class act on all of the basketball team outings. My heart and prayers are with you and your family.

It is hard for me to believe that you have lost your son and brother. I always felt as if I kn ew him as Betty was so proud of all of her grandchildren and rightly so. I feel so fortunate to have met him even if it was just once at Betty's burial. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your extended family. Mary J Fleming

Dear Bill,Diane and Chad,
I am so terribly sorry. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Michael said hello to me every time I saw him. He would ask how Kevin was doing. He was friendly with Laura.
If there is anything I can do I hope you will call upon me.

My heart dropped when I heard. I'm incredbily sorry for your loss. I played football with Mike at Desert Mountain. He was always full of life and drive. I knew in my heart he was someone special. Mike was the kind of man who brought everyone around him up.. He made me want to be a better person. I remember when I was struggling during conditioning and he came back to finish with me... he took the time and effort to push me and run more after he had already done more than enough for himself... that has always stuck with me and was a shining moment to his character. I'm unsure of what happened and I only heard after the fact, but I wanted you to know how much I admired him. I still do. Mike is immortal in my heart and he touched me and drives me to be a better person. I hope you find solace in knowing he's touched so many people...

Dear Christensens,
I shared many great times with Michael at ASU and during ROTC. He was a great friend and a great cadet and I am a better person for having known him. We participated in Desert Rangers and Ranger Challenge together and during Michael's first Bataan March he helped me carry my 35 lb. ruck sack when I was weak.
He will never be forgotten for all the great things he accomplished in his life. God Bless.

Please accept my most sincere sympathies to you, your husband Bill, Chad, and all of your family. My daily thoughts and prayers will be with you. Take care and comfort knowing that this wonderful Cochise community is grieving with, and for you. May God bless, comfort and keep you and your family close, and that one day you may find the strength to gradually begin to heal and find peace.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Christensen and Chad,I had the pleasure of Mikes company at JV football games. He would sit with me and my husband and our daughter Drey.Not to sure how interested in the game he was but when Drey would scoot off to socialize he would remain with us and chat...he is a special kid. Not many kids would stay and talk with the p-units. Drey and my hearts were broken..I can't imagine what you and your family are going thru...Chad.. be very strong..and that way Mikes presence will always be with all of us...Even though I have only met you Diane once or twice...please feel free to call me to help you with what ever..I am here for you..just as Mike was there for Drey all those years with his friendship. I will get you the pictures that I have of Mike at our house

Dear Diane and family,
I know that you are a family of faith and I truly believe that God has wonderful plans for your son Michael. As was stated at his service, Michael is now a "soldier for God." Even knowing that he is in Good Hands, I cannot imagine the grief that your family is experiencing at this time. In Psalm 55:22 it says;"Cast thy burden upon the Lord and he shall sustain thee." Please know that you are in our family's thoughts and prayers.
God Bless

Dear Diane, Bill, and Chad:
We know that words of comfort can help, but grief can never be fully expressed in words. Nor can the peace and the comfort, which God gives us, be put into words. Nicole's Grandfather died recently and also unexpectedly. I am thankful that we have been able to find His peace ("'Come unto Me, all ye that...are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.'" MATTHEW 11:28). Our Pastor reminded us at our time of grief, of what Paul wrote to us in II Corinthians about the God of all comfort and the Father of mercies who cares for us and extends to us His divine comfort and everlasting mercy. Our family will hold you up in prayer that you and your family will be continually overshadowed by the mercies of our heavenly Father and that He will comfort you through this most very difficult time and you also will feel His peace.
We hope to see you soon.
Love,
Ken, Kim and Nicole Holmes

I never met Michael, but he was one of the cadets in my son's Desert Rangers Battalion and also in the Bataan group, and I can tell you my son spoke very highly of him and said he was an exceptional cadet.

Bill, Diane & Chad,
We want to let you know what an amazing person Michael was. With all the choices in life he chose to serve & protect his country. That is a great honor.
As parents you raised 2 fine young men. You should always be proud of yourselves. Every time I hear someone talk of the boys it is with the utmost respect. Never a negative thing. They were honored to have such loving parents. You are an amazing family. One that we respect more than words can say.
Chad,
you are an amazing young man yourself. When you were dealt lemons you made lemonade. This is something someone your age normally couldn't do.
We are honored that we got to know your family.
It is with our greatest sympathy that we write this. Our thoughts & prayers are with you every step of the way. If you need anything please let us know.

Dear Bill, Diane and Chad,
I only met Michael once but that was time enough to realize what a fine young man he was;look at who he had for parents and for a brother. He was blessed to have you all and we know he was a blessing to you. My deepest thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of your family. May God watch over and help you through this unbearable loss of Michael. Love to you all.

I want you all to know that you are in my prayers and my families prayers.
I met Mike in middle school and was immediately floored by his generosity and sense of humor. In school, Mike was the guy that everyone wanted to be around because of the way that he treated others, never judging anyone and accepting everyone.
He was truly the All-American guy and the most well-rounded person I have ever met. He was intelligent, athletic, motivated, fun-loving, and most of all willing to do anything in his power to help those that needed it. Mike was loved by anyone that came into contact with him and that is an amazing feat.
You are in my prayers, may God bless you and watch over you with Mike by his side.

Dear the Christensen Family and Chad,
I was quite saddened when I heard the news about MIke. I went to High School with Chad, and can remember the first time that I met Mike. I was working the Desert Mountain Baseball camp. I can remember thinking to myself that this was a great kid. He displayed such a positive attitude. He was full of life, and eager to play baseball. He was always high in my thoughts whenever I would see him at school. Although we did not interact much after I went to college I would always ask Chad how he was doing. Chad had nothing but great things to say about his little brother. The last time I saw him was at the ASU vs. Oregon football game. I sat with him and hung out. He was fun, full of life, and so very proud of his older brother. He was wearing his brother's football jersey. I can remember him saying that Chad was always #1 to him. I just think that this is a beautiful part of life. Two brothers who care for and support one another. It is a tough loss. My thoughts are with you at this moment in time. Chad; you know that I was thinking about you when I heard the news. I want you to know that a tear came to my eye when I was driving home from work. You all are in my thoughts.
With love and respect

Bill, Diane, and Chad,
Our heartfelt condolences are with you and the rest of your family as you endure the most terrible pain a parent has to deal with.
Our son, Cody, was taken from us in April 2005, at the young age of 22.
He played pop warner with Chad. I remember seeing Michael at the games and Bill tossing the ball around with him at halftime, always with a smile on his face.
I pray for you during this most difficult time, that you can find peace in knowing he is in our Lord's loving arms. I am sure he and Cody will be smiling down, watching over us and giving us the strength we need, until we see them again.
We are still in the healing process, but please know that Mark and I are here for you if you would like to talk.
Sincerely,
Mark & Denise Morrison

He was always a joy to be around and was always the most caring and giving person. I will always remember his smile, his strong hugs that showed he cared and his drive for what he believed in. He was truly a great guy and will live forever in my heart and mind.
