I am saddened to hear about your loss. Even though I never met Micheal, if his heart was a big as yours, he had to truly be a blessing. If there is anything that our family can do for you and yours, please do not hesitate to ask. In deepest regards the Penn family. Preston, Tanya, Preston Jr, Elyse and Nigel.

Julia, I was truly sadden to learn of Michael's homegoing. It caught me off guard.
I remember when the two of you first started dating in high school and later married. The love you two shared was something special.
The road ahead will be tough, but remember you are not alone.

To Lynn and family, Your lost is our lost. As each year has gone by, you all have become closer as a little brother and sister. We love you both. We know your pain but, here is a scripture that has gotten me through for years. John 14:1-6. My mom gave me that years ago. That's what got me through her death. We are here for you always. We all will meet again one day. Have peace in knowing that.
Love James Donna and kids
