Dear Michael's Family, I am so sorry for you loss. I met Michael here at the bank when he was just in high school and he and I just hit it off with laughing and talking. I felt like he was one of my own kids. I always tried to help him with his banking and he would call me from school to see if everything was alright and I would say,"Michael, don't be using your debit card anymore today ok? And he would just laugh and I could just see that big smile!!!! I miss you Michael, be our angel in heaven!

Michelle and Joe ... I can't begin to imagine the heartache and deep, wordless pain that you and your family are experiencing right now. Our children, our babies, are part of every breath we take, whether they are in our arms or miles away, because they possess a portion of our heart and soul that no one else can touch. May the many declarations of comfort and solace help ease your pain and bring your family closer together to revisit all the joy Michael has brought to your lives. That will never vanish.
