Michael,

I've thought about you more than usual these last several days. I had a dream about you the other night. I could hear your voice and see your smile. I woke up confused. For a moment I guess I thought it was real. You are in my thoughts-but you probably know that already. You are in my heart-and you probably know that too. We miss you Michael. Always.

Love You Always

Our Beloved Son:
Happy 33rd Birthday, we should be down the bar having your favorite drink with you (jack and coke) and of course dad and I would be having our beers. People keep telling us that it will become easier each day, but it's getting worse then time can tell. WE LOVE YOU TODAY,TOMMOROW and ALWAYS!!!!
MOM and DAD

My dearest Michael:

I live with this pain everyday but I'm trying to move on...it's just taking some time! I Love you, my beloved son and each day without you is hell on earth! Rest in peace my son...I'll be with you again some day.

Mike, Beverly & Danielle,

I was having lunch with my sister and brother, Courtney and Jonathan, and heard the news of Michael's passing. I just want to send my condolences to the three of you along with Mike's children, family and friends. I have sooo many great memories from living on Brooker Trace Lane. I'll never forget the trips, camping in our back yards, the bb gun incident and the Christmas pictures on the pontoon boat. I send this with great sadness and my thoughts and prayers...

Michael:
I thought I would let you know everyone here is sad we lost you. I was glad to see you and your son the last time you were here, and got to treat you both to my brownies. I know you enjoyed them. Your Mom and Dad are hanging in there,but I know it will take a long time, they both loved you always! They have a lot of friends around here that think the woeld of them, me included. I am not over doing my visits, as I know they need time to think of all the years they had with...

Mike, It is with a heavy heart and an unparalled saddness that I have learned of your untimely passing. You were a beautiful person in my life. You made me smile and you made me laugh hysterically. My heart is broken for you. For your family, for your babies. I'll never forget you and I thank you for brightening my life the way you did. May God rest your soul. I'll always love you Mike.

To Joanne and Mike Sr--You don't know me, but I knew Mike through my daughter, Jillian, in Raleigh/Cary, NC. He kept her safe during Hurricane Floyd, when I was so frightened for her safety. He really did keep her safe.

He was a very good friend to her in many ways, and although we just realized today that Mike has died, just two or three days ago, Jillian was showing me pictures of Mike and the other friends who were with them during that dangerous hurricane. Just two days ago--we...
