Dear Shirley and family
Peggy and I want to express our condolences. I will miss Michael but I know he is with Jesus and he is at peace and he has won his place in Heaven. Mike was always so good to me and taught me so much about the game of football and the game of life. I will never forget mike and I will always keep him in my prayers. We are in florida but when we get home hopefully we can visit.
God Bless Michael,...
