Michael Andrew Rainer

I have known Michael since I first moved to Dothan back in 2nd grade...even tho we had lost contact over the years I still consider him as a friend...I send my heart....Keith B.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Please accept our deepest sympathies.

Dear Maiga,Robin,and Tom,

I know you are all hurting during this time of sorrow but Michael is no longer suffering and he is in a much better place now. I choose to remember Michael as the very sweet and kind young man that graced my home several times while in high school. He always had a big smile and hug for me whenever I saw him. He had a way of bringing joy to everyone's life. He will be greatly missed by my family.

God Bless!
Laura Clark Smith, Steve, Krista...

We are sorry to hear of your loss. We wanted to say your family is in our thoughts and prayers. Courtney and Michael were at our home about a month ago for a BBQ he was all smiles and talking about the baby this is how we will remember him.
