Michael was such a wonderful, good-natured person. We had so many fun times in high school. I am thinking of and praying for all of you during this time of sadness and grief. He was a bright light, extinguished way too early. Love, Julie (Flanagan) White

Dear Michael, what a long history we have had, and I had no idea God was calling to you. I had no idea the journey you were following here and how how you hid your courage so well. I wish you peace and new adventures in your resting place. To his family, I wish you strength and love.
