You showed so much strenght and hope at such a hard time. I miss you every single day and I will love you for the rest of my life.

I knew Mike from high school and although we were not close friends he also said hi in passing. I too can remember hearing his laugh from across a room or down a hallway. I just recently heard of his passing and I was in shock, but know he is in a better place now resting and watching over all dear to him. God bless you all. Mike, may you now rest in peace.

Thank you to all for your kind words and thoughts about Michael.It is a great source of comfort to our Family.
We miss him terribly!
