Not sure what to say?

Barb, Doug, Pam, Carl and Mary: I just recently learned of Mike's passing. I am so sorry for your loss. I have been praying for you, and I know others have been too. I read Dwight Peters' entry and had the same walk down memory lane. I am trusting God to lift you up, to glimpse His face in the midst of this pain, and to know that Mike is in His arms and living in His home. It is the rock of our faith - the knowledge that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. God bless...

UNCLE MIKE, HE WAS THE NICEST PERSON I HAVE EVER KNOWN, DOUG AND BARB YOU DONE A WONDERFUL JOB IN GIVING YOUR SON THE GIFT OF KINDNESS AND COMPASSION FOR OTHER PEOPLE. HE HAD HIS OWN WAY OF MAKING YOU FEEL GOOD WHEN YOU WERE WITH HIM, HE WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR YOU AND HE MADE IT EASY TO WANT TO HELP HIM.MIKE WAS A PESONELL INSPRATION OF MINE, HE TAUGHT ME TO LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST AND DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT THE HAND THAT YOU WERE DEALT, JUST PLAY THE CARDS YOU WERE GIVEN AND LET THE CHIPS FALL...

I'M NOT SURE, BUT BELIEVE THIS MAN WENT TO SCHOOL WITH ME - FROM ELEMENTARY THROUGH HAMADY HS. THE NOTICE DID NOT GIVE MUCH INFO BUT THE TOWN & AGE ARE CORRECT, SO I WOULD LIKE TO SEND MY PRAYERS TO THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF MICHAEL. HE WAS A SPECIAL GUY & I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HIS KINDNESS. GOD BLESS YOU ALL-
