To The Thornhill Family,
May God comfort you during your time of bereavement. Michael was a special person who touched many lives with his humor. Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, May looking back in memory help comfort you tommorow.

To the Thornhill Family:
My deepest sympathy to all of you. I met Michael in middle school. He was so crazy! Then that moved to high school. He would always pick with me about the guy I was dating. My GOD keep all of you and remember with him ALL things are possible.

To the Thornhill Family:
My heart and prayers go out to you. I knew Michael most of my life. We first met back at Maymont School. It was only a couple of weeks ago that him and I talked, as we usually do whenever I'd see him at MCV. We'd always talk about our childhood and what could have been back in 83. He's in better place now. We're gonna miss him!!!!

A childhood friend shared the sad news of Michael's home going and I was sad but then remembered the wonderful laughs we had in middle and high school. Michael had a wonderful personality. May GOD comfort you during this time and my prayers and thoughts are with you.

I'm extremely saddened to hear of Michael's passing. He was truly a joy to be around growing up. His jokes and hanging out with him in High School are memories I will cherish the most. Heaven will truly enjoy its new angel.

My sympathy to the family. I came to know Michael through my son, Paul. My son was a student at Brunswick Academy and frequented the Pino's in Lawrenceville, where Michael was an employee. Michael and Paul quized each other on Bible verses and trivia. They became good friends and Michael told me that his youngest son's middle name was "Paul" after my son. The last time I saw Michael, we exchanged a hug and briefly caught up on how my son was doing and his health issues. My thoughts and...
