Michael was a classmate at A&M, a good friend and a great colleague with the Aggie FDT. I regret that I was unable to attend the services due to a teaching assignment with JROTC. I keep Michael and his family and friends in my prayers and thoughts.

Mr Burkett (and Family),
Thanks for your encouragement and infinite wisdom while you were here with me at Fresenius Dialysis Kidney Care Kirby.

I'm so sorry to hear about his passing. He looks like he was a very happy man, and having so many loving children, grandchildren, and especially his spouse with him at the end was a comfort for sure. Prayers to you all.
