Dear Susan,
My deep and heartfelt sympathies go out to you and family. I can still see a cheerful Mike with tribe in tow as you came to the ballfield. Many years have not diminished my fond memory of him and all of you.

To the Blaylock Family:
My thoughts and prayers are with you as you travel this journey. We so totally understand, as we lost our son Kevin on June 14. Kevin and Michael were great friends as Wednesday members of the MSAC. I know in my heart that Kevin was there to greet Michael with a big smile and a hug. And, with Michael's wonderful sense of humor, what they would have said to one another could not be printed here! Knowing the heroic struggle that each endured, the thought of that meeting, both standing, hugging, slapping each other on the back, brings a smile, as I hope, in time, it will to you, too. I pray that God carries you all through this time. May your memories of Michael bring you comfort.

Our thoughts are with the Blaylock family at this time. Isaiah 57: 1-2 says "The righteous perish, and no one ponders it in his heart; devout men are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil. Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death."

God, Creator and Redeemer of all the faithful, grant to the souls of your servants and handmaids the forgiveness of all their sins. Through our devout prayers may they obtain the pardon which he has always desired. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen Lord, hear out prayers; in your mercy, bring him to your place of peace and light the soul of your servant Michael Blaylock , whom you have summoned from this world. Call Michael to be numbered in the fellowship of your saints. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen Alex and Family our thoughts and prayers are with you.
