Oh Michael, words can't describe the loss I am feeling after your tragic death. There has never been a friend closer to me than you. We have so many happy memories together but right know I can only grieve of your passing. Today, I went up to your grave and spent some time with you but having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact I will never see you on earth. I miss you more than you will ever know. I love you my dear friend. Life won't be the same without you. Whenever I saw you I couldn't help but smile but now all I can do is cry. Love you my dear friend that I never will forget. Love, Kimberly

Mike,
Words cannot express the sorrow I'm feeling right now. I know you would not want me to be sad so the tears I shed are tears of joy of the memories I collected of you and I over the years. Every time I hear a Willie, Haggard, or Milsap song a smile will appear on my face knowing you are listening and singing up above. Your kindness and helpfulness I will remember always. Until we meet again my forever friend rest easy. With love always. My deepest and sincere condolences to all of Mike's family and friends!
