I meet Michael but really knew him through his son Derek.Fruit really doesn't fall from the tree. Therefore I know the kind of person you were because of knowing Derek as I do. Michael rest in peace your son is one of the finest I've had the pleasure to have the privilege of knowing and working with.
The Lord gives us a certain about of time on this earth, its never enough for us and most of all our love ones we leave behind. But its the lords time that we must leave on. Now its "time" that will start the healing for the love ones. My prayers and heart go out to your family and I pray your soul the lord to keep. May you rest in peace and May the lord help heal.
