My family and I knew each other when we lived in the Arrowhead subdivision. We were close friends and our boys played with Shannon, Stephen and Matthew.
Michael was so well liked by our family, he had this beautiful smile and wonderful eyes. I was thrilled to talk him into being in the theater group I was in and trying out for a part. I still have the "autograph" he gave me.
We lost touch with him when we moved and he and Darlene divorced. I thought of him off and on and wondered about where he was.
My deepest sympathy, it's so difficult to lose a loved one. I hope to see him again someday.
