To the Family of Michael Shay,

On behalf of our pastor, Rev. Don Wills and all of the membership of First Baptist Church of Ft. Worth, I express to you our prayers and comfort in the passing of Michael. The emptiness and hurt can seem to be overwhelming and your sorrow and grief are an expression of your love for Michael. The days will seem unbearably long. Be assured of our prayers for your comfort, peace, and strength in the hours to come.

Mike & Karen:

We can not even begin to imagine what you must feel. A son is a true blessing!! Losing one to God however, says he is even a bigger blessing than we knew. God chose him, now, to come and be with him. Know that he is in a much happier place now. Stay strong for each other. He will always be with you two!! If you need anything or there is anything we can do for you, please don't hesitate to ask us.
