I grew up just down the road from Michael and have many fond memories of him. When we were very young-chasing after bats in the barn, and later hanging out with so many friends in the fields and "the pines" (where there are now houses). And the music. So much fun. I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy.

Mike despite the hardship you faced in life your heart always seemed to smile. I believe that God saw how you found such joy in helping those around you that he felt it was time to invite you home where you would not struggle or experience sadness. You have taken another smile to heaven with you. I pray that you don't forget us as we will not forget you. God Bless you and your family and may they find joy knowing that you are still watching over them and are telling Jesus how much you love each and every one of them.
