I just wanted to send my love and condolences to Jan and Jennifer and everyone who has been affected by Michael's passing. I am also sending never ending prayers for the comfort of your hearts. We were all so close as young children and I regret that we were not as close as adults, as can happen in life sometimes, though I still cherish all of our time and talks that we did share. I thought you were the coolest kid I had ever known back then, because you were. I also appreciate you being so kind and understanding towards me during the toughest time of my life when our grandma passed away, I will forever be thankful for that. You always had such a kind heart and the warmest most loving spirit. I pray that you may Rest In Peace...until we meet again...
Love, Alisha
