My prayers continue for you and your family. May the Lord give you strength (Phillipians 4:13) at this time. Michael was a special gift from God for all, and he won't be forgotten in our hearts. We all were touched by his journey here and know that he has a special place in heaven with Our Wonderful Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Seek Him in your pain! In His Holy name, Gwen ( Barb and Bob's daughter)

Dear Alexis, Michael, Hannah and family, I am so saddened upon Michael's passing. We were blessed by such a beautiful boy for the short time that he was with us. Likewise he was blessed by a loving and caring family who always held out hope for him. May you be comforted by your memories and know that you have a special little angel in heaven. In deepest sympathy, Mary Jo
