Michael-Paul was my great-nephew (my sister Janet's grandson). I remember him being a sweet young man and I am so very saddened by his passing. May God's grace and peace be with all of his family, friends, and loved ones.

Did not know Michael except from Lowes. He was a friendly young man. Always made me smile when we went in store and heard him say"Welcome to Lowes" as if he was saying welcome to Moe's.My husband and I will miss his friendly face. Deepest sympathy to all of his family and friends.

when you lose someone it can be hard to take
the pain that you feel when your heart has to break
the memories you keep are all in your mind
as you search your soul for more to find
the way their skin felt the smell of their hair
as you keep thinking over and shedding a tear
the years may pass, memories fade to grey
but your getting no younger you'll see them someday
unconditional love is never forgotten
look deep in your heart it is there at the bottom
alone in the dark sometimes in fear
voices from loved ones your hoping to hear
more years pass, they soon fly by
but your always looked upon from those in the sky
surrounded by clouds and pure white doves
they listen and watch sending you love
just remember one thing as you sit and you pray
they will be there to greet you, you will see them someday.
