This message is to my husband Michael:
Michael, we knew we were eachother's sold mates from the beginning. The love you had for me was incredible. I always prayed to God that I was so fortunate to have the perfect family. I never took that love for granted and I am so thankful for the years you blessed mine and Austin's life.
Your memory will be kept alive with stories that can be shared with all of your friends and family.
Austin and I love you. I will dance and sing in your name.
- Your loving wife

My heart broke when I heard about Michael's death. When I look at the pictures of him, he is exactly how I remember you when we were young. Little did we know back then how unfair life is.

Nobody should have to go through what your family has. The emptiness can only be filled with Gods help.

Joy Brown

July 31, 2013

For those that were unable to attend the memorial service Monday evening for our dear friend Mike I am posting the words I spoke at his service. One of my best friends Lori was his wife and I was honored to have been able to speak on his behalf. He was loved by many and will be definitely missed. RIP MIKE!!

HI, for those that do not know me, my name is Joy. I am one of Lori's best friends. I met Lori about 7 years ago when I moved to Jacksonville. She was my first friend here. I have seen her go through ups and downs, but when she met Mike her whole world changed. She had finally discovered that missing void we all strive to fill in our lives. I was so glad to see her so happy. I knew Mike before they met, but felt I had gained a new great friend when he came into her life. He cared about me because he cared about her. He became her everything, her best friend, her husband, a father figure for her son Austin, a perfect son-in law to her parents, her soul mate. If only we could all be so lucky to find this. Such a beautiful family. A life cut way too short. Who knows why such horrible things happen to such good people. We like to think there is a reason behind it all, but it still does not make things like this easier. Life is never fair. In the blink of an eye everything can change, so forgive often and love with all your heart. You never know when you may not have that chance again.
The human spirit is the most powerful force in this world. It is something that no one destroys. If you do not let it be distinguished it will carry you through. Mike's spirit indeed remains everywhere in all of us. It is always easier to leave than be left. Love is stronger than loss. With Lori's nickname actually being Love this loss will not break her. No love, no friendship can cross the path of our destiny without leaving some mark on it forever. There are people we meet in life that make everything seem magical. Mike was one of these people. He had a huge heart, an infectious smile, and a kind soul. He will be cherished by all of us. May he continue to help guide and illuminate our journeys.

My sincerest and heartfelt condolences to Mike's entire family.

"For all that we struggle
For all we pretend
You know it don't come down to nothing
Except love in the end
And ours is a road
That is strewn with goodbyes
But as it unfolds
As it all unwinds
Remember your soul is the one thing
You can't compromise
Step out of the shadow
We're gonna go where we can shine"

July 31, 2013

I am so sorry for the loss of Michael for the entire family and the friends he leaves behind. Deepest condolences, John Lewis

When I saw the newspaper on Monday, I knew immediately Michael had to be your son. He was a spit image of you, Tony, his dad. We were all so shocked and saddened by his sudden and untimely passing. I can't imagine the sadness and grief you are experiencing now, but as the days pass your
love and memories will be sustained by your family, friends and above all
God's continued love, support and guidance. With my deepest sympathy on your loss.

Dear Tony and Winnie,
I was saddened to read about Michael's obit in today's Richmond paper. When I saw the last name, I thought of you and hoped he was not related. Unfortunately, that was not the case. 37 is way too short of a life, and I'm very sorry for your loss. It's an upside down world when you have to bury a child. Believe me I know. Sincerely, Don Thompson
