It is hard to believe that you have been gone for a year already. I still remember all the happy times in Wickham Knolls. Many times I have driven through our old neighborhood to see how it has changed. It is too quiet for me. I don´t see or hear any kids. There was non stop noise from the time we got home from school till it was time to go in for the night. Those were the days. RIP my friend. I miss you.

My deepest condolences to the Melder family. I grew up knowing the Melder family. We went to school together. I hadn´t seen Michael in a long time but I never forgot him or Lauren or Joe. I miss the times we. Had in Wickham Knoll´s. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Michael was my friends with my husband Thomas Watson since they were 4yo. I had the pleasure of knowing Michael myself for 30years. He was a loyal friend and will be missed by many who knew him. This is Michael in 4th grade and at one of many high school reunions we celebrated with him.
R.I.P. Michael
