I will never thought in my 20 years of life, I would end up going to not only a neighborhood friend, but a Classmate of mine Funeral. Michael, you touched so many of us, you would not believed how much love we have for you. You are now our Guardian Angel for not only your family and friends, but for our Class of 2012.

"May tender memories soften your grief,
May fond recollection bring you relief,
And may you find comfort and peace in the thought
Of the joy that knowing your loved one brought...
For time and space can never divide
Or keep your loved one from your side.
When memory paints in colors true,
the happy hours that belonged to you."
