I want to thank everyone including the funeral home, today was the hardest day in my whole life! My son meant more to me than life he was a great person, so smart and I love him so much! A part of me died with him and some many friends he had came and stood up with broken hearts the support you all gave and did was amazing I love you all thank you so much! Nobody knew Michael better than me, his wife and son he worked so hard for, his sister, brother in laws, nephews. He stood behind all of us no matter what because he was honest and caring! He was my best friend when all the bad in our lives happened, I feel he took too much on but was never asked. He knew the truth about everything and it tore him apart because he tried to protect me, we could count on each other and shared everything! I am not sure how I can continue without him but we will all stick together we have two boys that needed him and many of his friends
my family that I love dearly, I will be there for all of them as they for me! But I can't put a burden on them, just love them all and thank them!
