I will never forget the impact Michael had on all of us at Reeds Road...like being our coach during the faculty/ student basketball games and just how his smile always lit up all our days.

Dear Family of Mike~
I had been going to school with Mike for 5 years and had some occasional conversations with your ray of sunshine. Michael had a place in all of our hearts that could never be forgotten. His jokes, smiles, and confidence will always be looked up to. Although we all miss him and have tears in our eyes, we can't wait to see him again at those pearly gates! Best wishes to you.
Very sincerely,
Katie
