Such a terrible loss to all. Michael was such a wonderful young man. Mike and I always enjoyed Michael stopping by to say "Hi". Shopping will never be the same without him reminding me not to forget Muzzy's beverage. Greg, know that Mike and I are thinking of you and always will have you and Michael in our hearts, thoughts and prayers.

I found out about Michael today and it completely broke my heart. I remember when he was coming to the OCOG youth group. He was a great guy. A little crazy, but he had a great heart. I'm so sorry that this happened. I'll be praying.

Words cannot express the sadness that I am feeling at the loss of Michael. He was definitely a "Pet Patient" at Northwest Eyecare. We loved him there. My heart is feeling very heavy this week. Michael and I became friends quickly, as he was so easygoing and funloving. I CANNOT imagine the anguish you feel at his loss. He will ALWAYS be remembered. Take comfort in that, and also that so many people care and loved him too.
You have my heartfelt sympathy.
