So sorry for the family's loss. Losing a loved one in death is never easy. In the days ahead, may you find comfort in the God of loyal love and in the promise found at John 6:40.

Michael

We all gathered last Saturday to honor you and send our love to you. We all got together and celebrated you and your love of life and your family and horses. Monique came and Josh, Jean and Mikey came and so many relatives and friends. Eddie Reardon and Ronnie were having a tough difficult time with your passing. I did your eulogy and Steve brought me up a cup of water and it spilled and I blamed you for spilling it. I hope I honored you and did right in my words. I love you my brother and Bella and Steve love you too. Be at peace with God. Miss you so much XoXo

Micheal, you were a great neighbor growing up together, your sister and I probably teased you more than we should have. Just ring kids. Was a fun life back then. All my condolences to your wonderful family. Many prayers to all
