Phil, Charlene, Tim and Michelle:

I was deeply saddened to hear about the loss of your son and brother Mike. It has been years since I have had the opportunity to speak with him, but I will hold close the many childhood memories that we shared together.

I offer my sincere condolences to the entire family during this unfortunate circumstance. Remember to share your memories that you have of Mike with others, so that those who did not have the opportunity to meet him may understand what type of person he was and how much he meant to each of you.

Our words are not adequate to express the sorrow we feel for your loss of Michael. We are so blessed and lucky to have known his beauty and we will keep his spirit alive with the many sacred memories we hold close to our heart.

Losing a child is a pain that is so high you can't get over it, so low you can't get under it, so wide you can't get around it, but you must go through the door. Keep the faith our friends, for I know you will all meet again.

Our heart goes out to you, the family,
and Kenna. All our love~Debbie, Clark, Jaki & Alyson
