Michelle and Phil cannot express my deepest sympathy. So long ago but just yesterday We met and the future was bright. Ou gave him a chance something he may not have had. Pat has been gone 12 years but the friendship and times we spent together as families was priceless

To Michelle, Phil & Sweet Sisters,
I am so very, very sorry to hear about the loss of such a beautiful light, who didn't have enough time with you... all my Prayers & my warmest memories of Michael will remain in my heart.
Addiction doesn't discriminate and your honesty will hopefully help others to realize that no matter how smart, beautiful and loved you are, taking a chance using any drug(s) can change the course of your life & SO MANY other lives!
You are very strong and courageous people regardless of how broken you must feel. You did your very best! He is safe in the Loving arms of our Lord Jesus Christ.

There is a sacredness in tears.
They are not the mark of weakness, but of power.
They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues.
They are the messengers of overwhelming grief,
of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love.
If you ask yourself when the pain will stop, it will not. But the pain will change with every passing day, and you will grow with it and learn to get used to it. If the pain becomes unbearable sometimes, that's alright. It's not a sign of weakness but of your never-ending love.

My heart breaks for your family and friends.I did not know Mike or his family but as i see this young handsome kid with a whole life ahead of him cut short by this terrible disease It breaks my heart. Everyone I know has been effected and lost someone close to them by this plague and I pray it is brought to an end before others have to endure the pain of losing a loved one so needlessly.

The pain is great. The loss is unbearable. The family and friends too sad to say. His journey is ended too soon. His memory will be forever.
I know I lost my 23 year old son to addition five years ago.
A Dad that knows your pain.

I am very sorry for your loss. Addiction doesn't discriminate and I am coming up on three years losing my younger brother although he was older than your son it never gets easier. No mother, father, sister, any family member should have to bury a child. I think about him everyday.

Phil, Michelle and family,
Brian and I along with our family can't express in words how sad we are for all of you! Michael was sweet, determined and definitely a challenge. Addiction is such a terrible tragedy it affects everyone from family to friends. Michael will be missed by all and especially by his daughter as she grows up -help her keep his memory alive.
So Sorry for your loss. Love Brian & Cheryl
