Rest in peace sweet prince. You were our hero, though you were a man of few words-you taught us many things about kindness and service through your examples. Now your work here is done, and your pain is ceased. We won't forget you. Your memory will live in us. Looking forward to walking and talking with you again someday soon when Jesus comes and wakes up all who are now asleep and takes us all to Heaven with Him. Love you forever, your son Michael.

Rest in peace sweet prince. Your work here is done, but will always cherish our memories of you. You taught us so many things. We were so blessed to have had you as our dad. Looking forward to walking and talking with you again someday when Jesus returns. Till then I know you're sleeping peacefully, and when that day comes it'll be as if you just closed your eyes. Love you forever your son Michael.

Those we love that leave us leave a void in our lives. Our memories of our times in Alexandria have been very special. The anticipation of getting there as we drove those many miles knowing he would be there to greet us, the laughter while there. Our memories will become treasures of the heart.
Love to all of you in Alexandria that loved him. Thank you for sharing him with us. Much love, Ron and Cleo
