Dear Lorretta and Jim, anyone who knew Michael knew that he was very special, you might say an angel on earth. He had a beautiful glow about him. Michael was so proud of his family, proud of the love and unity that you all share. We know that Micahels work is done here on earth and that the Lord has called him back to be with him. We can only imagin how happy Tiffany is to have her brother with her. Michael will live in our memories and in our hearts. I feel blessed that Michael touched my life. With heartfelt sympathy and love, Cheryl
