In 1997, we met at Gainesville Job Corps. We immediately got attached to each other and everyone thought we were sister and brother so that's what we decided. My heart goes out to our family and friend. You have your wings now you can watch and protect us.....I LOVE YOU BROTHER

Michael, you can never be replaced. I am definately going to miss your since of humor, the bragging of how well you can barbeque, and most of all, your smile. I still can't believe you're gone. We love you!

I cannot fathom the death of your grief nor the pain or the burden you bare but i no someone who does. Trust in him. When you dont understand the reason why. Trust in him. When you cannot bare the load from burdens deep within. Trust in him. He mends the broken heart and heals your grieving soul. Trust in him. He is always by your side.......

Losing a Loved One

Although your heart is hurting,
and you feel you can't go on
Know in that very moment
Your loved one wasn't alone.

For God was there beside them
Holding onto their hand
As the time drew nearer
For them to leave this land

He held them close and whispered
"My child your time is now"
"But how will my loved ones go on?"
He whispered "I will show them how"

I will give them strength and love
and comfort in the night
I will fill their hearts with peace
Knowing you had wings as you took flight

You no longer walk amongst them
For now you fly above
with all my Heavenly Angels
Spreading everlasting and eternal love

Ms. Victoria, Mr. Michael, Felisha, Dee Dee and all of the family, my heart goes out to you all. Michael was a good person and I know he'll be missed by so many, but know that even in tragedy, God is still in control, even when we don't understand it. If you need anything, I'm only a phone call away.

Mike, I still can't believe you are no longer here. I just talked to you a few weeks ago. We go back a long ways, since what...'93, when me you and Sly used to be on the phone and the days of you making up your own words (skrism....LOL..you know I still use that word), we'd lose touch but always regain contact. I will miss you, I'll miss how crazy you were, always laughing and trying to make a joke, even if you were mad it still ended up being funny. I remember the first time I saw you, it was you, Al, Poochie and Man Man (Num Num) LOL! And the last time I saw you, we went to Wal-Mart. You will never be forgotten. Like you always used to tell me, I love you dawg! I know you were saved so I know where you are now. Til we meet again....your BF
