Our hearts go out to you Mike and Kelly during this time. Michael was truly a wonderful soul and a gift from God to all that knew him. I never have met a more Polite and caring individual such as he. When I would see him I would always ask how he was doing and never would you hear him complain about anything despite how he really felt inside. He certainly was a fighter and a soul who despite the odds fought for each breath to remain with those he Loved and who Loved him. Michael will certainly be missed by those who knew him. With deepest sympathy our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

We're praying for your family as you walk through the sadness of Mikey's homecoming. I know he wasn't known by that name anymore, but that is how we remember him. Our son, Joe, said he still remembers when he was laid up in a cast and Mike brought over his gamecube and hung out with him to help cheer him up! Our loss is heaven's gain ... praying!
