I am saddened to know that Michael is no longer with us, but comforted to know that he is with the Lord. I do not know the family, but I went to middle school at Clinton Christian with Michael. We took all of our classes together and I remember him as a family oriented individual even then. He spoke often of his sister, whom, even when he didn't act like it, he loved dearly. Ever since finding out that he is no longer with you, I have been praying for you and will continue to do so.

Miss Shirley,
I will truly miss my friend. Selfish as it seems, it is. But when I opened my word, the instructions :), I received such peace:
Thessalonians 4 13:18
13. But we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. 14. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. 15. For this we declare to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the archangel's call, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first; 17. then we who are alive, who are left, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so we shall always be with the Lord. 18. Therefore comfort one another with these words.

I would like to express my deepest condolences to the Saunders family. I got to know Mikey in 1990. We worked together on a government contract @ Naval Surface Warfare Center in White Oak. We had common interest, like being a good father to our sons, shooting basketball, and life in DC. I'll never forget the time you helped me and Erica move into our first place...or, my bachelors party. As we grew in life, we kinda got separated...we ran into each other from time to time and place to place.
We'll my good friend, God has set your course, the destination is upon you. Rest in peace, my friend...
Acts 2:17-21
