Michael was a great friend to have. Always willing to lend a hand. Incredibly funny. We worked together I learned allot from him. He helped me learn the trade that I love so much. He was always helpful. I will hold many memories dear. When I get to Heaven he will on the list of people to get a hold of.
God Bless the Shoemaker's .

Michael and Michelle, as I call them Team M & M, truly showed the meaning of what it means to love someone through sickness and in health. Michelle, You continue to be in our prayers. The entire family from Michael's parents Bob & Myrna, who were also sweet champions during this, at the hospital, and sister Beth and brother David. You SHOMAKERs know how to be there for one another. I've never met Kyle or Cody or Sophie, but when Mike was able to write, He'd mentioned how You boosted him in so many ways. Family was his heart, especially this year. Kyle I will always remember the post on FBk when your Dad and You were walking laps in the hospital, and how just you being there lifted him in ways that made a true difference. God's Blessings and Comfort and the sincerity of friends and family surround You each and all, as You remember all the ways that made Mike significant in your life, and made your heart smile knowing him. Each of You has a special part in carrying on something that He taught You, and of course his undeniable wit and humor and courage, and being there for one another.
Love in Christ~
