I want to share my condolences with Michael's family. I was lucky to know him and spend times with him Bowling on Sunday nights. He always had a way of making me laugh. He loved his music and his favorite ozzfest hat. We shared a love for music, poetry and video games. I always made sure to beep when I drove by the house and I'd see Mike raise his hand, his hat tipped to the side and a smile on his face. I'll always remember him that way.

Kathy, Mike and Mandy,

I am sorry for your loss and you are in my prayers. When I think of Michael ,I think of the little boy who was always busy getting into trouble. Remember, Kathy the day we were looking for your contact lenses? We found them, smashed in between where the draw closed, those were not plastic back then , so they broke. I needed to go up and get your glasses so you could see. Michael was touching them and tried to hurry to put them in the draw and missed! I told my children stories about you and the trouble you got into when you were little and we would laugh. You will be greatly missed. LOVE YOU!
