My Beloved Friend, No words can ever aspire to reveal the depth of my pain for the loss of your Precious Michael. May the knowledge that you are being lifted up and covered by the prayers of others, bring a measure of comfort at this time.

We will always be so greatful to Michael, even though we never had the priviledge of meeting him. Our daughter shared with us, how when our grandson Preston, went to CAC this year in the 7th grade and Michael saw him sitting by himself eating and asked him to come sit with him and his friends. How caring and sensitive. to include Preston. It's too bad that everyone couldn't have a spiritual heart like his. I told Preston after Michael passed into heaven in the arms of Jesus, that I feel someday that he'll invite Preston to sit at the banquet table of our Lord with him. Our prayers and thoughts are with his family and friends. May precious memories of him help you to somehow feel peace of the awesome young man he was. Earths loss is heavens gain.

Although I did not have the privilege of knowing Michael personally, my son Peyton did. They were in school together the last few years and Peyton feels blessed to have known such a wonderful sweet person as Michael. We are so sorry for your loss and pray every day for you to find some peace knowing he is well with God.
