Dear Ernie, Patti, & Kate Sharon,

I wanted to let all of you know what a pleasure it was to know and coach Michael. I always knew he would be successful in whatever he chose, and he was definitely choosing his own path into adulthood! As a coaching staff, we will certainly never forget Mike's key hits during the season, and especially his monster home runs in the playoffs! But more importantly, his character and mature leadership for the team. Players looked up to Mike not only for his success on the field, but his demeanor and strong presence always. As a coaching staff, it was like having another coach on and off the field for us. We were so sorry to hear of Mike's passing, but hopeful he was happy in all of his endeavors and will remember him fondly always.

It is with great sadness to say as a second cousin , living in Georgia, my family did not have the privilege of sharing Michael ‘s life.

Reading the obituary of Michael’s , joy’s and passions had enabled our family to realize what an enterprising and interesting cousin ( person) he was.

We mourn for his grieving parents and girlfriend, but as people of faith ,we know Michael is with so many of his relatives that are welcoming him into a New Life.Praise God

REST IN PEACE MICHAEL, YOU ARE NOW WITH YOUR AUNT BONNIE AND YOUR GRANDMOTHER. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE LOVED AND MISSED BY SO MANY.

I was saddened to hear of Michael's passing. Thinking of you and wishing you peace and comfort as you remember Michael.

Pam
