You are our guardian angel MUAH I LOVE YOU COUSIN
Two weeks ago Michael asked my son to speak at his memorial if he were killed. They were good friends and of course my son agreed to it. Sadly, yesterday, he had to fulfill his promise and speak in Afghanistan at his memorial. He will never be forgotten, and our prayers go with you at this time. So sorry for your loss, I know that it is a very hard time for your family, my son and his buddies. Prayers for all of you at this time.
Michael you are and always will be my favorite nephew.. All I can think of saying is I MISS YOU!! No matter what was going on in your life you always made time to call your "aunt Norma" or visit me, and you always remembered the FED's. I know you cared so much for my boy's and Brit. and I know Adrian, Anthony, Joseph and Britany will never forget all the good, and not so good (haha)times you all shared. You will never be forgotten, you will live in our memories and in our HEARTS FOREVER!!

Dear Family:
I never knew him, but he took a stand for what he thought was right. I am sorry for your loss. Reading about how he died saddens me, along with others who have lost their lives in the war.
What he went to war for, is going to soon be realized for the world of mankind. At Revelation 21: 3,4 a promise of no more war, hate, crime. These things will not happen anymore. Another promise from God is a Resurrection of the Dead loved ones.
What a joyous time when all of God's promises will come true. John 5:28,29.
Isaiah 25:8
People will not always die, or have to fight wars. Death is what has been happening right down to our day. These promises will remedy all our sorrows.
These things are faithful and True.
There's a hope ahead for the world of manking.
My Family and I had the privelage of knowing Michael,We all attended the same place of worship.I will always remember him by those beautiful eyes of his so serious when he looked at you,he will be forever in our hearts and thoughts and for the family our prayers and love go out to you!
