Dear Hardeman Family,
So sorry for your loss.  I went to church with Michael and his family when I was younger.  Michael sometimes lead our Sunday school class as a young man.  One thing I have always remembered was the way Michael illustrated eternity to us in class one time.  He asked us to think of an ant crawling on a very long string from earth all the way to another planet and back and to try picture how long that would take.  Then he said, "And just think, that would only be like A SECOND (dramatic pause) in eternity."  We were young then probably did not appreciate the concept as much as he (probably in his early 20's) did at the time, but it did always leave me with an impression of God's greatness and how little we understand.  I looked through some of the pictures posted of Michael, and I can see all the love that surrounded him and the love that beamed out from him.   
Thinking of you during this difficult time, 
Jennifer Fowler

Carl and Ann,
I am very sad to hear of Michael’s passing.
It’s so hard for a family to bear! My prayers are with you.
I remember Michael and my son Tommy started at Wooddale Church nursery together, and shared the same birthdate.
I’m so thankful for all of Michael’s loving family  and I grieve with you in your loss.
And I thank you, Carl and Ann, for raising such a wonderful son. 
Love and prayers,
Betty Rodriguez
