FROM OUR HEARTS
From Christine life companion for 29 years It's so hard to imagine my life without Michael. He is the type of man who would help others before himself. Our son Micah and I will start a very lonely journey however I believe with God being by our side and supporting each other we will be able to reach our greatest potential. It is extremely difficult to imagine Michael not being here but I know he " would " want us to continue being strong and accomplish our goals.
From Micah your son
I love you - I Will Always Love You!
