Not the best photo from my old camera, but I wanted to add it in memory of Micheal. 

Micheal Friend was my favorite person in Lynchburg! I was so sad to find out he passed away in October. I was a missionary for the LDS church and lived in Lynchburg in 2017. He was always so kind to me and had the biggest smile on his face no matter what! 

Very sorry to hear of Mike’s passing. Steve had fond memories of Mike in high school.

Condolences, prayers, and precious memories to Michael's family. I knew Michael as a friend in classes at EC  Glass HS. He was a humorous and gentle soul.  Peace. 
Rev. Roger Dowdy, EC Glass, '66.

I want to extend my sincere sympathies to Mike's family. Mike was a sweet, kind man. When we were at Park View UMC he always came into the office with such a sweet smile. Sending prayers! `Monica

Michael was a very good man.  We enjoyed our associations through Church and at Carter Bank.   While in Gretna these past few years our interaction was brief and only at the bank.  My prayers go to his family and friends left behind for comfort.  We know Michael is in good standing with the Lord and enjoying his freedom from his illness.  
Love, John & Barbara Ansted

So sorry to learn of Mikes passing. He was very knowledgeable and helpful to my family. He will be missed.

My condolences to Mike's family.  I hadn't seen Mike much in recent years, but several years ago I became a young widow and Mike was a good church friend that reached out to me.  We would go to lunch after church service, many times meeting up with his mother and Miss "T".   I will always remember his kindness to me.  He is a fine person gone too soon.

So sorry for the family loss condolences go out to the family and friends

I would like to extend my sincere sympathy to Mike’s family. He was such a great friend and coworker. He will be greatly missed!

Mike was such a wonderful person to be with, he was so compassionate and kind. I will miss him more than anyone can imagine! We weren't just associates we were friends. I love you My friend and will never forget our times together. You will always be in my heart. I'll miss you My Mike !!!
