Carol - Words are hard to express for your loss - I know you as capable of great strength  - let your love of Mikey and memories of him wrap you up like a security blanket to get you through.  Carry on his best attributes so that he will continue to live through you - which I know he will do.  I still picture him as a little (well, not so little :) baby, in my arms when you and I would come in to work on Saturdays.  You will stay close in my heart....take each day as it comes ... with purpose and love for all those you hold dear.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Michael's family. He was an exceptional young man. We are hoping the love, the memories and the joy of the time you had with him will give you strength and help you to bear your loss.

Dear Carolyn and Arthur,
I just found out the news about Michael and I am very sorry for your loss. I have known Michael for 11 years and I'm not sure if you remember me but Mike will be kept in my thoughts and prayers. He was a good man and I know he's in a good place. I'm in georgia now but when come to Fl I will make sure to visit. Please take care of yourselves.

Carol, Art and family,
From the first day we met Mike, he instantly became a part of our family. We will never forget the love and joy he brought to Davis Ann. We have so many special memories of our time with him. One of our favorite memories was his love of hot sauce and how he used it on everything he ate, including pancakes(I'm thinking it may of had something to do with my cooking). He will never be forgotten and will forever be in our hearts.

My sister Carol is a very special person who always supported Michael and got him through some tough times to make him the wonderful, caring man that he had become. She always stood by him and helped him and guided him with her patience to allow him to be the special man that everyone knew. She was blessed to have had Mikey but he was also blessed to have had Carol for a Mother and Art for a wonderful Father and role model to look up to. He will always be with us.

Carolyn & Art,
Sending thoughts and prayers to you and your family during this difficult time. If there's anything we can do please let us know. Love you all.
