Michael was my baby brother, little did I know when I babysat him when he was little that I also would take care of him in his last days. Rest in peace Michael, love you always. Give mom and dad a hug for me.ߥ°
Kathleen, I am so sorry for your loss. You were always a good sister that took good care of Michael. May God bless you and give you peace. May Michael rest in peace. Linda Augenstein, Keenagers and Ave Maria Guild.
I’m so sorry to learn of Michael’s passing. I knew him through his parents bringing him to church & then Keenagers before he was old enough to join. May he rest in peace.
Michael was my co-worker at Allison Transmission. We became very close friends and I wipe the tears from my eyes as I write this, just now finding out about his passing.
Why ? What happened ?
He always had a smile on his face and I did too every time I saw him. He always called me ReJoyce. (Rejoice). My heart is broken that this fine spirit is no longer with us in the land of the living.
