Having grown up in Osceola, Michael and I were friends from the get go in elementary school and we graduated together. He was true friend and man of his word. He was never shy to share Christ with anyone and lived a good Christian life as best as any mortal human could. I even attended church w/him at the Penecostal church in Old Town when we were in high school. Mike will be truly missed all of us who knew him. My prayers for the family. He was a GOOD man. The Class of '71 gets smaller as the years pass. I know you are praising God right now and signing in that Angel band.

I will forever remember you in my time of need way back in the late 70's. You stood in the gap for me and prayed for over three hours that GOD would spare my life. I was spared and now serving GOD thanking him everyday for his mercy. Thank you for you dedication to the Lord and your love for your family. Those things the devil tried to hinder you with were just stepping stones that helped you remember the way to the cross. James and I will miss you. One day a reunion we will have on that great day! Thank you forever and always!!
