For Michael

Everyone who knew Michael can attest to how amazing he was. He loved everyone. He would help anyone. He was an amazing father, husband, soldier, brother, and friend. You could feel the atmosphere around you fill with joy as soon as he was near you. His laugh was contageous, and his smile could drag you out of any slump you may be in. He loved life, and he helped everyone he knew love life just as much. I have seen him brighten multiple strangers days just by talking and laughing.  Most importantly, Michael would never hesitate to help someone in need. I know this at a very deep, personal level, as many others do. He was a man of faith and we know he is in heaven with our Father now. No matter how much, or for how long those of us left behind will grieve in loss of this amazing man, we also know he is now watching over us from above. Any help that can be given for the family to deal with the tough time ahead  will be greatly appreciated, prayer especially. Rest in peace Michael, my brother, my rock, we will all miss you more than word can express....God Bless everyone and thank you for your support and prayers.
