Dear Nancy and Family, All of you along with us were truly blessed to have Michael pass through our lives. What a wonderful gift the Good Lord has given all of us!
Michael,
We began our journey together at HKF and had so many memorable moments along the way. Family was always first in our minds and hearts followed very closely by friends. You sir, were and always will be one of finest, caring, loyal friends I have had in my 66 years. Your sense of humor, wonderful smile, very kind eyes and huge heart were always a welcome sight to behold. Your courage was and will always be of legendary proportions. And your love for Nancy and "The Boys" as you referred to them so often was never ending always bringing forward "The Bright Lights of Pride" on your face for all to see and admire.
I will never say goodbye to my very special friend Michael ... rather until we meet again .... You are now free to walk, run, hold hands, feel the breeze upon your face and blowing through your hair and be with those loved who preceeded you ... once again. You have gone to that place of peace and comfort that we all seek when, like you, our guardian angel says .... It Is Time. And when you arrived the Blessed Virgin Mary held you up high while turning for all to see and say .... Look everyone ... Look who has come home ... Then placed you in the Hollow of His Arms to Touch the Face of God.
For Michael:
When Someone Great Once Was ... Someone Great Will Always Be ..
Some few people touch our lives sweetly, gently, profoundly ... and forever. Cherish the touch with gratitude ... and continue to be inspired to reach out and touch other lives ... as Michael has touched ours!
With Love and Appreciation for your Friendship. The Honor was All Mine ... Michael.
