I miss you Mike, but the remembrance of your smile and the every time you saw me come running to me and hugging me helps the pain. Man Mike I always believe every time I would come back to DM you, your hugging and smile would always welcome me back...forever in my soul.??

To the family of Michael Knox, I know what your going through and hope that God keeps your family in his hand. I remember so many things playing at Uncle Butches and Aunt Mary's with Michelle; and Michael bugging us so much that we hide from him. What I can tell you is that after the tears and the emptiness have gone try and remember all the things that made Michael so special and carry that with you. Whenever you get sad and want to cry think of what he would want and put a smile on your face because you remember his great smile and his love for his family.

Words could never express the sorrow in my heart for your loss. Know that Ricky feels your sorrow and shares your loss also. May the heaviness in your hearts become lighter with the knowledge that Mike is in the best of hands and no longer suffers.
With all my love
