My condolences to the family. May you draw strength from the words of Job who asked, "If a man dies, can he live again?" God assured him that the answer was yes. (Job 14:14,15). May the promise that we can see our loved ones again in the future bring you comfort during this time. Please accept our sympathy.

Michael was my best friend for many many years. We loved to dance and party. I am returning from Arizona
Monday and had planned on seeing him with John Seddon. Michael and I have lots and lots of memories. He ate dinner everynight at our house for many years when we were young. So sorry I did not get to see him. He was such a good friend. He will be missed, but he is no longer suffering. He is with our Lord and Savior.
