    Michael and I had been friends since Kindergarten and I cannot believe he’s gone. He was a bull through and through. My condolences to the Smith family.

    My heart goes out to Michael’s family.I always knew him as “Mikey” He was more than a friend at my home….he made himself a huge part of our family. His heart was so huge and his spirit so brave! I loved Mikey and I know when I get to heaven he’ll be there. I loved what the Priest said” For all his suffering he believed that he attained Sainthood” I know he did! What a gift from God Mikey’s life was to us all! Love, Cyndi
