"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed
away; behold, all things are become become new." - Michael''s favorite scripture


My heart is broken, since you''ve been gone away. But I know you''ll be watching
over me every day. Your laugh kept me sane, your smile warmed my heart. I
never knew that the day would come that we''d be apart. I wish I could be with
you one last time. I will always cherish that our special day was scheduled for
December 5, 2014. You will never be forgotten, you''re always on my mind. I love
you with all my heart, and that''s a fact. I just want you back.

Love your fiancee,
Lisa

Until We Meet Again

We think about you always,
we talk about you still,
you have never been forgotten, Dad
and you never will.
We hold you close within our hearts,
and there you will remain,
To walk and guide us through our lives
until we meet again.

Michael, Devon, Jordan, Jada, Andrew, Brianna, and Vincent
