Things couldn't be more unpredictable. I never thought the last time we spoke would be our last. I miss you like you'll never know. I have your blood in my children, and they won't forget their Uncle Mike. Know that 4-ever

Daymond & Family:
I hope that you find peace in knowing that Mike's long journey has come to an end, and peace is in store for you and your family. We all go way back to high school days, but that time spent will never be forgotten....those were the days when life was simple. Take care of you and yours, and may God grant you the much deserved peace that you need.

To: Mrs. Catherine, Daymond, and Benard; Words can't express how we felt when we heard the news about Mike, he was like a brother to us. Mama would have been devasted, because she was crazy about him and treated him as one of her own, but we won't worry no more because they are in heaven together smiling down on us. May God bless and keep you.

Mrs. Shields, Words can not express how I felt about Mike. God knew that his body was tired of this life. So now he is with the one who made him. Mike will always be special to me and and my kids Tay-Tay, T'Anthony and Naaman. All of you are in our prayers. Love

"Let Not your heart be troubled;you believe in God,believe also in Me.In my Father's house are many mansions;if it were not so,I would have told you.I go to prepare a place for you.And if I go and prepare a place for you,I will come again and receive you to Myself;That where I am,there you may be also.And where I go you know,and the way you know" John 14:1-4; To the family and friends I know we all loved Mike and his Big smile but God loved him best. Just remember if God brought you to it he will bring you through it. My deepest and sincere sympathy is with you all at this time of loss. If there is anything I can do please don't hesitate to ask. Love always.
