I was Sadden to Hear that Micheal had Passed. When We Were Young; We were Neighbors, Classmates and Friends. Micheal Always Showed A Maturity Beyond His Years. He Concerned About His Family; His Classwork; and His Friends. Micheal was Also An Excellent Student; Who Excelled In Class: He Was Always Neat and Well Mannered. I Had Not Talked to Micheal in Several Years; Although,I Am Sure, Had We Talked; We Would Have Reminisced About Old Times. My Sincerest Condolences to The Entire Family. RIH Micheal. God Bless. Sandra McGill Smith, Tallahassee, Florida
