He left heartfelt warm memories of his love. I am really going to miss him. He was my best friend and a devoted husband full of love, laughs, and smiles. He was a man full of wisdom and he loved God. He walked in authority and humility. He encouraged and uplifted many people. His work skills were unlimited. He could build anything, and fix everything. He loved his children and grandchildren. God put us together and God’s divine plan is now completed. Michael would say “please don’t cry for me” his life was designed to show you about God and his unconditional love. Live on Michael and receive your rewards in heaven having an everlasting life. I will not forget you and one day we will all rejoice again. The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living. God with his infinite power closed Michael eyes and sealed his lips. Michael God’s beloved son was called back home on Friday September 22, 2023.
