Dear Cindy, Tyler and Chris ~
I am so glad I gave Michael a hug the last time I saw him. I knew he was struggling and that hug was my way of letting him know he still meant something and that I cared.  I have so many memories of him as a young boy and watching him grow.  My heart is breaking for all of you. I hope his fun spirit and Atticus will help ease the pain of your loss.
God Bless you all – Holly Warfel

I’m so very sorry for your loss. I didn’t know Mike, but I wanted to thank you for being so brave and mentioning his illness of addiction. By bringing this illness out in the open, it lessens the isolation these young people feel and lessens the negative stigma attached. And it certainly takes the power away from the drug dealers. My son is battling addiction; my heart goes out to you. Amy

I’ve always been a shy person in crowds, especially when I didn’t know many people. One year at mutual friends’ roast my shy side was in full force but Michael helped me come out of my shell, even though he probably didn’t know this. I didn’t know him well but I’ll always remember his kindness and sense of humor. So sad, too many lives lost. I know his son is in good hands and he has sooo many looking out for him, his daddy will be his guardian angel.  My prayers to all that are affected by his death, not that it will bring him back but hopefully might prevent some more loss. I pray you have found peace and those that love u can find peace, fly high buddy

Dear Mr and Mrs Barley, 
I feel your pain. I lost my son July 2015. Sending light , love, and prayers to you and all your family. Douglas is at peace now, flying high in the sky, no longer fighting a battle with drugs that has taken so many of our loved ones. They are free now and at peace with themselves, in the heavens above……..
