Baby Bro:
Just ain’t easy with you not being physically around anymore, but I just have to hold on to the Hope of seeing you again in Glory at the appointed time. We have shared so much together since the days of our youth words can not express the pain I feel and will forever feel. Surely you are in a Better place and like I said earlier in my prayers, it’s your turn to play Big Bro. cause I am looking up to you just now…You will be forever in heart, thoughts and Prayers. I will do my all to ensure your children are raised up in the way of the Lord and I know that is the way you would desire for them to go. I love you! And until we meet again on Greener Pastures, may your soul be in Perfect Peace. See you down the line!!!!
Much Love,
Big Bro.

Monica WilliamsGaston says
To Vernon, Sylvia, Vernon, Jr., and family,
My deepest sympathies on Michael’s passing and the void you feel in his going, and a joyful gratitude that he is with our Lord and now living his eternal destiny in the presence of our Father.
I remember Michael’s kind and gentle spirit as a boy, believing in the best in people. The Michael I remember was ever forgiving and was truly a peacemaker at heart.
It is so good to know that someone now lives because of his kind heart and that he lives on in the lives of people who don’t know him, but have been blessed by his generous spirit.
I pray for God’s comfort for you and His strong presence and abundant grace on Michael’s children especially.
I have missed him for years and now can look forward to seeing him when I get Home.
Peace and blessings,
Monica

I know that asthma is no longer an issue for u and that u r truly in a better place, until we meet again I will forever miss u CuZ!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vernon LMiles Jr says
Hey Baby Bro.
Going home next week and will be heading to Indy for the 4th of July. It will be a bit ruff knowing that I will not be able to see you there as always. I have found that nothing can replace the absence of you in my life, but I just hold on to Lord Jesus Christ in all. Like you said before you departed” To Live is Christ and to die is to gain in Him.” I know you are a Peace with Christ and I, even though missing you dearly will continue to live for Him until I can join you again someday on the other side with Christ. I love you Baby Bro…
Big Bro.
Edward Adair says
I’m late in finding this out. But, Mike, cuz, you were such a inspiration to me. Yeah, you were younger than me. But, when I would doubt myself you were there to tell me that I had to keep striving. When my dad passed, you reminded me that my dad was so much within me because of my gift of sharing, helping, teaching, and more. I enjoyed our talks about Christ. I would call to encourage but it would become flipped because that was how you were. Mike I will miss you “Cuz”. I thank you so much. RIP CUZIN!!
Gwendolyn Williams says
I just want to share my deepest sympathy with Michael’s family. We all mourn his loss.
