Michael would like you to know….

I am person with a heart to give to whomever would take it. I like doing things for others especially elderly people. I felt good to know that I helped other people. I was someone who enjoyed all the family get-togethers, everyone happy and having fun. I want everyone to know that all I did experience in life meant a lot to me. I think I was funny at times too, like when I would do the dance “The Moist” it was funny how everyone would laugh. I also loved my precious babies, Jalopy and Pressure, my Basset Hound and Schnauzer. They were so neat and loved me no matter what I did, even if I left them home all day. The other things that I want everyone to know is my unconditional love for my life friend and closest family members who helped me become part of who I was. Overall, I was loving, caring, joyous, helpful, sympathetic, and loved by many.
