Michael was not only my classmate, but he was also my neighbor and friend. We shared many classes together while in school and we also shared our love for the Lord as adults. I am so glad we had the opportunity to reconnect as children of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. Michael truly loved his family and he had such a big heart for his community. He will never be forgotten and my thoughts and prayers are with his wife Sheila and his natural family as well as his spiritual family. Rest In Peace Michael you will be missed.

Shelia;
May the Lord shower you with his love, and strengthen you at this difficult time. My prayers are with you and your family. Memory: His vision to organize and plan the “Class of 1973 Black Prom” held at the Ramada Inn w/the “Train Robber Band” 
What an amazing night!!!
Blessings Love and Peace 🙏🏽💙🙏🏽

Michael hear about me having a stroke. So he gave me a call, we talked about how I was feeling. We set up a time and date that he would come over.
We sat outside and talked about his experiences after his stroke. His feelings and emotional state. 
He encouraged me to look forward, not back.  That I could over come this learning experience.
We were supposed to meet again, but circumstances didn’t allow that meeting.
I appreciated his words and was saddened to hear about his transition.
We pray for his wife and family.

One word that characterizes Michael is the word "steadfast"!
Added significantly, the thought: "perseverant" ""courageous", has to be an additional  accurate word of Truth! 
   May Peace & Passion & Power remain in this household and ministries.
  " A TRUE FAMILY OF PRAISE!!"
    Love and joy  forever..
     His (Jesus & Michael's) legacy of love will sustain and remain! Forever!
