What great neighbors the Byrds are and have been since we moved across the road from them.  They were the first people we met, and they have been good friends since.  I will miss walking over and talking to Mike as he worked on his lawnmower or that old truck.  He would always say, ' Hello neighbor' and he was that. Our neighbor, and we will miss him. 
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Shirley and Chad.  Remember, we are always just a few yards away if you need anything.  
You have always been there for us, and we will do the same.
Carroll and Kathy

What a kind and loving person was Mike.
Always with that ever present smile and larger than life personality! How my mother and dad loved Mike, as we all still love Shirley Sue and Chad.
End of life journeys are never easy, but you Shirley Sue and you Chad, handled it with the grace and strength given us by God.  
Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Moving forward. look to God. He will strengthen you and provide all your needs.

Michael Scott and his Uncle Michael! He didn’t even mind letting him ride his 3 wheeler! We loved Michael so much and appreciated his loving influence on my son! Praying peace and comfort over Shirley and Chad in the coming days! You are both loved beyond words!

We are carrying Shirley Sue and Chad in our hearts. We loved Mike! He was a rabid TU fan (Gig ‘em)! But we still loved him! His joy illuminated a room. His love for his family endeared him to us. Big, tight hugs for y’all today and always. We love y’all so much! Prayers continue. 1Peter 5:10 ♥️♥️♥️ Al and Sharon Montague Kiely and family ♥️♥️♥️
