    Antoine , Shirley and family you have my deepest sympathy. You are cared about so very much at this time of loss. Love is stronger than death even though it can’t stop death from happening , but no matter how hard death tries it can’t separate people from love. It can’t take away our memories either. In the end, life is stronger than death. It is very hard for me to accept and embrace the loss of Michael. He was very special to me and we will all miss him. I know this is a very difficult time for you and I wish that I could ease your pain. I can tell you that time does ease the pain. I am here for you and offer my shoulder to lean on and my spirit to pray for you. Love, Aunt Louise and Uncle Willie and Family

    Antoine, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers! As humans, this is difficult but God will sustain and carry you through this difficult time. Seek Him as a refuse during this time for as Matthew 5:4 says “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted!” God is your comforter and He will never leave nor forsake you! Know that you have caring co-workers that are here for you!

    I am sadden to learn of this. I never saw anything less than a smile or hear nothing but laughter from Mike. He will surely be missed. May God bless and keep us all that have heavy hearts from such a great loss.
