Rhonda,Frank and Warren

I want to send my condolences to you and tell you that I know how you feel because I lost my other son when he was 14 in 1989. I know it is hard for you now, but always remember the time you had with him and cherish it. Michael is being taken care of now just as my son Chris is.

Love,

Hi,
I rode Micheal's bus through out his life and I got to know him through the bus and there where times we didnt agree but then there where the good times... Mr.Poirier I am the one who complained that Micheal put gum in my hair...
I pray that you all will get through this and that God's lesson will be learned from everything that has occured this past week... I pray that you as a family will get through this and be stronger than you were before... Micheal was a great guy that would make me laugh by saying small things here and there and it is hard that he is gone but a part of him still live on through each one of us that knew him the part that we saw of him and our memories with him... Micheal will live on and he will be with us daily. Through out these next few days it will be hard on you as the family and us as the students but i know that we will get through it and remeber him in our difrent ways...
Stay strong
Love always,
Sarah H.

Frank, Rhonda, and Warren, as i sit here this is the hardest thing in the world to do, trying to get ready, and knowing how much pain you all are in, and that there is nothing we can say to make things better or easier. Please know that our prayers are with you and we are always here day or night, for whatever you need. ball season will not be the same, and as i look at the pictures from last year, i just cant believe it.
take care,

love always,
peggy, johnny and travis
