Mike and I have known eachother for a long time.I am very sorry to hear the news and i just wanted to say i am sorry. My prayer is with all of you.

I knew Mike from school. He was shy but very polite and though we hardly spoke with each other I could tell he had a heart of gold. I just wanted to express how very sorry to hear about your loss. It's not easy by far to lose someone so close to you, so young and so short of notice...this I know. It's something I still battle with almost 4 yrs. later. It's a very hard journey for family and friends when someone is taken from you so suddenly. It hurts so deep that you don't ever think the pain will go away. Time can heal wounds, though time will never forget your son, your brother, your friend.

But you will smile again, you will live life now with more value than ever and cherish every minute and every second of it for someone who didn't get that chance. Life has to move on and you do it for them.

God has a plan for all of us and he made Mike's path short. May he rest in peace and continue his journey in heaven where you will be reunited when the time has come. Do not mourn his death, but rejoice in his life here with you and anticipate the day you will meet again. My heart and prayers are with you, your family, and all of his friends that truly knew Michael. You will prevail through this trying time and keep him in your hearts forever.

Allen,Michell and Meghan,
We were all so shocked to hear of Michael's death. Michael as well as all of you were and are a warm and wonderful part of our lives. We are very sorry for your loss. Michael will always be in our hearts, and our memories. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family. Michael was a sweet person and he will be greatly missed.

I just want to say how sorry I am for your loss. When I heard about Michael I couldnt believe it. He was a great kid, student and friend. I graduated with Michael. He was quite, nice and friendly to anyone. You and your family will be in my prayers in this time of need. I know you are in a better place now.

I am very sorry to hear about Michael's death. He was my best friend and I will never forget the love he showed me for the two years he was in my life. Everyone who knew him felt the kindness and generousity he exuded effortlessly. He truly was a good man, and my heart aches everytime I think of not being able to hear his voice asking me how my day went. To his parents: you raised such a polite, kindhearted person, and no one can ever take away the memories you have of him. To his sister: I know that Michael may have not said it as much as you'd like, but he loved you very much. He was protective of his little sister. My parents, grandparents, aunts, cousins, friends, even my dog loved Michael more than words can say. He will be forever in our hearts, and not a day will go by that I don't look up to the sky and talk to him. Again, my condolences go out to the Pulley family. May God be with you through this trying time.

I graduated with Mike and am very shocked and sadened to hear about the news. I really don't know what to say in a time like this. Just that the family will be in my prayers.

Michell and Allen,
My deepest sympathy for your loss of Michael.
I pray for comfort and peace for you both and your family during this time.

Chell- I know it's been years since we've spoken or got to see each other. I hope if you can when things settle down,you can email me so we can catch up. I'm living in Florida,don't get to Virginia to often due to work.

Christine McGhee Cole & Family
