Michael,
I remember we were neighbors in elementary school. I would sometimes overnight at your place, we'd camp out in your back yard in grade 6. Like so many others, you left us far to soon and far too young. I am very proud to have known you and for your ultimate sacrifice to God and Country.
Sandra Gerard (Strauser)
Thank you for your service to our country. So sad you had to die at such a young age. You were just beginning to live your life. Bless you.
