I, like Antoine, am so sad I cant make it to the funeral. I wish I could be there to see you one last time. I wish I could have been in Cleveland any of the last few times you were there. I enjoyed talking to you, you always found the fun in just sitting around not doing much. You left behind a lot of people that love you very much, many lives have been impacted by your life, words, and company. I am comforted knowing you are in a better place now.

I am so sad that I can not make the funeral, but I am comforted by the word of our Savior when he said "I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die." I know their is no sorrow on earth that heaven can't heal. So unc, we know you are in a better place and we will miss you.

Michael you will always be remembered by me for your sense of humor. I know that you always told Gheria that she would be a basketball star one day I just wish that you would have been here to see her make it but I am sure you will be looking from up above. You may be gone but not forgotten.

Know that God is always with you even at a time like this in the lost of your loved one. I'm glad that I had the opportunity to know Michael and considered him like a brother. I will miss him, but I know to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord and Michael is in a better place; no more suffering and no more pain, but he is at rest. I remember the saying "Until we meet again" and Michael will see Dave Ivy II (his Daddy) so i know that he has made is heavenly journey home and he will remain with us in our hearts forever.
