I love you Michael Anthony. How many times have I heard your mother yell that name throughout the years? At least a zillion.
If there are cars in heaven I know you’re either working on one or burning rubber on those streets of gold.
Rest in peace my friend..until we meet again.
I am so sad. Mike I will never forget that great laugh and beautiful smile Rest In Peace you will be missed. Your sister-in-law Sharon
I’m very sorry for your loss. I’m praying for peace and strength during this difficult time. I just wanted to share Gods promises in Revelation 21:3-4 “ when pain and death will be no more”. Again my condolences.
Thank you so much for the kind words to Michaels family! It is so comforting to hear what a good friend he was to you, I am Irenes sister and have lived out of state for many years, so missed out on most all things with family. I know your kind words will mean so much to all of Mikes family!!
I can’t remember not knowing Mike and his family. Before first grade we played and thru out our lives we’ve stayed somewhat in touch, but not like we should. I am grateful to have known him. May our paths cross on the other side of the veil. Love to Irene and prayers for the family.
Mike and I grew up together and although we had gone years without talking or seeing one another he stopped by the house right after my Mom died and let me know he was living back with his Mom taking care of her. We picked up talking like we had never been apart. Mike was a lifetime friend for me. He was always there if you needed a favor. He will be greatly missed in my life. I am sending positive energy and prayers to Irene, Eddie and Family for comfort and healing during this difficult time. My Deepest Condolences
I believe my father worked with Michael’s father, Edward Blake. If I’m correct, Michael came to my father’s funeral and that meant so much to us. My Dad and his dad were very close working together. I’m very sad to see he has passed so young as I also lost my brother at 45. Sincere sympathies to your family.
Was your father Lewis Taylor?
My deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences for Michael’s family and friends. Losing someone we love is truly heartbreaking. I want to take a moment and share something that has given me much personal comfort and hope. It is the scriptural promise at Daniel 12:2 “And many of those asleep in the dust of the earth will wake up, some to everlasting life.” Losing a loved one in death is not the end, we have a beautiful hope just ahead. How we long to see them again and be reunited forever.
