To the family
Words can’t express My Deepest Condolences To You all right now. Anything You need I Am Here.
#FlyHigh. MIKE… Until we Meet again.
Love Always, Alma.

Rest easy my friend,

I knew Michael only a short time as I grew up as Jamie’s best friend. Although he was always “Jamie’s older brother,” I have nothing but funny & great memories of him. Over the years, I would somewhat keep up with him through Jamie, & she always spoke the absolute best of him. A sister that truly loved her brother, & always will.
To his children:
I am so very sorry for the loss of your father. Aniyah, I just recently met you, & your beauty & kind spirit blew me away. Keep going, girl. Your daddy is already proud of you. To Aidan & Zyhire, I haven’t been able to meet you two, but I’m sure you both are just as incredible. Grieve, but keep your head up. Take your time, but do great things. Your dad will always be with you. Please don’t ever forget that.
To his family,
I would say “I can’t imagine what you’re going through,” but unfortunately I do. They say time heals all wounds, but grief has no timeline. Take the time you need. Take care of & lean on one another like never before. That’s where you’ll find your strength each & every day. Life will never be the same, but you still have one another & a lifetime of memories with Michael to hold near to your heart.
“The only scars in Heaven, they won’t belong to me and you
There’ll be no such thing as broken, and all the old will be made new
And the thought that makes me smile now, even as the tears fall down
Is that the only scars in Heaven are on the hands that hold you now.”

Love Always, Fee
Just rest comfortably in the fact that those beautiful children you blessed this world with will NEVER know a shortage of love. I have their back just as you’ve always had mine. Rest in Power!
My Condolences To Michael’s Family and His Children. Mike, I didn’t get the chance to say goodbye to you and how I enjoyed knowing you. May you Rest In Peace Always. Rest Easy Mike. Gwen Alleyne.

Yesterday marked a month and I’m still in disbelief. I wake up in the middle of some nights, reaching for my phone to text you since that’s always been the norm whenever I couldn’t sleep. And then it hits me…you’re no longer here to keep me company on sleepless nights. My friend is gone.
In the beginning, I cried myself back to sleep. Now, I just talk aloud or look at old pictures of you, reliving memories…hoping you hear me. “The Boy” had been a great help too! Thank you for always being my friend and for our amazing and thoughtful son, who puts his own grief aside to comfort those around him. I’ve always said he was the best parts of both of us and cleary, he’s got that from you. I’m not that nice. 🙂
I miss you, Joseph
