So sorry for your loss. Michael, Buster, Lee were neighbors for most of our teen years I thought the world of Michael, Lee as well, Buster was a little older than us. I'm thankful for Michael's service in the military. A big part of the neighborhood, Rose St., Dale St., W. Allen St., Whitted St., and Spring St. is now laid to rest. Michael and Lee spent alot of time at our house....they LOVED my Grandmother, they loved her cooking...also...they would bring their newspapers to the house to seperate before going on their newspaper routes. That was a LONG time ago. I'm thankful to have known Michael through the years. God's comfort and peace to you the family, in Jesus Name. Amen
