Mike, Randi, family and friends. I am so sorry to hear of Michael's passing. Words cannot express my feelings of grief and pain for all of you. While I did not know Michael real well, he was most certainly a good looking young man. I was more than pleased to read that he was a church goer. I will be praying for strength for all of you in the coming days and beyond. Love, Coach Reid
