Dear Momma Shepherd

I’m so grateful I had the opportunity to meet your son, God’s gentle giant Michael.
I’m praying your strength and sending you love and healing during the approach of Michael’s birthday!

Momma Ernie keep looking up to the hills from where your help comes from…knowing that all of your help comes from the Lord! Psalms 121

I love you

Gone way to soon. You were the pride and joy and the apple of everyone eyes just like your father. You truly will be missed by all who loved and respected you. RIP my friend.

Mr. Mike you were one of a kind my friend. From our conversations about cars to the days you would pass me while I was sitting at the entrance to the cemetery. I will always remember what you told me when I first started "If you can't fit it in the door put it on the floor". Rest easy my friend we'll take it from here.

You were one of kind , it’s strange for you not sitting across from me and us talking about music and guitars.

My dear handsome brother, I still can't believe you are gone. I still don't understand why God took you home. Thank you for being such am awesome big brother, thank you for accepting me and sharing mommy with me. Thank you for showing the love of a big brother. You were the brother I always dreamed of. I know I will see you again in heaven. SIP my brother. Love your "sexy little sister" as you would alelwys call me.

I worked with Mr Mike for 5 years. I never met a more kind person. He never had an ill word about anyone. He always bragged about his mother and family. You will be sorely missed!!! Sleep Well Mike you deserve it!!

I am very sorry for your loss. I pray for peace for you during this difficult time.

Mike it was always a pleasure to work with you have some casual conversations about our shared passion of Corvettes and high performance cars. I will always remember your calming demeanor and outstanding work ethic. You will be missed by anyone that was lucky enough to have known you.

Our deepest prayers and condolences go out to you and the family for your loss.

We extend our deepest sympathies to you and your family. May the soul of your son, Michael, be at peace with our Heavenly Father.
