So sorry for you loss. Lovely tribute. May the Lord grant you peace during this difficult time. He was definitely a “cooler” older cousin!

So sad to hear of Michael’s passing. We had so many good times at Jekyll Island when we had family reunions in the summer when we were growing up. He was a lot of fun. You will be missed, Michael. Rest in peace, cousin. ❤️
