    Michael I don’t know where I could start. I am so sorry we can’t have you physically anymore. I just know you are so much better and I know when you took your last breath at home and made your first step in heaven Papa Gaddis, Aunt Mary and Aunt Connie were right there waiting! I bet you instantly had a breakdancing session scheduled! Mama Gaddis is so heartbroken because she knows you kept asking when she was coming home and she was in the hospital and didn’t get back home before you were gone. But she knows as well as the rest of us that with your health that you are now pain free and no more health issues. She still hasn’t been home and has told me she doesn’t think she can walk back into the house knowing you’re not there. We know there’s no better place for you to be. I came across some brochures I had and thought about you and it broke my heart even more. I don’t know what I will do when I take another trip or drive and stop in the rest areas and not have armloads of brochures to bring home to you even though most of the ones I picked up that you already had but that was okay with you. I will never forget your excitement when me and Jeremy, your Mom and Mama drove to Florida and drove straight through Atlanta so you could see all the tall buildings. And we went to the ocean and everywhere we went you were so excited. We just know we have another precious angel to watch over us and we will see you again and you can show us the beauty of heaven. And you will know Mama is home! We miss you every minute of the day and can’t wait for our reunion! You will never be forgotten. So much love for you always ❤ Aunt Becky

    Miss Joyce, hugs and prayers sent to you! You know your sweet Mikey brought joy to many people in Mitchell and there will never be another him! From summers at the pool to entertaining by the library, Mikey was always smiling and ready to make a friend. He had a beautiful heart, smile, and character. Thank you for sharing him with all of us for so long! I'll miss walking by your house for exercise and him waving from the porch. 💙 Words will never be enough to ease your heart. Prayers for comfort for you! We'll see him again!
