Michael’s Family
A Lasting Legacy
Ana
Michael truly believed Ana was his better half. Over their 40-plus year marriage, Ana made him feel like a truly blessed man. In his own words:
“I love Ana very much, and forever and always will. She is kind and patient, truly an amazing woman, a wonderful wife and a marvelous mother to our children.”
They had such a wonderful life together on earth. Michael and his wife are truly thankful for all the favors and blessings of God, through Jesus Christ.
There was nobody on earth Michael could have imagined himself with other than Ana. He could have filled the pages of another book with his thoughts on Ana. She completed him. She changed his life and always pushed him to be a better version of himself.
Ana is strong and independent. She is a woman of deep faith. I hope Ana knows that although my Spirit has left my body, we will see each other again. Until then, I pray you know that you were the love of my life. The greatest moments of my life extended from you, and our love.
Michael's Wife
Cassie
Michael and Ana had one daughter, Cassie. They are very proud of Cassie, and love her very much.
Cassie is married to Cody, who is a loving husband and father. Michael and Ana were also very proud of Cody.
Together, Cassie and Cody have three wonderful children. Hunter, Hudson and Hailey. Michael and Ana love each of them so very much. Hunter is a standout athlete, Hudson is a student council president and Hailey is a world-class gymnast and Cheerleading National Champion.
Michael and Ana loved visiting with Cassie, Cody and the grandkids, and always loved to support them in their activities. He will miss watching them continue to grow, but prays they know that he will always be there in Spirit.
Michael and Ana pray for Cassie, Cody and the kids daily, and are so thankful for all of the abundant blessings God and Jesus have provided.
Michael's Daughter
Michael's SonJosh
Michael and Ana also had one son, Josh. Josh is an exceptional young man and is spiritually aware. He is blessed, enjoys the favor of God and knows the teachings of Jesus.
Michael and Ana love Josh so very much. They expected great things from him, and they believed he delivered in so many ways. Josh has a successful career, assisted Michael in getting the Book of Life printed and helped him travel various places. You have made me proud.
Josh married Mariam, in Michigan. Mariam is an amazing woman full of empathy and understanding. Michael and Ana always noticed how Josh and Mariam always seem so happy when they are together, which is truly special.
Josh and Mariam brought us, Savannah, another grandchild. Savannah is sweet and excels in the arts. We also love her very much and are so proud of her.
Josh and Mariam also gave Michael another gift just a few short weeks ago, announcing Mariam was pregnant with their second child. Michael was so excited for this news and couldn’t wait to meet the baby.
