My deepest condolences to your family. This loss is unimaginable. Please know you are in the thoughts and prayers of your many friends and family. May God be with you. Sincerely, Anita (Ethridge) McFarland.
Thank you!!❤️
Joe, Angie, Joseph, Jordan, Ally, his beautiful children and all the family, our condolences are with all of you at this time. Michael will be remembered as a handsome young man with a breathtaking smile. He was always so kind to not just us, but more so to our children whom Miss Angie cared for. We remember times of coming to get the kids and Michael would be talking and interacting with them in such a caring and loving way that it made a life long memory in your minds and hearts. There will never be enough words to heal your pain and hearts, but as we all know our eternal life is not here on this planet and that we all will reunite with Michael again when it is our time. May this help give a little sense of peace in the future days to come to each of you. Your family has always been one of great strength and love to one another and Michael knew how much you all loved him as well as the love he had for each of you. May each of you continue to show the love you always have and more in memory of this great young man. Much love to you all always.
Thank you!!❤️
I am so sorry for your loss, words can not express how broken hearted I am and I can not even imagine the sadness and pain you are going through. Some of my favorite memories of Michael are when I use to have little pep talks with him to cheer him up because he would say he was fat and I would tell him that he wasn’t fat that he was just going through a chunky stage that a lot of boys go through at that age and I would always assure him that he would eventually out grow it and be the biggest knockout ever!!! His smile was priceless!! I can still see that beautiful boy when I think of him and talk about him. I always used him as an example to have those same talks with my son DeShawn who went through the same thing. And boy did they both grow up to be some of the most handsome guys I’ve ever laid eyes on!!! I love you all dearly and will be praying for y’all!💔😭
Thank you!!❤️
We are very sorry for your loss! Sending lots of love and prayers your way! ❤️
Thank you!!❤️
To Ms. Angie,
I’ll never forget when y’all moved here to greencastle in. Joseph was one of my best friend. Through the years as we all grow up I gotta say how beautiful your entire family is to me. I loved your momma dearly when I got to meet her at the nursing home. However , I can not even begin with any words to help ease your pain. I buried my baby 22 years ago and the only advice I can honestly give from a mother to a mother is keep your strength and let God do the rest! God bless your family and I’m praying for all y’all! Love you Ms. Angie ❤️
Thank you!!❤️
Angie, I am very sorry for your loss. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

My dear Angie and Joe, we will remember you always and that of Michael with a smile. You were so blessed to have Michael and he to have the two of you. My heart breaks. The parents love and the love of our Father is beyond understanding. You are so very much in our thoughts.
Thank you!!❤️
