Pennie Wessels wrote a sympathy message

“Michael was so very special, and not just to me, but to the hundreds he helped as my legislative aide. He was always compassionate, thorough, precise, diligent in working through the bureaucracy for constituents. He will live gently in my heart all of my days. I'm sorry I can't be with you at the reception Saturday, but I will contribute in his honor and memory to the Henry County Humane Society. The Humane Society, like Michael, speaks for the voiceless. Hugs to his loved ones.”
