Kathleen and family,
George, Robby, Sari and I wish to express our deepest sympathies to you all. Kathleen, you are such an awesome mother…it is always so evident in any conversations that we have, just how much each and every one of your kids
means to you.  They are so very lucky to have you…I hope to God that you can find in some way peace within your heart and cherish all of your memories of the life you shared with Micah.  Micah has left this earth but has joined  his father and grandfather in Heaven, may you find comfort in that.  I love you dearly and am here for you!

Kathleen & family:
   I am sorry for your loss of this wonderful, talented, kind young man.  I will remember most Micah’s love for playing guitar.  My boys were in Micah’s class at LMH and were inspired by his love for music.  We will miss him. 
With sincere sympathy and prayers,

Micah, we just met and all I saw in you was this beautiful person inside and out.
May you rest in peace. You have touched so many lives, your family at Isaacs are at a loss for words.  God Bless, fly high.  Until we meet again , may God hold you in the palm of his hands.

Warfel was a good guy.  He was my roommate last month at drill, we went out to eat together got wings and he seemed to be a pretty happy person.  Myself as well as the rest of the 365th Engineer Battalion extend our greatest condolences to the family of Micah.  We are deeply saddened that his family had to succumb to this loss.  The United States Army lost a good soldier, as well as a person.
