I was saddened to read of Michael's passing. In times like this, our faith may be shaken. I pray that each member of the Garlington family realizes that our God does not make mistakes in choosing "who and when" he brings to his Heavenly Kingdom. Michael's earthly pain and suffering is over and he is now reunited with his Heavenly family. I pray that our Biblical teachings will help minimize your grief and comfort you with the assurance that Michael is in a better place, looking down from life eternal.
God Bless

I truly believe that Jr. took Michael by the hand and escorted him to Heaven. Rest in Paradise, Michael.
To all of the Garlington Family, my heart is heavy. Michael & Jr. were 2 people from my childhood that ALWAYS had hearts of gold. I pray that the memories will help ease your loss. God Bless.

My uncle Michael was the smoothest man that I know. He was such a wonderful Uncle. He was as protective as he was loving. My memories of him are nothing but wonderful memories that I will forever treasure. I will always keep your memory and tell my children about the "smoothest" Garlington. I love you Uncle Mike!

To the entire Garlington Families..
Gone too soon from this earthly place but God saw Michael getting tired. You may weep in the night but joy comes in the morning. It is with great sadness to let him go but now he is is with the angels above and he will watch over us. There is no more pain and sufferings there he is at peace, he fought a good fight and his race was won. We are praying for strength during this time of bereavement. May his soul rest in peace. He was a sweet spirit and we are happy to have known him.
