She narrated how a new friend of hers, Luke McJannet, who owned racehorses, had given her a lovely gift by allowing her to name his newest horse. She wrote:
"I chose the name Mikhael after my sweet son Michael. The Hebrew spelling of the name Mikhael means who is like God or Godly."

Marie added:
"I mean they are horrendous, and I never took action against. But I can tell you, honestly, I believe that was a big component in him just feeling overwhelmed and that he didn't fit in. I never took action against the three kids. I know who they are."
May Michael's soul continue to rest peacefully, just as his memory continues to live in the hearts of his mother, family, and friends.
