I offer my heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Michael Cranford, a US Marine. You have left this world a better place through your service to our country.
I have forwarded the notice of your passing to friends and received responses, one poignant note: "As I sit here with my computer on my lap reading this, I understand fully that without him and all our other American heroes, my life would be vastly different, if I had a life at all."
Thank you, Michael, for your service to our country. May God Bless and comfort your family and friends in this sad time.
Respectfully,
Tom Hoynes

You are truly a hero and your sacrifice will never be forgotten. Your mission on earth is complete. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the heroes who have passed before.

"There is no greater love", say the Lord, "than to lay down your life for a friend".
Thank you and God Bless you, Mr. Cranford, for being willing to do just that.

We had a request from the wife of Michael Cranford, USMC Vet. She sincerely appreciates and would like to personally thank everyone who responded for Mike. To those from the PGR that rode with us, she regrets that she did not have the opportunity to meet you and say thank you. I know if she could, she would thank every individual personally. God Bless and Take Care.

| Joyce, Clint and Tyrel,
No words can convey my sorrow over the loss of Mike. He is much more than an influence in my life. He is a cornerstone and a pillar.
Mike, You were the big brother I never had. I'll never forget. Thank you. Rich Patinsky |
