Our deepest sympathy to you Archie and Fiona. Michael was such sweet young man and always had a smile on his face. We will miss him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Dear Archie & Fiona: No one better than God, understands the depth of your pain and can help you cope with your disquieting thoughts. He is called the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort and he cares for you. The Bible describes a time in the future when all mankind will not be subject to accidents, sickness, and death. Jehovah God promised that soon, he will "wipe out every tear from our eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore." (Psalm 37:29; Revelation 21:4) Until then, may you receive God’s peace that excels all thought, so that it will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus as you reminisce happy memories of Michael and other loved ones.

~ Claire Jospitre

My deepest sympathies are with you Archie and Fiona. Michael was truly a special spirit and I feel so blessed that I had the privilege to meet him and your family. His strength and determination through everything is an inspiration and a reminder life can amaze us. I'm sure that there is a greater plan for him and his contagious smile.

Archie and Fiona, my sincere condolences on your loss. While I haven't had the privilege of seeing either of you or Michael for several years now as I've grown up and moved away from London, how the Cairns family is doing has been important to my family throughout my childhood into adulthood. All of you mean a very great deal to my father and the rest of the Potters. I hope you have found comfort and support during this time. I know Michael will be dearly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.

Archie and Fiona, I will always remember the way Michael and Brad would make faces at each other, his wonderful smile (he lit up the entire room) and his millions of girlfriends. He was quite the ladies man! Another thing I will never forget is the many times he fired you Fiona. Michael was a light that was extinguished much too soon.

~ Karen Dennis

Thinking of you Fiona & Archie. Relish the joy he brought to your life. Your devotion to him is a testament to the lives you shared and the man you helped him become. It was an honour to care for him and get to know you.

Archie and Fiona, my heart goes out to you. I will miss Michael, and miss him shooting me each time you all came to Silvercity, and miss those terrific shirts of his. He made my day each and every time. Rest in peace, Michael!

Archie and Fiona, I'm so sorry to hear of Michael's passing. Thank you so much for making Pizza Hut, and our staff, part of your family life. Every time I heard about a new t-shirt, the newest movie, or was treated to a side hug, I felt honoured to share in Michael's enthusiasm, and downright lucky to have him share an occasional hug. He was a special soul, and I'm thinking of you both during this time. May he rest in peace.

Archie and Fiona. My heartfelt condolences to you both. I was so saddened to hear this news this morning. Although I was not Michael's first choice for a dance partner.

God Bless you both.
