As one of Myles' former teachers, I got to know Myles and his family throughout the years he attended NCES. I was stunned to hear of Mr. Castain's passing. I remember his sense of humor and how much he loved his family. Never did a day go by that he did not check in with us, say hi, or see if there was anything he could do to help. While he may not still be in this world with us, he will forever be in our hearts and memories.
To Myles - Please know how much your dad loved you. Mrs. Nicholson and I love you and miss you. Please come visit us at NCES when you can. We are so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Mrs. Shelor, NCES

Mike has left a legacy of laughter and smiles in our family and for that we are eternally grateful for GOD allowing us to know him & his family. Rest on my friend, brother and member.

Remember
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

To Michael,
Our heart aches so much for you and you will truly be missed. It was unexpected; however God calls only the best home. We will meet someday, be able to laugh over tuna fish salad and fried chicken(one of your favorite meals). We will be able to laugh again and tease each other about the past. To my nephews: Please know that we will step in your father's absence and do all we can for you. Michael adored his children and would give the world to them. I pray for God's shielded protection as you grow without him on earth. He will forever live in your heart and look down from heaven upon you. To My Family: Know that tomorrow is not promise to anyone. God's promise was to never leave us or forsake us; we have to rely on Him to take us through. Moma, your first born is gone but will never be forgotten. We have to allow his memories to strengthen as we move forward. Thanks to all who have shown love and supported the Castain and Gadsden families through this difficult time. Let's us now rejoice because my brother is in a better place! Good Night Michael. Never goodbye because we will meet again someday!
I WILL LOVE YOU ALWAYS-your lil sister!!
