Dear family’
I am very sorry to hear about Michael’s passing. My mom and I remember my preschool days with Michael at United cerebral palsy. Both of our moms hung out in the kitchen with all the other preschool moms during school. I last saw him at camp cheerful many moons ago. My sympathy and condolences go out to all of you but especially to his mom and his lovely wife. May you forever cherish the memories of him that will last a lifetime.
