To The Avery/Monteiro Family,
I wasn't one of Michael's friends, instead I was his little sister's Teacher when she attended Headstart. It was great to see her face when her Big Brother would walk in to the classroom and pick her up at the end of the day. His bond with her was special !! I send my prayers to you all, as I'm sure he will be missed very much !!
