Words alone aren't enough to express how sorry we are for your loss. Your husband was very lucky to have you as his devoted wife, taking care of him for so many years. We have been thinking of your family often during these past few months. I'm so sorry that we could not be there for the memorial service. As you know, the 4th graders had their first guitar recital that night. Alisa played Hot Cross Buns perfectly! Please accept condolences from the entire Wolfson famly.

Diane, I just learned today of Micah's passing. What a special man he was. I remember with such joy the love and attention he brought to our children in the preschool classroom at Burton. I will hold him and you in my heart.

Diane and family - my deepest sympathy for you on Micah's passing. Micah was my supervisor at OSI for many years. I have often told people that he was the best boss I ever had. My prayers are with you. He was a wonderful person to have known.

How very sad I was to read, this morning, of Mike's passing. In 1958 he brought me so much happiness as a member of the Greenview Band. As his director, I looked forward to seeing his smiling face in the trumpet section each day and never once was I disappointed. Please know that you have my deepest sympathy.
