I know you don't know me very well, but I can almost feel what you are going through. For me too, family is one of the most valuable things in life that will just never go away. I pray for your entire family that God gives you strength, lessons to be learned, and most of all...I pray he gives you long lasting memories of your handsome and intelligent son, Michael. You will always be in my everyday prayers.

Don: Gina Repko told me about this and I want you to know how sorry I am to hear of your loss. It sounds very unexpected and the sadness is beyond words but you have a lot of friends and I'm sure support will come from all directions. Do remember that, Like me, you are a talented musician and I want to remind you that your music can be a great source of comfort as you try to handle this. I truly wish the best for you and your family. Take care! Jim Jennings.
