It was with great sadness that I heard of the loss of your Michael. I imagine there is no pain more far-reaching and deeper than losing a child and a brother. No one can prepare you for a loss; it comes like a swift wind. Please accept my condolences, and don't hesitate to reach out, especially during this difficult time. You are in my thoughts and prayers. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and your family.

Dear Jim, Lisa, Matt, Don't know what to say or how to say it. Sad for you and us. Sad for how Mike and you all suffered; comforted that his trial is over and is now strond and happy in the presence of God. He has achieved his Goal; and perhaps he has been blessed with the knowledge of "why". Hopeful that he can somehow share some of that with you. Prayers and love , Carol McC
