For the same reason as Marley W, I also had to watch a video for college that you were in and had wanted to see where you were in your journey, I hope the future becomes brighter for continuous research of CF this way no one will have to go through what you had to. I am so sorry for the family and loved ones.

I never met you, but one of my assignments in class had us watch a video that you made an appearance in. I was intrigued and wanted to know more of your story, this is what I found. I hope your family is doing well, and I hope you know that you will not be forgotten as college kids like me are watching your story.

I miss Michael terribly and think of him often. I met him at the beginning of adulthood - now 31 and older than he was, I find myself relating to him in ways my younger self just could not. I deeply wish we could have walked through life together. He will always have a place in my heart and I hope to see him again. My continued condolences to his family. You raised a great soul.

To Peter & family, I am so sad to hear of the passing of Michael. It was always a pleasure to see him when he would come & visit after his school day to grab a snack at the cafeteria & wait for you to drive him home. I enjoyed getting to know him & have thought about him over the years. My heart goes out to you & your family.

Mike you had the unenviable job of herding cats whilst working with the Af-Pak fellows at the Carr Center. You always did it with humor and panache. It was a great pleasure to know you - you left your mark and your warmth and intellect will be much missed. Deepest Sympathy to your family.

Michael,
It breaks my heart I am not home during this time to say goodbye. I couldn't be more thankful that my last memory with you was such a wonderful time, all organized by you to ensure our family was able to get together before I left to go overseas. Your constant thoughts and care for others contributed to your unique and selfless personality. You are truly an inspiration, your fight and will power for life is something I shall always remember about you. Cousin’s dinners, ski trips and our numerous holiday celebrations will hold a near spot in my heart and bring a smile to my face when thinking of the times I spent with you throughout the years. Uncle G and Aunt Janet, I pray for you and wish more than anything that I was able to be with you and our family during this time, but please know how much I am thinking of you all. Keep smiling and watch over us, you will be forever missed and loved Mike.
