I'm so sorry to hear about Michael's passing. My mom told me about it over the weekend and read me the obituary. I remember how nice he was to me when I used to come visit the 19th St. store when I was in college.
You all are in my prayers.
With love,

My deepest sorrow on the loss of Michael. We went to St. Austin's and McCallum High School together and missed seeing him at the reunion on June 20. My prayers for all the family and your loss.

DEAR BERNIE,
WHEN WE RETURNED TO AUSTIN WE WERE SO DEEPLY SORRY TO READ OF MICHAEL'S DEATH. MERE WORDS ARE TOTALLY INADEQUATE UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES, BUT WE DID WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE IN OUR THOUGHTS AND AS LONG TIME FRIENDS WISH WE COULD DO MORE THAN SIMPLY SAY HOW REGRETFUL THAT YOU HAVE BEEN VISITED WITH ANOTHER SO PERSONAL AND TRAGIC LOSS.
SINCERELY AND WITH LOVE

I am so sorry to hear of Mike's passing.
Of what I remember back many years ago when I worked for his wife at Belding Flowers, he was a great guy. Always kind to me as was the whole Hillen family.
My deepest sympathy.

We lived next door to Mike on Mustang Chase for 17 years. We especially enjoyed watching him with his pigeons. He would personally deliver flowers when needed. He was a good neighbor. May God bless and comfort his family.

I worked for Michael during the mid 80's. He was a kind, creative, patient soul. My deepest sympathy goes out to his family and friends at this time.
