Not sure what to say?

My condolences to Mike's family. After I heard of his passing, my thoughts went back to childhood and all of us kids in the old neighborhood. All we did together in such a simpler time. We have all grown up and went down different roads but I just want you to know you are in thoughts. I wish for healing of your hearts and spirits. Love Prid

I can't say how sorry I am to hear about "Mikes" passing and wish to convey my condolences to the Ellman family. While I had more interaction with Pete, I did share the stage with Mike when he was a member of the Naperville Municipal Band and saw him at Ellman's Music Center. My son worked at EMC and he got to know Mike as well. May you be comforted in this time of loss.
