Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry Mary Lou for the passing of your husband, Michael. I knew Michael when we went to grade school at St. Hyacinths School. That was a long time ago but I do remember him being friendly to others and always had a smile on his face! God Bless you & help you cope during this very sad and difficult time.

MaryLou - Sending hugs & prayers for you & your family. Mike was an extraordinary guy. I enjoyed the time we worked together. I wish it would have been longer. I still remember the great time at the HBA summer conference. It's one of my most cherished memories. With love,
