We are so sorry for your loss, it is so hard to believe..... May he rest in peace......

My sincerest condolences on your loss. Mike's enthusiasm and friendship will be missed greatly. His was a subtle gift that will remain with me for a lifetime. You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this tragic time.

I am so sorry about the loss of Mike. I was also his pledge brother at B.U. so we went through a lot together during our last 3 years of college. I also saw him in Boston again last year and while his appearance had changed dramatically, his was still in great spirits- I left hoping Mike could beat the monster he was dealing with but know how powerful it is...In the bottom of my heart I'll never forget Mike for his constant energy, enthusiasm and sense of humor.

Dear Al and Harriet,

Mike was my best friend at Boston University. We shared so many experiences and so many emotions it is hard to put into words here. Take solace in that he always wanted to make people happy, make them laugh and pick them up. He was my Fraternity Brother and roomate, confidante and nemesis. He was generous and kind, artistic and original. I loved him as a brother and will always hold his memory dear in my heart. My condolonces to your family, please know...

Michael was a spirit when he was alive. Full of life and bright thoughts he gladly offered insight that helped open my eyes to the world and for that I am greatful. We must continuously appreciate the beauty in this world. The beauty in a tear, the beauty in a person, the beauty in a moment and of a memory. Never forget that twinkle of excitment in Michaels eyes, for Michael is a spirit. Michael has survived.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family. May G-d bless you and your family and help to ease the pain you are suffering.

With heartfelt sympathy.
