To the Forgatch family:

I am very sorry to hear of Mike's passing.

I got to know Mike last fall when we frequently sat near each other during chemotherapy sessions at CCSF. I recently resumed chemo and when I asked the nurses about Mike they told me that he had passed.

Mike's strength was an inspiration to me during our long hours in the chemo chairs.

I'm sure you know this, but Mike was very grateful for his family and the support they gave him while he fought the good fight.

I wish you peace.
