Dearest Marilyn and Family,

We are truly sharing your loss. May beautiful and cherished memories of Mike always comfort and inspire you.

We are thinking of all of you and sending our love at this very sad time.

Dear Marilyn, John and Richard--

Our deepest condolences to all of you on this sad occasion. Mike was a great guy and will be missed by all. I am sorry I was unable to attend the funeral but was out of town. I have many fond memories of Mike, none greater than the private "swearing in" ceremony he performed in chambers, when I passed the bar. With love, Jay Rothlein and family

Dear Marilyn
I was so sorry to hear of Mike's death. What an elegant man. I wish you and your family comfort in your grief. To Life! Love, Ellen

This is Alan Greenfield again.
I will be in Orlando this weekend on pre-scheduled business. Unfortunately I will miss the funeral.
When and where are you sitting Shiva? I imagine that the advent of the holidays requires changes to the traditional time for sitting.
Please respond with the requested infomation
Sincerely

I was privileged to be one of Judge Salmons research assistants (1985/86). His intellectual curiousity was boundless. As both a judge and an individual, he was kind and caring. The example he showed me of how a person should act individually and in the legal profession will follow me throughout the rest of my life.

My deepest sympathy. Mike was a quality guy in every respect, and he will be sorely missed.

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

We were deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Judge Michael Salmon.
Judge Salmon was one of the finest jurists we have ever had. Always fair, always maticulous and just a great friend to all of us here in the 11th. If you asked him a question, you got an answer along with a personal story of his that would explain his answer. He was loved by everyone, and he will be sorely missed.
