Not sure what to say?

Hello,
I knew Mike at Menlo School, and recognized how unique and special he was. It is truly a loss, not just for those of us who knew him, but for society at large, who would have/did benefit so much from his remarkable contributions.

Mike, I miss you; I'm not ready for you to be gone. Thanks for everything. You were a brilliant, blinding light in the world.

Michael's love of learning was an inspiration to me through both elementary school at St. Joseph's and high school at Menlo. It was truly a joy to know him.

I wanted to express my deep sympathy for your loss. I went to college with your mother, Deb. Our parents were good friends and regularly played bridge together (Ord & Burwell, NE).

My deepest sympathy and thoughts are being sent to you.

Robin,
I will always remember Michael as the kind, generous, and loving gift from God that he is. Any words of comfort that I might give seem inadequate, so please accept a hug in the form of my prayers...

I read the newspaper today and found out about the tragic Loss of Michael. I was blessed to meet him in highschool & always wanted to reunite and see each other again one day. Michael was a very talented, bright spirit whos memory will live on in my heart. I will always cherish the painting he gave me. My condolences to his family & wife.
Love & Prayers,
Nicole Choy

Our prayers and thoughts are with you at this very difficult time.

Robin,

First, our condolences to you as well as Mr. and Mrs. Ty and John and Debi. I never got the opportunity to meet Michael but through your grandmother we were told of the great accomplishments you were both experiencing. It was the story book we all dream of and you guys had it. It is not lost now but changed. The story book just adds chapters now. I can imagine your faith is proping you up right now and that is good. Keep the faith and it will continue to support you. I look...

I worked with Michael last summer during my elective at the BIDMC where he was an intern. As a medical student, I was quickly impressed by his intelligence, his knowledge in medicine and arts in general and mostly by his modesty and great heart. He was not only supportive and helpful during the rotation, but also during my application to a residency program. He was extremely kind and served as a great role model. Thank you Michael for everything. May God bless you and your family.

Robin, and Crotty Family,
Im so sorry to hear about your loss, in such a tragic way. My sympathy is with you all! God bless
