I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I met Michelles sister and her boyfriend on Saturday at Fatboys for the benefit. Fatboys was filled with so many people and so much love that night it was unbelieveable. My heart and prayers go to everyone in the family.

Michelle and I lived in the same neighborhood. We were in Brownies together and spent summers playing. Though we weren't as close in Jr/Sr High, I will always have fond memories of time spent with Michelle growing up. I was so shocked and saddened by this horrible tragedy. I cannot even imagine what the Kokoras are going through. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Lukasz.
