Dear Alex,

I am so sorry that I have just learned of Michael's passing. It was so many year's ago that my friend Morgan brought me to Michael's Samhain Circle on the Boston Common which started a long but enriching journey which both you and he were a big part of in the early years.

He will be sadly missed by so many and please know that both of you have touched so many lives in so many great ways.

Peace and Bright Blessings,

Scotty,
I am so sorry for your loss. Michael and you were both like sons to me. IT breaks my heart to know you will not grow old together. But know he is watching over you. Think of all the good times we had together as you both were growing up, think back and laugh at all the fun and good times. Know I love you and am always here for you.

Alex, losing a brother is more than losing a friend and he was and will always be both to you. ..Will never forget being initiated on the Common , classes in the Tea Room, the sparkle in his eye and his "just channel it,.. remember who you are .

Alex, I only knew your brother through you but he always treated me with respect and I really liked him. I was looking forward to meeting him again soon and am sad that I won't be able to now. But, even moreso, my thoughts are turned towards you and the rest of Michael's family; and I wish all of you the peace of good memories, and the gratitude from even getting to walk alongside him through life at all.

Michael, I called your cell phone number because I wanted to hear your voice one last time. I can hear it in my head though. I am so sad that I will never get to talk with you again about HBO drama's, dexter, christmas music, madonna, therapists, astrology, tarot, love, life, trains...

You were a father to me...and to so many of us, I know. Michael, Michael, I will always cherish the years I was allowed to know you, you and your beautiful, loving, heart, spirit...YOU! I will always love you, Michael.

I am most sad to hear this shocking news. Michael your warmth and sincereity were a clone of your dad & mom whom I knew for all of their equally short lives. My hope is the reuniting with them brings the promised peace & joy to all of you.

Sad to see Mike's passed on to heaven. He was a special man who's human touch made a mark in my life. While working at Comfed I was merely out of high school and was given so many opportunities through my supervisors like Connie Landry & Mike. Scott, I hope you're well. I've thought of you guys through the years. Keep the Faith
