Lindsey and Michael were blessed on earth to have the most amazing love and care bestowed upon them by the most loving and wonderful parents. They were both "mench" before they reached adulthood, thanks to all you gave to them. You taught them to be givers, lovers and humorous- not takers or users, and you were always so proud of them! Now we have to think that they are looking down, proudly, upon you to carry on for them. Lindsey must have needed her Michael, even more than those of us left here to wonder why.
All our love and indescribable sorrow.

Dearest Susan and Paul,
I cannot express how sad I am for you on Michael's passing. I rememeber Lindsey and Michael when you lived on Bretten Road upstairs from my sister and brother in law Deborah and Bob Guggenheim. I saw Michael not long ago and he seemed happy and positive. He was a wonderful sweet guy always there for anyone and very supportive and careing. I'm sure G-d has a very important goel for him in heaven. I'm also sure Lindsey and Michael are together and taking care of each other as well and making others laugh as they spread their love to others who have past. My deepest condolensces.
