Mr. and Mrs. Jacks, I don't know why I even thought of Michael today, but for some odd reason I decided to Google his name. I was taken back to learn of his death, and although it's been over 13 years ago I wanted to let you know that I'm sorry for his premature passing. I think of him often when I reflect on people that had a profound effect on my life, and I miss him when I do. May God richly bless both of you and your family. I don't know the circumstances that led to his death but I hope that he passed peacefully.
Yours in Christ,
Mark Sorochinsky

Dear Betty and Bob,
We were greatly saddened to learn of your loss and our prayers are with you at this difficult time. We did not know Mike as an adult, but I remember him as a sweet child who faced some tough medical problems. He handled them with such courage and childlike faith that it made a real impression on me at the time. May God bless and comfort you and your family.

Dear Jacks Family --
I knew you all in the 1980's -- I am from Unionville, am on staff with Campus Crusade for Christ, and knew Beth through the College and Career group at Valley Community. Please accept my sincere condolences, and may you find rest in the truth that Michael is with Jesus -- whole, free and joyous.
