Bon Voyage Jim! You taught my children much beyond the chess board. The late night confabs, movie discussions and your relentless research for fairness are not forgotten. You were one of a kind and sadly missed. My condolences to your family.

I was so sorry to hear about Michael. I met him through my friend, Patience, when he was just a teenager and I thought he was really a nice guy. You have my sincere sympathy.

You touched my life in ways I hope you knew...you offered me inspiration, support, and encouragement. You helped me realize that our faith is simple: love God, love one another, and feed His sheep. Thank you. I will miss you.

Dear Ellen and Chrissy, I know how deep your loss is. Michael was also a big part of my life, as you know, and words can never take the pain of his leaving away... It was too soon and too tragic... I will always love him, here and hereafter..... Patience
