I was shocked to learn rhat Michael had passed away! I had checked my updated Facebook page and was looking for updates from friends from college and saw that something was off when I checked Mike's page for updates. I knew Mike & Bill well during their college years and a few years after until I moved to Washington DC. I'm glad Mike found success and had a nice family & career. I hope he didn't suffer at the end and may God bless his soul.

Dear Julie,
My deepest and sincere condolences at the difficult loss of your beloved spouse and my cherished brother Mike.
I will always remember his jokester nature as we shared countless hours of playtime as kids and friends, as well as much time playing sports as adolescents and young adults.
But I think what is serving him best as he stands before God right now are all the good deeds and advice he has given to me as his brother, in addition to the same for you and his many close friends.
While we all mourn his loss as we are human, let's all hope, pray, and act like Mike did such that we may be worthy to meet and be with him, our foregone relatives and friends, and the Lord Himself in Paradise.
Farewell Mike! I love you very much. I will pray for your soul. Until we meet again.
And Julie: Please know of my constant and sincere thoughts and prayers for you at this toughest of all times. Please lean on me. I will never abandon you.
Love,
Bill
