Dear Presbytera and Family,

I was so sorry to learn of Father Michael's passing ... I know he was not well for the past few years and perhaps he is in a better place in heaven. I will always remember how kind Father was to my Mother in the church and the compassion he shared with me when she was gravely ill. I am glad that my family and I were able to see him in November when we held a memorial for my Mother. May his memory be eternal, and may God bless you and your family during this most difficult time.

Dear Presbytera, Katerina, Father Alex, & Entire Michalopoulos Family,

Although there are no words to comfort or ease the pain of grief that we have all suffered at this time of great loss. Although we know he is in peace, we can't help but share in your grief. Father Michael has taught us so many things over the years. For John it was the many years serving as an alter boy and for myself the short time in which he helped prepare me for marrying in to the church. He showed us that we can be a solid rock in the face of tragedy and pain. His devotion to the church and community will never be forgotten. Father Michael has been there for us in so many happy times and sad ones and he was always the constant in our life. For that he will live on in all of our hearts. He has been a true spiritual father and an example of a true hero, all the while being a true spiritual giant. Our prayers go out to you. With love and prayers,
Karyn & John Koutsaris

Dear Presbytera, Katerina, Father Alex, & Entire Michalopoulos Family,

I think I speak for myself and my entire family, when I say, we have all suffered a great loss. Although I know he is in our savior's arms, I can't help but share in your grief. Father Michael has taught me that we can be a solid rock in the face of tragedy and pain. His faithfulness helped me to endure these tests of faith. Father Michael has been there for us in tragedy and in joy, in birth and in death, in sickness and in health. He has been a true spiritual father and an example of humbleness, all the while being a true spiritual giant. Our prayers go out to you. With love in Christ,
