Patty, Mark and Mary Sue,
I am so sorry for your loss with Michael. I remember him as such an energetic young boy when he was little who was always looking up to Mark and teasing Mary Sue. My parents let me know of his untimely passing and I can't imagine how you must feel. Please know that Michael is in my thoughts and prayers and I hope the good memories you have of your time with him help ease your pain. Loving regards, Chrissi

Dear Mrs. Tymchyshyn, my old friend Mark, and Mary Sue;
I am so sorry for your loss and wish you peace in the time ahead. I never knew Michael well - heck, he was just a scamp running around the house with Sasha and Pushi when we were in high school. But there he was, toe headed and smiling. Mary Sue I will always remember you for wearing your toe sandals with big white athletic socks (both of my children were born when we lived in Oak Park - we miss OP so much); and Mark, well, we had fun - right? I hope Greta and the kids are well. I wish you all the best life can be. You are in my thoughts. You are a part of me and I carry you all in my heart. With real love, John

Dear Pat, Mark & Mary, Well this just stinks. Though we haven't kept in close touch, I'll always remember Michael's willingness to help me play little tricks on Mark and Mary during the Theatre Dept. (or was it still the Speech Dept.?) infamous football parties. Truth to tell the laugh was usually on me. Though we are miles and years apart, my thoughts and prayers are with you. If ever you come to the Ann Arbor, know that our door is always open. Take good care of each other.

Dear Pat, While out of the country on Business ; I have learned of Your Son Mike's death; I am so sorry for you and your family. What I can say is that Remember the Laughter and the Fun and Joy, he brought to you, yes the hard times are there but the good thoughts will carry you through; As a parent we all understand that the loss of a child is the hardest for parents. You will remember that you taught us as young Nursing students that each child carries his own gifts and tribulations as parents we all have faced them; and understand those trials and tribulations of each child. MIke in his own path marched to a his own drumbeat, and brought joy to many he had many gifts treasure them and remember them.

My thoughts are with the Tymchyshyn family at this time. I grew up down the street and remember Michael as a very inquistive child.
