I didn't know Michael but I did his family and wanted to express how sorry I am to read of his passing. Such a wonderful life. So tragic that his life here on earth was cut short. So tragic for the family as well. I personally understand this type of pain. The road you are on now is far from easy. But our Dear Heavenly Father has promised to never leave you. May the precious Holy Spirit comfort each of you and strengthen you in the days ahead. With love.
