My deepest sympathy upon the loss of your beloved Michael. I was one of Michael's math teachers in his senior year. There aren't enough words to describe MIchael. He was sweet, smart, sensitive, perceptive, a wonderful friend, helpful, loyal, determined, driven, motivated, loving, I could go on and on. He had a smile that could lighten anybody's heart. I was so lucky to have gotten to know Michael that year and will never forget him. (Lynn)
