Mike and family,

Psalm 23:

"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. In verdant pastures he gives me repose; beside restful waters He leads me; He refreshes my soul. He guides me in right paths for His name's sake. Even though I walk in the dark valley I fear no evil; for you are at my side with your rod and your staff that give me courage."

My God give you and your family all of the necessary graces and strengths to endure this suffering and loss.

My mom recently gave me the program to our fifth grade play in Mr. Blachly's class. I have a picture of Bryan and me setting up the scene. Remember that?

My heart goes out to you, Mike!

With deepest sympathy,
