I only recently learned of Michael's passing, and wish to send my sincerest condolences to his family. I briefly had the honor and pleasure of working with Michael on a case or two. He was a brilliant attorney, but more importantly, he was a very good man and mentor. I will cherish his memory forever.

grief is a sad and tradgey tears at the heart. It's okay to feel pain. Even Jesus wept upon hearing of his beloved Lazarus.I believe this... God knew your sons anguish and above all is taking care of him now as he is his child.I pray Michael will come to you in someway to give you a measure of comfort.I will continue to pray for the family every day.
