Michael’s warm smile, generous spirit, and kind heart enriched the lives of everyone who knew him. Michael will be missed more than words can express.
“And when he shall die, take him and cut him out in little stars, and he will make the face of heaven so fine that all the world will be in love with night.” William Shakespeare
