To all of Micheal’s family, please know I was deeply grieved to learn about Micheal’s death. I so enjoyed having him in both 5th grade and in the high school classes he took with me. He was a hard worker and a pleasure to have him when he assisted me with yard work at the house. I always enjoyed his congenial conversations and felt a loss when he opted to withdraw. Not having been in touch with him over the years I was sad to learn of his depression and now, this. So sad.
