I am so saddened to learn of Michael's passing. He was in one of my first classes as his sixth grade teacher. I remember he had a passion for baseball and I would go watch him play. I often wondered what he did after graduation. To the family I pray you find solace in the Master's love as you traverse this new reality without your loved one. God's peace and blessings upon you.
