A note from Amy

For those of you that haven't heard the news Michael passed away early this morning.

His sister, Mary, reads everyone's horoscope every day. It's not something we ever read
but his today in the Daily News was:

"Building a strong support group of people you can rely upon can provide comfort as well
as peace of mind. People enter your life for different reasons, Pisces. Some will sit in the
background, floating in and out, being there just when you need them. Others come for
specific reasons, and it seems they only stay around for a short time. When someone
leaves your life, don't feel that something unpleasant has happened. It could just be that
their reason for being there has ceased to exist."

I encourage you to keep the blog going and tell your stories of Michael. We were both
apprehensive at first about this but it helped us along the way and we enjoyed it. It
brought us many smiles during this rough time. He was a man to cherish and to
remember.

We will plan a memorial for Michael in the future and will let you know. Also setting up a
fund for donations for pancreatic cancer research - Chris will post the info soon. Please,
no flowers - the garden is in full bloom.

With all of you I share my very heavy heart.

Amy
