Dear Gloria and Family --
We receive the news of Mike's passing with profound sadness. It is hard to know that such a kind human spirit leaves us behind here on earth.
Yet we recall with joy the smile, the laugh, the bounce in his step, and the generous light that accompanied Mike. We are grateful for having had the good fortune of knowing him.
We are comforted knowing that his struggles within an earthly body have ended.
Even in this time of loss and tears, we fill ourselves with good memories that sustain us.
Our deepest condolences.
With love,
Jeff and Elzbieta Bright
