To All of Michael's Family and Friends:
I am shocked and saddened to hear of Michael's passing, especially so long after the fact. I hope you can all find some solace in the knowledge that all of our lives are better for having known him, albeit for too short a time.
For those of us of his generation, his death comes as a special shock and poignant reminder of life's fleeting blessing.
To Richard, Sissy, Lizzie and Susie, I hope you will ask for me next time you are at the Medici. To Beth Anne and Elijah, I extend the same offer, eventhough we have never had the pleasure of meeting under happier circumstances. Sincerely,
Jonathan Petzold

To Beth Anne, Elijah, and all Michael's family & friends, reading of Michael's passing makes me very sad. He wrote me such a sympathetic e-mail almost exactly a year ago. I will save it and get it to Beth Anne. Just from his e-mail I loved him! What a dear man. I'm so sorry I didn't get to meet him in person. How proud you all must be. God bless you! Marion Biagi

Dear Evans Family - Love to all of you. My mother told me about Michael's death. I forever have a picture in my head of all of us playing as children. You helped me through some very tough times when I was a little girl, so I know what a strong, loving family you have and I know that love will give you comfort now. Deeda

Ever since my friend (and Michael's cousin) Rob told me about Michael's diagnosis, Michael's name has been on my lips in prayer. Though I never knew him, he became a part of my life, and the news of his passing saddened me deeply. My prayers shall now be that his family be comforted and inspired by his memory.
