Dear Donna and the other beautiful women in Michael's life,
For me, Michael was a wonderful character from a Middle Earth world, who graced my undergraduate years. Past graduation, he and I shared a friendship over British fare in the Henry House, and exchanged witty emails across the ether. I can't give you a date, but at some point in our friendship, we drifted and our exchanges went silent.
It is difficult to forget a person who could wear three piece suits with moccasins, or the thinnest braid in his salt and pepper hair. Love him or leave him, he will not be replaced.
Thank you for your friendship Captain. Rest easy now surrounded by your books and music.
My condolences to those he loved.
Shawna Burgess
