Michael when I came to this country in 1977 your home was always a place to be welcomed. I am so grateful that over the years we shared many happy and not so happy times. I am sad to not see your smiling face with the excitement in your eyes when we bumped into each other at differed events, but knowing you are a brother in the Lord, the creator of heaven and earth, we will see each other again.
