When I must leave you for a while
Please do not grieve and shed wild tears
And hug your sorrow to you through the years
But start out bravely with a gallant smile
And for my sake and in my name
Live on and do all the things the same
Feed not your loneliness on empty days
But fill each working hour in useful ways
Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer
And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near
And never, never be afraid to die
For I am waiting for you in the sky.

I met Michael in 1981 and have been blessed for knowing him. Kind, gentle, humorous are just a few words to describe Michael. I’ll always remember him in his sweater and tie. See you again one day my dear friend. Rest in peace.
Our deepest sympathy to your loving family.
With love,
Michael and Barbara Linden
