Dear Debbie: I"m so sorry to hear of your husband's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you grieve and take care of all that this entails.
Dear Debbie,
My heart goes out to you during this time of sadness. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I often heard your stories about Mike, although I don't think I ever met him. Because I know you, however, I know he had to be an amazing person. Here's a poem by Rumi that inspires me around any loss…
"The wound is the place where the Light enters you."
You are in my thoughts,
Eleanor
I have fond memories for Mike from our days at the Sigma Chi house. He served has my pledge "grandfather" and provided warm advice and did so with a wonderful sense of humor.
Last year he organized a reunion of the old brothers…the time has and continues to pass too fast.
Rest in Peace brother!
