I am so sad at the passing of Michael. He was such a kind, warm and loving man. I will never forget when he stopped by my parents’ home when I was 16. He drove over in a yellow convertible and let me drive it. I was so excited and while it’s been over 40 years, I have never forgotten his kindness. My thoughts are with all of you, the women he loved most in the world.♥️

Dear Bari,
I am so sorry for you and your family. My father just died on Sunday of heart failure, and I am finding grieving extra hard because we can’t gather with family and friends to celebrate a loved one’s life. I’m sure your feeling the same way.
I hope you can find peace through the love of your daughters and grandchildren.
