We were so deeply thankful for all the
love and support of family, friends, and the larger community who helped us honor
our son Mike's memory. He had a difficult life, beset by mental illness. The
services for Mike were held on Sunday, January 12, 2020 at the Congregation Beth Elohim
in Acton. Massachusetts. He was interred that afternoon day at Beit Olam Cemetery in Wayland, Massachusetts. The weather
that Sunday was sunny and cloudless, the warmest January day on record in
Massachusetts history. We and all those who were there to honor Mike's memory
that day are grateful for such a beautiful, though quite atypical, New
England winter’s day.
Here’s a picture of Mike from happier times, and on the right below are link
