Patricia with Michael

"THE PASSION LIVES TO KEEP YOUR FAITH-THOUGH ALL ARE DIFFERENT ALL ARE GREAT

CLIMBING AS WE FALL- WE DARE TO HOLD ON TO OUR FATE – AND STEAL AWAY OUR DESTINY

TO CATCH OURSELVES WITH QUIET GRACE".

THESE WORDS FROM THE SONG -THE STAIRS- HAVE BEEN GOING AROUND AND AROUND IN MY HEAD TODAY SO MUCH
SO I HAD TO PUT THE CD ON AND HEAR MICHAEL SINGING IT.

THOSE WORDS SAY SO MUCH ABOUT MICHAEL- THESE DEEP MEANINGFUL WORDS REFLECT THE NATURE OF THE MAN
MICHAEL WAS, ESPECIALLY THE WORDS ‘TO CATCH OURSELVES WITH QUIET GRACE'

THERE WERE MANY FACETS TO MICHAEL'S PERSONALITY BUT MOST OF ALL HE HAD A LOVING NATURE
AND ‘A QUIET GRACE.' TO ME HE WAS A SPECIAL PERSON AND EVERYTHING A MOTHER COULD ASK FOR IN A SON.

I AM SO GLAD HE CHOSE ME TO BE HIS MOTHER.
