Dear Lynch Family-
I am so sorry to hear the news of Michael. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. As you know, with the loss of my father, it was a very difficult time. Time is a wonderful thing and although I will never forget, I do go on. I wish the same for all of you. I remember Woodcock and fishing with the Lynch boys as a very young boy. They are very fond memories. Maybe Michael can teach my dad how to ride a Harley in Heaven.
