Wow.  Thank you so much for reaching out.  When I was looking for photos for the celebration of Beau’s life after the funeral service, I came across a funny one of you at the old 3919 Pine Street address.  Good times.  Simpler times.

He was a force of nature.  I’m glad we knew him for as long as we did.  I just wish it had been for 100 years more.

Be well.

Dear Michael,

For two seconds I imagined how I would feel if one of my closest friends died. I imagined the one who has more integrity than anyone I know. I chose a specific friend so it would be real. It was horrible! I pulled my mind and gut away from those thoughts and feelings as fast as I could. I considered summoning those feelings again so that I could write the most empathetic email possible. I won't do it. It's far too painful.  That is more than enough to know. I am so sorry for your loss. I can imagine and I refuse. I am so sorry for the pain of Beau's death.

Because you lived downstairs from us on Pine Street I met Beau. I have my own experience of Beau and am grateful to have known him a little.

Wishing you peace, Michael.

Be Well,
Carol Rachel Shore
