A note from Michael

What you gave me matters.

“Mom, I see the ways you advocated for me and protected me. I also see Dad's strength and example. I carry the best qualities of both of you, and they became something uniquely mine: care with courage, persistence with purpose, and the instinct to stand up for the people I love.” Private gift note · draft for Sheila's approval
