Thursday Night Viewing Friday Morning Funeral

Tonight I am driving up to Orlando with my Mother to the viewing/visitation and then funeral for Michael.

Sad Day

Well I was delaying on posting this, but I suppose I cannot delay any longer. My Brother's friend Michael Buonauro, killed himself Friday night. We don't know why. We don't know how. Only that he apparently felt this was the next course of action for him.

He will be missed......He was my friend too......I would have like to have gotten to know him better.....

He wrote some amazing stuff: http://www.unknownhero.com

If ya have a moment to spare a prayer/meditation/positive thought for his family.
