I have so many memories from across the years of the precious time I have spent with Michael. Life is less colourful now you are no longer with us in the world, and I still find it very hard to believe that you are not there to ring up and talk to. I hear your voice in my head all the time, and I miss you very much. I do though know it was an incredible honour to have spent time with you, it was always joyful, and I am so thankful for that. There are so many words that I could use to describe Michael; kind, caring, inspiring, a true Maestro, genuine, passionate, a supreme talent, funny, a loving family man, heart of gold, mentor etc. However, the words that mean most to me when I think of Michael are, dear dear friend xxx
