Cicely & Marc Winter

Dear Ángeles, your daughters, and Michael´s children,

We were shocked and saddened to receive the news of Michael´s passing and send you our most heartfelt condolences. Even though we have accepted that we will be losing friends at an increasing rate now, hearing that Michael was among them was an unusual blow because he was so full of life, energy, and good will-- "todo bom!"--the positive forces which I like to think will keep life going.....

It was wonderful that Michael could have this sabbatical year in Florianopolis and I loved the photos of the excursion to the waterfalls. We deeply respect his ongoing work in support of the marginalized sectors of Oaxaca society and appreciated receiving his carefully selected articles on such a wide range of subjects. I feel sad to see his last mailing in my Inbox the day before he died. Rest in peace Mr. "todo bom!"

Love,
Cicely and Marc Winter
