First of all, thanks to everyone for all the prayers and good wishes. Unfortunately Michael is being moved tomorrow to St.Anthony's Hospice, here in St. Louis. He put up a good fight, but the doctors feel he is ready to prepare for the end. They say at least 3-6 mos. As you can imagine all our emotions are tied up in knots over this latest turn of events. You can send cards or letters to him c/o:
St. Anthony's Hospice 10016 Kennerly Rd. St.Louis MO 63128 314-525-7360
It will be a few days before we can get a phone set up in his room, so please be patient. Thanks again to everyone for all the wonderful sentiment, it really means a lot. We ask you now to focus on to helping Michael find a peaceful way to heaven.

Oh, this is just awful news. I had hoped so hard for his full recovery. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time for a minimal of suffering for all of you, Michael included.

Damn. In the past years, Michael has been one of my favorites here on RFC.
Thank you for providing his personal information. How fortunate have I been to know him here on RFC.
I'll be holding him as close in my thoughts. Over the years, The Dog always did make me think - .and think some more, about stuff I didn't think about before. Damn, I miss him so much. .

Please convey my best wishes for a peaceful and warm passing. It is my hope that he is surrounded by the ones he loves and whom love him.
In recent years we have had the opportunity to personally experience the warmth and understanding on hospice people. Generally they are wonderful people who have very broad shoulders.
No matter how we think we are prepared we never are. The only thing we really have the ability to do is to accept. After all life is a terminal disease.

No! Please tell me this is a troll... no such luck I guess.
There is nothing I can say.

I'm *so* sorry to hear this; I really like Michael and will miss his kind and funny posts. I honestly don't know what else to say...

I'm very sad to hear this and my prayers go out to all of you. He is a very special person. I so wish that he could have been able to visit with Margaret and the others for the brunch.

This just plain sucks. 🙁
I always found Michael to be one of the nicest people in this ng. I'm going to miss him very much.
Keeping him and his family in my thoughts and prayers...

Welllllll, being that the Christmas season is usually filled with hopes of miracles... that's what I'm still going to wish for. He's a very special person and while I still will hope for a recovery if things don't go as planned I pray that he will remain comfortable before going on to a much better place.

Damn!
I've come and gone over the years, but Michael was one that was always a very kind and helpful person. I was actively praying for his recovery. I'm am truly saddened by this news.
It's one gruesome thought, but maybe they cook in Heaven? 'cause that's surely where he's going with all of the people pulling for him. And I'm sure that he'd liven up their palettes.
THANKS for the address!

For those of you who haven't experienced Hospice, please know that Michael will receive loving, respectful and dignified care from the staff and volunteers of this incredible association. Kind thoughts to Michael and to those who love him and will be with him as he leaves us.
Please accept my most sincere hopes and prayers for a reversal of Michael's present condition. If that truly isn't possible, then my most sincere best wishes for a comforting and peaceful ending. My sympathies to you and all of Michael's family and his partner.
I know that Michael's presence will be greatly missed here on rfc, and everywhere else he was known. His humor, wit, and sincerity has always been a bright and positive note here.

He will be sorely missed. He was one of the good ones.

Ouch. No amount of bracing really prepares you for this kind of news. I'm sorry to hear this, but draw some happiness in the hope that he'll be comfortable for the next few months.
Thanks, Ellie (and Sarah, of course) for corresponding his condition to us over the past couple of weeks. I hope you and your family are doing as well as possible.
On the bright side, he can finally meet Johnny Cash ;-)

Ah hah! Now, this evil jackass's post pops up a few days late. Aol has straightened itself out, I guess.
For everybody who has not heard, this is a forgery. Michael is doing very well, for what he has gone thru.
Some people have nothing to do but harass others, may he/she burn in hell.
