Hi from Joy.  Last weekend, Janet and I were caringly looking through Mike's possessions.  Among the things we found that were very poignant and meaningful to me were music notation books with Mike's songwriting notes--we both write songs--and the tallit (prayer shawl) Mike wore at his bar mitzvah. It was neatly wrapped in a small blue velvet parchment bag with his initials "M.G." in yellow gold lettering.  I decided then and there to wear it every Friday night this year that I go to my synagogue.  Here is a photo of me wearing it yesterday right before I left for services.

Also it is my intention to write new songs in the same music composition book that Mike used, thereby sharing music through time and space.
