My greatest sympathy to Michael's family and friends. Years ago I bought a cookbook of Michaels and I was surprised and delighted to discover that he had mentioned my mother in it, and the food she baked and took to his house the night his father died. I think it is testimony to his character, and very touching to me, to think that he had remembered and thanked Mum, for her small act of kindness, on what had to have been the worst day of his young life.
