Michael Vinay Bhatia Tribute

My memories of Michael goes back to our first encounter with him. He must have been about 2 years old. We had just moved into our home in Morgan Hill, CA when the door bell rung. My husband answered the door and here was this little man welcoming us to the neighborhood. When my husband returned, I asked what they had discussed. He said that he had no idea but was quite impressed that Michael was very articulate if not understandable at such a early age. Whenever I see a child jabboring on about who knows what, I always think of Michael.

The last time we saw Michael was in Medway, MA when he was a teen. I was deeply impressed with his warmth, intelligence, sense of fun and total lack of awkwardness around adults. He was also a great tour guide!

We loved him very much and he will always be in our hearts. Our prayers of comfort go out to Linda, Mike and Trish.
