I pray that family and friends find the strength to live the memories of those lost in this tragic accident. I send my condolences with the greatest of sympathy to the families of Michael Kline and Edwin Lasso.

Michael,
You were a tremendous inspiration to me, a source of knowledge to draw and learn from. I will do my best to carry the Pacificor tradition and complete the work we had begun. You should be here enjoying the success we created....I will miss you tremendously. You said I need somthing to obsess on.....completeing our goals and loving my family will be it.

I had breakfast with Michael the morning of the tragic accident after only briefly making his acquaintence a few days prior. I was instantly impacted with his sparkling eyes and vibrant smile. Meeting him on Islas Secas has made a huge difference in our lives. He was a truly outstanding human being. We now join his long standing friends and family in paying loving tribute to a brilliant, kind, generous, passionate and tender individual. We treasure Michael & Talia's memory and send them light and love filled prayers on their journey.

Talia was ever radiant and joy-full that day - just happy to be with her loving friend - deeply immersed in "girl talk". I said goodbye and wished them a safe journey. She turned and flashed us her gorgeous smile and responded "you too".

The trees, the birds, the flowers, the ocean waves - all of Nature on that beautiful Island are sad, as are all who are blessed with their acquaintence. Michael will ever be a generous, shining inspiration. Our deepest sympathies to the family on their healing journey. Michael's parents raised a beautiful son; Talia's parents raised a beautiful daughter - short term angels who are now shining stars in our universe.

Rest as sured that the loss of Mike and Talia is all of Santa Barbara's loss.
Talia, siempre estarás en nuestros recuerdos y plegarias te mandamos todo nuestro amor.

Our deepest, heartfelt condolences to the family..

God Bless you in the Heaven Michael & Talia.
