To the Family of Michael D Paley

I recently found out that Michael died when I read the Washington University Alumni Magazine. Michael and I were classmates at Washington University School of Law Class of 1995. He was an exceptional student and a friendly person. I know that he had a successful career in the law.

I am very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. May Michael’s memory be eternal.

God Bless

Rest in Peace Michael
