November 17, 2010

To Delores, Monica, Janet, Mark & all of Michael's loved ones, his friends, neighbors and all that love Michael; I have come here every day since I heard the news, but could not find the right words to share with you; his family, and express comfort without pain. Then I read what Janet said about Mike's love for people and who he is inside all of us by what he gave all of us; he gave his true self, his love and he expressed his love without pretense or concern for himself or what others may think-he just shared himself with those he did love. I know we will miss his presence; but I feel his love expressed within me as we all do and I will remember his expressions of love to me and all his family and neighbors. I feel honored to be one of Michael's close friends that he shared his true self; his honesty, caring and concern for others before himself. That is the best definition of love I can think of and when I do think of Michael, I will always see him with that smile on his face showing the love he gave all of us. RIP Michael and I ask God's blessings and comfort for his family and loved ones. Kathy Manos

While we mourn the loss of Mike, others are rejoicing to meet him behind the veil.
Perhaps there are no stars, just openings in the Heavens where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know that they are happy.
Our deepest condolences.
Love Robert, Russ & Kevin

Dolores. Monica, and Janet!
It is never a good time to have a family member go to be with the Lord.
But we do have so many memories of his life. We will always remember him at our own times and I'm sure with a smile on our faces and a warm loving heart. I pray for sorrows to turn to great memories and know we are here for you always!
