I work at Atlantic City Medical Center, Mainland Division, and knew Mike for many years. I was so shocked and heartbroken to hear of Mikes death. He was such a wonderful, cheerfull person. I don't think I ever saw him without a smile and just to see his smileing face made your whole day brighten up! My thoughts and prayers are with his Mother and his Family. I am blessed to have worked with him when I did, and honored to have known him.

Michael......I only had a little over 2 months to get to know you. When I think of what I wasted, I am so mad. You are so special to me and always will be...I feel like I knew you forever, like we always said. You just can't be gone yet....we just started. You just told me last week there was a reason you were still here...I believed you.
My fondest memories are the Redstone (which I will never forget) our first date...and the days that followed with the crazy phone calls LOL. I will miss our late phone calls and LONG conversations and me being able to tell you anything. You were my bestest buddy...MY REDHEAD....I will miss YOU...Love Ya...

Dear Frannie, Sam, Chris and Tina:
It is so hard to find the words or expressions that will ever come close to giving comfort and peace in your loss. God has called yet another of His children home. Michael is walking the streets of gold in Heaven as I write these words. What a wonderful thing to look forward to! May Michael's passing bring one more person to the throne of grace. You have much to celebrate about in the memories of this fine man who touched so many lives in so many different ways.
Love, Prayers, and Sympathy to you and the entire family,

Dear Fran and all others who loved Michael,
I am so sad to hear of his death and my heart goes out to you. I never knew him, but given how wonderful his mom is, and the nice information in the obituary, he must have been a great guy, taken far too soon.
This is a reminder to love life since none of us knows how long we'll be here.
Take care,
Nancy

Dear Mazza Family, our deepest heart felt sympathy goes out to you in your heartbreaking time of losing Mike. He was a great man and friend. You are in our prayers. Just trust that Mike is with his Lord Jesus. John 11:25&26 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.

Dear Mazza Family and friends,
I used to work with Mike many years ago at ShopRite in Absecon, and what I remember of him then was that he was always smiling. I praise the Lord to know that he accepted Jesus into his heart and was now living for the Lord. I was able to see him again at Church just recently and was excited about what God had done for him in his life. One day we will see him again with the Lord. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
My love to you all. John 14:1-3
