Dear Kennedy and Donovan family, Mikey Joe was an amazing person who spread laughter and joy everywhere he went. As a cousin, I was fortunate to be a weekend, school vacation guest of dear MaryEllen and Mike, Sr. During the school holidays I was so lucky to have accumulated so many wonderful memories of my good times with Mikey Joe and Maureen in Roslindale. Time will never erase the love I had for all the Kennedy's. Mike was special. My prayers are with you all.

To my cousin's Pat and Brendan and Davin. I am brokenhearted for you. Mike was a wonderful example of a man who loved his life and family. He was someone who lent a helping hand, told a great story and had great shopping advise. He was a wonderful cook and fun to be around. I will miss him.
