Linda, Sandra and I are shocked at the passing of Uncle Mike even though he wasn't my real uncle you and him were like family. There are so many wonderful memories I will never forget. I know Mike is in a better place healthy and renewed looking down and sending his love every second your apart. Loving and rejoycing with the ones who have gone before him. Remember he is not gone in spirit but in flesh and you will reunite once again. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

So very saddened to hear of Mike's passing. Meeting Mike in 1981 through his dad, Joe, we spent alot of time together. He was kind, a caring soul and a pleasure to be with. His passing occurred on the same day as my mother-in-law (Linda's Mom)passing. My deepest sympathy to the entire Artino family. My condolences, Tony & Linda Landini

Linda, I remember good times with you & Mike. Even though we have not been faithful in keeping in touch with you, we often think of you, your family & our camping days with you. Nothing can take away the pain you feel now; but, remembering all the fun & events keeps forever in your heart & mind. Mike surely is looking down on you with great pride. He is now another angel of God's. Can you imagine the reunion he is having with all the loved ones we have sent home to God. My prayers along with those of Diane & David's are for you. Love You, Betty Norton-Schubert, Mt. Airy, MD
