Sorry for your loss, and we all need time to grieve, but no more shall your love one fill pain, hurt, sorrow for he is at home with the true Father where all is well. Yes and with other loved ones, awaiting for the rest of us. What a gain for Mike, but still a loss for us until we meet again.

Seems like not so many years ago...we were teens...not caring too much about the future...just living for the day or the moment. Mike and Wendy were always fun whenever they were with you. Their dad was a special person too.

Sometimes life ends too soon for reasons we can't understand.

Rest in peace Mike, Wendy, and DAD.
Our memories will remain.

Phyllis, Michele, and Family, May you find comfort in Friends, Family, and Prayers and Strength in knowing that Mike had a way of making a positive impact on all that he called friend. We blazed many trails together and even through the most difficult moments of his life, he always offered that smile, that giggle and that bit of laughter to let you know that everything was going to be alright. I've learned a great deal from him.

Phyllis and Michelle so sorry for your loss. I have kept up with the family from brief moments shared with you both, I will always remember your brother/son playing with my basset hounds on Whitman Ave and how Michael would tease Amanda and how Wendy and Michelle would try to protect her --his laugh would be so contagious and both you girls would throw things at him! My deepest sorrow is shared with you both. Amanda and I will be praying for your family.

I am so sorry for the loss of Mike. He was a true friend to all those lucky enough to have known him. I will always remember his smile, laugh, and kindness. He was a gentle giant who will be missed by so many of us who called him friend. Love and prayers to you all.

I am so sorry for your loss. Mike was a very kind and loving man. He was there for my brother Scott Rosenberry who also passed away a couple of years ago. Let us pray that they are both with their heavenly Father catching up on the good times they shared.
