My memories of Mike always bring a smile to my heart. However, I also remember Myra calling me while I was visiting family in NYC to tell me of the tragedy of his passing.
May Michael aka Mike continue his rest in sweet peace. He is always remembered, honored, missed and loved.

Mike! My vision is of you on a beautiful cloud, smiling, laughing enjoying yourself which is how I always knew you to be. Have known you since you were a little boy who was always kind, generous and funny! You grew into a man of the same character and that is how I will always remember you. Gonna get around to posting a few of the many photos I have of you with your Mom and brother Jay. Continue to Rest, dear Mike. You remain in my heart. Much Love, Vivian
