Maria, Leo, Dora, Larry, Allie, Sam, Nathan, Liz, Karl and Debbie, James and Marie, and the rest of the Frisby/Hoopes clan and, now, Danielle too: 
 
 
 
 Since Jeff and I have moved to Baltimore, you have opened your hearts and home to us. We feel as though we are a part of your family. The loss you feel is also our loss. While there is nothing that either of us can say to make this loss any easier, we do want you to know that Michael is in our thoughts, as you are. We hope that as the new year begins, the pain of Michael not being physically with you will be replaced by the wonderful memories that he has left us all. 
 
 
 
 The memory that comes most frequently for me is the year he graduated from high school. I see his smiling face while playing around in the pool with his friends, full of jokes and laughter. 
 
 
 
Next, I remember Dora with Michael, trying to help him with his homework in high school. She always was so thoughtful of him and protective. How much love the two have for each other, and how proud you must be, Maria and Leo, that your children could be so close. 
 
 
 
I will always remember his presence at Christmas Eve, Easter, Memorial Day, Labor Day, and Thanksgiving. But our very first Fourth of July in Baltimore, when you invited us to join the family bar-b-que, we will always remember the sweet and loving face of Michael. He was a little shy then, but we have never forgotten his politeness and warm smile that made us feel more comfortable as we met our new family. 
 
 
 
 Thank you, Michael, for being a part of our lives. We will miss you.

Michael...Christmas spent with your family was heart warming, only if your were there to spend it with me together. Everybody longed for you to be there. Sweetie the locket was truly a blessing, a cherishing gift from you to me..I love you so much and miss you everyday. My life without you in it is so empty. Like Dora and your mom said your my true guardian angel now and a very possesive one. Having you watch over me everyday and being with me in spirit is the closest we are to one another. I know, of all how happy you were with me,and with your family. Now your living your eternal life with Jesus. Your right sweety "He called" for you to come home. I am so blessed to have had you in my life to share our love, the kind that will never die. I will always be and keep your family by my side in life. We will get through this together. We all love you Michael and you not being here seems so unreal. The kids all talk about you all the time, to me and the family, like your still here. All my decisions in life were with you, now I do them in memory of you. I can still see us in church together as I go alone. I hope your first Christmas with Jesus was special, I know it was. As your looking down, I'll be looking up saying I love you and always will. Your family, and I miss, and love you more than words can possibly say. I miss the days when we walked in your house and you asked your mom to fix you something to eat. We miss your beautiful smile. I miss "everything" we shared whether good or bad it was with you and that's all that matters. Your Mom, Dad, and Dora are staying strong because that's what you would want for them to come together more then anything, and that's what there doing, for you. One day we'll be together again. When that day comes it'll be a blessing from above.We'll all reunite, I love and miss you so much...Michael. 
 
Your in my heart and prayers always. Ms.Maria, Mr. Leo and Dora's family your in my heart and prayers as well. MICHAEL'S with you everyday and always.

To all Michael's friends and girlfriend, I'm so sorry Michael left this world. Michael talked so much about everyone on our trip. He couldn't wait to get home. Thanks for letting me borrow the headset, your kind. Your destiny was with the ones you loved the most. It was your destiny to leave that day on that bus to reunite with the ones who love you most. Now, your happy and you can rest. They will see you again one day.

Hello Michael and family. From what I heard of Michael he was a great person. There was never a moment when Danielle couldn't stop talking about him or smiling. They had the best years of his life together. He would always tell her she's his soulmate and they were. Michael had been through a lot in his past. He meet the perfect girl and she kept him happy. He couldn't wait to get home from Chicago to see his beautiful family and his beautiful fiance. I wish to God your son was still here. Michael had so much to give to the world and people around him. I'll keep the family in prayer. Michael was a thoughtful, kind hearted man. I'm so glad he came home from his trip in time to spend it with his family and with the woman he so everly loved, Danielle. Michael was a blessing and his spirit lives on. Mr and Mrs Frisby I'm praying for you, also to his sister, I heard good things about you-God bless you all. Your son and Danielle were the perfect team together. Michael will always be in all of your hearts. GOD BLESS YOU...heaven called for an angel..Michael!

Michael, I will never forget our trip and specially you. It was short, like our lifes, but unforgettable trip. I am so happy that I met you that day in that bus. It was a destiny that we meet each other. You are a wonderful person. I will always remember your smile and your hands. Dear Michael parents, you raised a strong, heartstringed son. It was a big honour to meet your son. Now, he is very happy, he is in a wonderful world. Michael, I will miss you so much. 
 
Love, your trip friend Lina.

Dearest Michael and All of his Family & Friends... I know the past 10 years have been some of the roughest times ever to confront. We all fought for your freedom and happiness. It was wonderful to see a picture of you full of life and smiling! There are so many things to be said, so little time.....Please just know that you will always hold a place in my heart and in my families heart. You are free and safe. My final picture of you is happy! This truly makes me happy- you earned it. 
 
Mr Leo, Mrs. Marie & Dora- always know that you never gave up and MICHAEL loved you with his entire heart. My deepest apologies to each of you, that his legacy had to end so soon. He had so much life to give and live. 
 
We will always have his memory, it will be as strong as ever. Hold on to each other and live; that is what your Son would have wanted.

Michael, I never had the pleasure of being around you much, but from what I know you always had a gentle touch. Your smile lit up a room 
 
Your sense of humor constantly bloomed. To Maria and Leo, you were their amazing, only son. With everyone else, their hearts you won! 
 
We all will cherish your memory forever and it's that memory that will keep us together! 
 
You're now in a safe, happy place. Implanted in our hearts and minds forever is your face. So Michael rest in peace 
 
knowing that the love everyone has for you will never cease!

Mr. and Mrs. Frisby the parents I will never get to have. Your son meant the world to me. Our lives were just beginning together. The times we shared together will forever burn in my soul. Every morning, noon, and night I think of Michael. We stuck by each other through thick and thin. Michael was the man I wanted to married and grow old with. He had God's blessing within him since birth. He will deeply be missed by me. I love you all so much. I wanted to bless Michael with two kids like himself to spread love and happiness to all. Our love lives on, and your love lives on through your family. I'll never let go of you, I will cherish you always and forever. I'll see you in heaven. Mr and Mrs Frisby God has his hands over you. You two are the best of parents and you raised a strong, beautiful boy into a wise honoring man. Thank you for giving me such a blessing to care for and love. Michael you and your family will always have a place in my heart. God Bless you and your family with love.

I wish to express my Condolences to Mike's family. I graduated from Archbishop Curley with Mike in 1994. During our four years at Curley, Mike sat behind me in some of our classes, and we became pretty good friends. I regret losing touch with Mike as well as other members of the class of 94. Mike's family are in my thoughts and prayers!! 
 
 
 
God Bless

I recently found pictures of a very young Michael on the pier of the place my family rented for vacation when we were younger. These are the memories to cherish.
