Mike & Family,
"...May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields and,
Until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand..."
You are in my thoughts & prayers

Maryanne, Kevin, Pat & Amy our sincerest condolences from the Tziolis/O'Donnell family. Cherish the memories of the man your father/grandfather was. I may have never met the man but I could tell you he loved his children by the way his children loved him in his last few years with you. May God rest his soul and grant life to you all.

Our deepest condolences to all the family and friends.
Losing a loved one is so difficult, needing comfort that only God can truly give.
So because of this, I have placed you on our prayer chain. We might not know all of you,
