I just heard about Michael's sudden passing and am heartsick for you. As a 4th grader in my Indian Brook classroom, Michael greeted each new day with a smile and twinkle in his eyes. He is now his son's special guardian angel! My thoughts and prayers are with your family as you surrounded by memories of Michael and the good times you spent together.

We had the pleasure of meeting Mike 2 years ago when our family moved to Mayflower Village. I remember the first time George and I met Mike and Shannon. The beautiful young couple were all dressed up and ready for "date night." We knew right away that we had great neighbors. Our daughter Annmarie and Lucas became great friends. George and I had the pleasure of getting to know Mike and found him to be an amazing man. He was always smiling, laughing, and enjoying life. Our thoughts are with Mikes family, Shannon, and Lucas. George and I will deeply miss our friend and neighbor.

My heart felt sympathy to you and your family Mrs. Gallivan, I didn't know Michael but I knew Danny, I grew up with him in North Weymouth from grade 1 to grade 12. I was saddened when I learned he passed and now his son, my heart aches for you. If Michael was anything like his Dad, he was a wonderful boy. I have nothing but fun and funny memories of our childhoods. May your love and memories help you through another difficult time. Peace.
