This is a very sad day for me just finding this out about Mike. He was a great friend of mine at Mount St Mary's. He was a jokester every minute. He had a warm heart and would help anybody out if he possibly could. The memories I have of him in college together will always be cherished. He was the biggest Yankees fan I know. I am deeply sorry for your loss. Mike was trully a warm hearted guy and overall a great man. He will be always in my thoughts and will be deeply missed. GOD BLESS MIKE DALY!

Dear Joanne and Sabu and all of Mike's family...
I have searched for words and they have not come. There are no words, just great memories!
Michael would always respectively say to me when I saw him " Mrs. Poland, How are you?" He brought joy and love unconditionally to so many. He and Eddy and the tight group they had as buddies will live on in my memories forever. I do thank you Joanne and Sabu for giving this mom peace, when proms or parties went on during High School, you were both there to give them a safe place at the shore. Mike was a beautiful guy, inside and out. I have kept his picture of the 23rd Psalm and know that with that thinking Mike is in a better place. We will be together again...God Bless you and know you are in my prayers...
Love peggy Poland and the whole Poland family...
