Not sure what to say?

Everything you wrote about Michael was true and more. I enjoyed his company and friendship at St.Veronica Parish and the Knights of Columbus. He was very generous to his priests and quite helpful to me in organizing pilgrimages to the Holy Land. Peggy, I wish you the best and know that you will receive support from your may friends at St.Veronica and elsewhere and from Michael i ways you have not yet experiences. God bless you.

I am just so sorry about Mike’s passing!! He was so so sweet and funny also!! And I know he loved you dearly!!! His spirit is with you and your family now and always ❤

We always enjoyed our time visiting Peggy, Michael and family in Virginia and in later years South Carolina. Michael was always eager to show his latest gadgets to us. Our trips around the South Island of New Zealand were also full of good times and memorable moments, eg the day his hat was bought (the one in the photo) a product of a visit to Lyttelton, a seaside/port suburb of Christchurch. His humor and dry wit will also be sorely missed. Rest in peace Michael. Bill and family,...

He will be missed and fondly remembered, always.

I´m so sorry for your loss, Peggy. May you be blessed with strength and love from those close to you. God bless.

Our prayers are with you at this difficult time, Peggy! We will never forget Mike’s witty and funny contributions at the Breakfast Club in Chantilly and the beautiful example you two gave as a faith-filled happy couple! Our most sincere condolences!

A driving force for our Council, and an anchor for our parish. I will miss his humor and dedication. I pray for his soul.

Peggy and family, please accept my deepest condolences.
Mike’s faith-filled witness was an inspiration to so many. His leadership within the St. Veronica parish community was a quiet gift to all.
I’m grateful for witnessing and learning from his example of devotion and Mike’s many commitments to the Catholic fraternity.
Thank you Mike, rest well in the serenity and love of our Father.

I am sorry to hear about his passing. I knew him through the Knights of Columbus. He was a good Knight and a devout Catholic. I will miss him.
