Not sure what to say?

Sorry to hear of Mike's passing, I knew him from Sacajawea middle school and worked with him at IHOP and considered him to be a good friend, he'll be missed.

Kate hope good memories comfort you love & peace Becky&MaryJo

My baby brother was my first true love. We were always friends...no sibling rivalry ever. A favorite memory: In the 1970s, someone gave me a helium balloon that floated through my house for days. Mike came over for a visit, and he said lets suck the helium out of the balloon. We were howling with laughter and woke up my sleeping son Pat. When he ran into the kitchen, I said (in my Minnie Mouse voice) Sorry to wake you, honey and Pat literally fell over backwards laughing. Until the day Mike...

Mike was a good person inside and out. The biggest heart a person can have.

I will forever remember the Steve Miller Band concert at Edgefield.

His love for you was always evident in his eyes when he looked at you. His smile when he was told the Admiral was calling.

He was a great friend and charge nurse. I enjoyed taking care of others.

I know Karin has temporarily lost her soul mate and best friend, but you'll be together forever next time you...

What an accomplished man. I always remember as kids, he was super smart. The summers at Comstock Park with John Kate and Mike at the pool were always happy times! He will be missed!

Michael Fahey has left a wonderful imprint in this world. I met him when he brought his amazing wife to Windhaven Therapeutic Horse Ranch. He was so loving , supportive and willing to pitch in and help others. His positive, uplifting personality brought sunshine even on stormy days. He is greatly missed but know he is soldiering on in heaven.

Mike and all his family were a huge part of my very happy childhood! It was so fun to have cousins in town that would join us for back yard bbq s or outings to the park. Going to Auntie and Uncle Jack's house was always a treat and I even got to spend the night a few times. Mike was the same age as my big brother Pete and I thought they were both the coolest and the smartest! I remember Mike's smile and his laugh and I'm so thankful for all the joy he added to our family get togethers. He...

My love, you always called me "My love" too! The very last message i have recorded of your voice on voicemail is "Good morning, my love" You were recovering from your second craniotomy because you contracted an infection in your incision. You were so brave, through it all. You were my rock, my lifelong partner. I can hardly go on without you but i must find a way. You told me, " I want you to flourish" You were the kindest, most intelligent soul i have ever met and i was so blessed to...

Today is Mike's Memorial Service and I had very much hoped to be able to attend it. However since that became impossible I am writing this today so that I may feel that I am in some small way a part of it. I will go to Mass later today in Mike's honor and as a way of showing my respect. (In this time of crisis when all scheduled Masses have been cancelled, our Priest is saying Masses that we can 'drop in' to.)

I was a considerably older second cousin of Mikes and knew him...
