You always knew when Michael entered a room. His voice, his laugh, his personality, his very presence was as huge as his love for FAMILY!! Some of my most cherished memories include, Me, Freddy, Mike, Patty, and Joy, and other members of our large family; just being kids. We always had big Sunday dinners and great holidays together. Those days are missed. I'm sure when Michael left this world, he was embraced by many of our most precious loved ones that have gone before us, and I feel comfort in knowing that he is not alone. He is with the best of the best.
Love,
Roxann.

Rhonda and Family, Chrissie and I are so sorry for you! Your in our thoughts and prayers. Even though, I have'nt seen Mike for years, I can see him perfectly clear in my minds eye. I remember, he would say or hear something and then he would get that wide eyed surprised look on his face and then , bust out laughing! Funny or not, I would crack up, with him!...GOOD PEOPLE...Rest in peace, Bro and I'll see ya around the corner.....Whitey
