Kim, Brooke, Bill, Doug, David, Albert and family.
I am so sorry for your loss and sad hearts. Michael was taken much too soon but he fought a good fight with the love and care especially from Kim and all his family and friends. The Stento family has been a special part of my family for years before I even met Kim and Michael. Mom worked with Loretta at UHS for years and Mom always talked about how much she loved her. Doug was my brother's wrestling coach and always would ask how he was doing.
May your cherished memories help soften your sadness in time until you all meet again.
Love and prayers from Kelly and the Honsinger Family.

Love you, Marlene

It took a moment to recognize the man in the photo as the laughing boy I knew as Mickey. When I knew him - when we were about 15 - he was warm, open, kind-hearted and generous. I'm sure these traits intensified as he matured. My condolences to his family and friends. Mickey was a bright spot in my life. I'm sure he was a burning light in yours.
