Dear Tollini Family,

I was shocked and saddened to see of Mike's passing in the paper. I was great friends with Lisa during our middle school years at Casey, and got to know the Tollini family very well as I was over at their house quite often (and Lisa's sleepover parties were the best)!!

I remember Mike as a typical brother, teasing us and joking around, but I also remember him to be a kind and overall good person.

Lisa, I am so very sorry. My thoughts are with you and your family.

In sympathy,

Michele Dineen Daniels

He used to say to me in passing´ Dewey´ That was my brother´s nickname in high school who he knew.(Bobby Daigler) I´m sure an association & connection to my sibling. A very beautiful, Kind , Thoughtful term of endearment.Obviously Mikes sense of humor is valuable &important. Sincerely,Renee Daigler
