To The Entire Accetta Family, We are so sorry for the passing of Mike. Reason for writing is that we noticed in the pictures that you put in the journal. And the one of where Mike, and four other men were standing. I think in Federal Hill, and were talking, and working on the road. The man to the far right was my Dad, Charlie "Brown" Laurenzo. I am hoping someone can verify this for me. My Father died back in 1956, and my Mother 2 years ago at 100 yrs old. My Dad came from Federal Hill, and was a die hard Yankee's Fan, like Mike. I would appreciate it if anyone can get back to me at the link "contact me" on the bottom of this note.
Again we are so sorry for your loss, and will keep Mike in our prayers.

My heart goes out to the Accetta family. Although I have never met your father personally, I truly enjoyed reading about his life. Clearly, he was a wonderful man who touched many hearts. I hope you can find strength, as I always have, in knowing that God promises to never forget his faithful ones (Malachi 3:16). Please accept my deepest sympathies and rest assured my prayers are with your family.

BEAUTIFUL HEAVENLY POEM
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Oh Richard, JoAnn and family, I was so saddened to see this today. Thoughts and prayers to all of you. I will never forget the smiling face of this man in and outside of the office... all the Mayor's Holiday Charity Fund events etc.
And of course, his love for the Yankees.
God bless and may he rest in eternal peace. May your wonderful memories of him help you through the difficult days.
