To Vito and his family... How sorry I was to read about the loss of your son. It is something no parent should have to experience and only those of us who have had that loss know how painful and difficult it is. My Jim has been gone over 25 years and it's a loss you never really get over. I wasn't sure I would make it after he died but family, friends, and faith helped get me through it and today he lives in my heart--he is with me always as your Michael is with you. Vito, you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time. Take very good care of yourselves. Much love...

I have been on here a few times thinking of what to write. Words can not describe how much I will miss you. We got very close in a short amount of time. You would always tell me how you were so glad we had met and how you wished we had met sooner. I find comfort in the fact that we had lots of laughs and love during our time together. Work wont be the same without your smiling face, movie night wont be the same without you cuddling next to me and my heart wont be the same because it will always be missing you. It has been so nice to meet the family you would always talk so highly of, I just wish we had met them under different circumstances. My heart breaks for them. I will never forget you and I will always love you my amazing friend.

It was hard to say goodbye to you my friend. I still don't know what I will do with you not here. Life will certainly not be the same without you. I will do my best to help look after your family. For they are now mine as well. You will forever be in my heart. Love and miss you Mikey!!!!

To Linda,Vito and the entire O'Leary /Panzini Family:
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.

To My Brother:
I've gone on here a few times in hoping I would find the courage to write to you. It seemed that every time I went to write something I couldn't get the words out! We are all having such a difficult time believing you are really gone. I personally am struggling so much inside, but trying to be strong for mom and dad! I know you wouldn't want us sad or upset.
As I read everything about you either what friends have wrote on Facebook, in texts, or on the phone I hope you have been listening and know how much you inspired so many people and more importantly how much you were LOVED! It wasn't just your family who loved you....
The other day everyone was over and your friends from fed ex came over and we laughed, cried, and told stories of your life and they shared stories they had. It was the first time
I saw mom and dad smile. It was so comforting hearing them! They were true friends and loved you dearly! I feel like iam Just talking.
I just wanted to have the chance to say good-bye, but the last memory I have of you was Christmas you were so happy with your family and especially with the 100$ scratch ticket you won!!!!! Iam
Dreading tomorrow and Wednesday but know it will hopefully help us all know you are at peace! Todd, Tuukka and I will never forget you! We love you dearly and we will let Hadley help us get through these difficult times! I can't wait to tell her all about her uncle and how excited you were to meet her and love her! Please watch over us all especially mom and dad!
Until we meet again brother.
Love you always and forever,

No words can express the pain and sadness we are all experiencing. Mikey's passing was sudden and it has affected all that loved him. He loved his friends and family and the outpouring of support and love only show how many people loved him. This is a difficult time. I try and tell myself to smile bc Mikey would not want us sad. We were lucky to
Know him and even more so to have been loved by him. MVP. Always and forever.

Our hearts are broken. There are no words that can take away our pain. There are many unanswered questions, but what's most important is knowing Michael is at peace. He is now up in heaven with many loved ones. To know Michael, was to love him. He always put others first, always right there with a helping hand, and of course a great big hug. Knowing Michael, he would not want us to be sad, or suffering with pain. Michael was one of a kind, a true gentleman, that's how he was raised. He will always be Panzini/O'Leary strong.
I will forever miss and love him, and Michael will always, always have a special place in my heart. Our hearts are heavy, but we will get through this together, as family was most important to Michael.
Until we meet again my cousin, I'll love and miss you forever
