Michael Cantillo Memoriam

Michael Anthony Cantillo

September 20, 1968 - October 8, 2003

It's hard to believe ten years have passed since you left us. It's even harder to believe you're gone. We will never forget October 8th. We relive that day over and over again. Who knew God was calling you home that afternoon. If life we loved you dearly; in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you; you did not go alone; for part of us went with you, the day God called you home. We know that your Brother was there to to meet you at Heaven's Gate. We all have our favorite memories of you we share when we are all together. We miss hearing you voice. Although we cannot see you we know you're at our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same; but as God calls us one by one;

the Chain will link again.

We love you now and always. Mom, Dad and Family
