I am so sorry for the loss of my first cousin.. I want to remember all the good times when we were little Uncle George driving all 10 kids in the station wagon, to go see our Grandmother and Grandfather around Christmas time! We laugh and had so much fun. Michael you were always smiling and happy, and that is the way I will remember you forever! You will forever be in my heart! Love your Cousin Suzanne
