Dear Sue,
My thoughts and prayers continue to be with you, Ryan and Geoffrey. I was so happy to have been able to spend time with you all, and to finally meet Michael this summer. I still laugh when I think of some of the things he said, and smile when I thoughts turn to the fun we had on the deck and in the pool. When on the Cape, I was awed by the amount of people Michael touched in his life, and the admiration and love they held for him. I am grateful to be able to count myself among them. Michael's warmth, compassion, and positive approach to life was a blessing, and continues to set an example to us all.
Please know that you and the family are always in my heart.
Greg

Sue,
Tyler and I are sending you and the boys a big hug. So glad we were able to see you all this summer.
We are all very sad and want you to know we say a special prayer for you and the boys every night.
I have such fond memories of the kids swimming and Michael being as funny as he was when I first met him.
Take care.
You are in our prayers.
Love,
Mary & Tyler

Dear Sue,
I had a dream the other night where you were six again (I still 40), and I was holding you in my arms and very close, protecting you. I wish I could do that for you now. Certainly God and Michael are up to the task but know that I am here too.
Thanks for bringing Michael and the Noonans into our lives.
Love,
me

Susie and Family,
So sorry to hear of your loss. My Mom (your Aunt Sheila) called me last night to tell me that Michael had died. I never had the chance to get to know him-and Susie I haven't seen much of you in the past years-since we were kids...but I do feel your pain and sorrow and the loss your going through. God will carry you and the boys through this...and Michael is no longer in pain. It brings back the immense feelings of loss I felt when Ricky died-but God needs more angels in Heaven. Wish I could be there for the services but I do want you to know that I am thinking of all of you and will be praying along in spirit on Saturday. Love to all of you,
Robin

Dear Noonan Family:
Let me share ths with you. It comforted me when I lost a loved one and the pain seemed unbearable. My prayers and thoughts are with you.
I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.
Then someone at my side says, "There, she is gone!"
"Gone where?"
Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just as the moment someone at my side says, "There, she is gone!" there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout. "here she comes!"
And that is dying.

Dear Sara and family,
Dick and I were so sorry to hear about your brother Michael. There are no words to ease the pain but if there was a magic formula it would be yours. Our thoughts and prayers are with you always.
Love to you all.
