I had a web site about Laryngeal cancer. Mike contacted me and we met for lunch to discuss his condition .That meeting turned into a great friendship.I introduced him to the New voice club where he met Dick Thompson. They had very similar cancer problems and became very good friends. I enjoyed his blog..Never new he had such talent.
My deepest sympathy to the family in these most trying times
My Fiance Bobbi Dick also expresses her deepest sympathy.
We will miss him.

Mike and I became friends by way of a common problem. We both were members of the New Voice Club of the Niagara Frontier. This organization helped us cement a relationship that I will always cherish. His blogs showed me a side of Mike that I was not aware of. His photos and short stories are outstanding. My sympathy to the Didion family

I am so very sorry to hear of Mike's passing. I know he had battled his cancer for quite sometime. I can just say that I was one of the lucky ones to have known mike and to have had him a part of my life. Please know that I am thinking of you all and my prayers are with you through your difficult time. Love and Miss all of you.

We were so sorry to hear about Mike. I first met your Dad 42 yrs ago. Was so glad we got to know each other again when he stayed w/ us. Had alot of good talks, alot about you kid's, and his wonderful,beautiful grandchild!
I admired his spirit and his reaching out and grabbing life so totally.I know he felt very conflicted about what he was doing. Know he spoke of all of you often to me and loved you all very much.
We did have a good time while he was here,talking about the good old days when we still lived in NY.
Hoping that peace will soon fill your thought's and heart's,

Dear Didion Family,
I was greatly sorry to hear of Mike's passing. We all had some good times as kids what with "white arm" and all. My fondest memory of Mike is him chasing Pam Helbrecht and me down goodrich road to our house and throwing a snake at me as I raced to the safety of our kitchen only to have the darn thing land at my feet on the kitchen floor. Thank goodness for Pam as she coolly picked it up and threw it back outside. Then there was ice skating on the creek behind Geib's and swimming in the summer months yet another snake episode comes to mind. He was a great guy and although we had not seen each other in many years I kept up on the comings and goings of all the Didion kids. God Bless you all. God Bless Mike!
"Maybe they are not stars but tiny holes in the heavens for our love ones to look down upon us."
Peace, Darlene Filarecki Feinen and family, Doc and MaryJane Filarecki
