My heart goes out all his family. Tommy left a previous messsage about the closeness of our families. I have so many fond childhood memories of Michael and the Sweeney Family. I used to have a big crush on him in third grade. I even put my hand threw a window to save him from getting thrown in the pool. Lots of Love
