Dear Jackie, Genie, Pal, and Denise,
Our deepest sympathies on the loss of our dear Michael. I just heard the news today, and I was saddened to hear about the cancer. He sure battled it for quite some time. Pal and Genie, God bless you for contacting me. Back in the 70's and 80's, even in the 90's we sure tried to relieve the stress of everyday life. We will always have those memories of good, old friends. We will see you again soon, Mike. Until then, Mike, you are in our hearts. Peace and hope to all family and friends of Mike. We love you. Love, Mary Ann, Teresa, and Thad Tomaszewski

Daniel, Gene, Ms. Sinagra, and Denise:
My deepest sympathies on your loss of Michael. Though I had not seen in him in over 30 years, I have not forgotten his kindness, respect and gentle nature. He was a gentle soul with kind eyes and a heart of gold.
May he rest peacefully with God and may you be comforted by the memories you shared. My prayers are with you all.
