So sad to hear that Mike has passed --- sending our prayers and best wishes to the all of the Franks! Mike had a unique personality and just thinking of him brings and immediate smile not diminished at all by the years that have gone by. If you close your eyes and let your mind wander back 50 years or so -- we are all on Salem Road running through yards, screaming, yelling, laughing and driving the surrounding neighbors nuts! It was a time of life that none of us can ever forget -- pure joy and camaraderie --and Mike was a part of those memories that endure forever. Our love and prayers are with you and we are fully confident that Mike is with the Lord and in His grace and peace for all time. The Coolahan Family

If you wanted a friend or family member who brought a smile every time you saw them then Michael was your guy. Michael saw life as an adventure and everyone he met as someone he could bring a smile to their face. His family will miss him dearly but know he's in a better place and now with our family who have gone before us and everybody is smiling...RIP Michael, thanks for the memories.
