Dear Michael,
There will be an empty chair at the Thanksgiving table, but loving memories of your caring spirit will fill the hearts of all those lives you've touched, and we will hold you close in our hearts and memories forever.
Pray for us, Michael, as we hold you too, in our hearts and prayers. God's peace be with you.
Love,
Aunt Nancy & Uncle John

Michael, Michael what can I say
God sent you to me. I tried to guide you on your way, your kind and generous with a heart of gold. But you didn't like rules or what to be told. If you had a dollar you would give it away, so some poor soul could eat that day. You were never greedy and always shared what you had with no money in your pocket that at times it made you sad. God gave you talent with the music you loved, you were just waiting for your chance as you prayed to god above. Your torchered soul was so sad at times but still you never lost your faith. You said Jesus still loved you with all his grace, you always said if I make it big I will take care of my family to all I will give.But bad times took over and you were worried and so sad, but we all still loved you no matter what you had. You still made us laugh even though you were blue, and we loved you so much I know that you knew. We just wanted you to stay we wanted you to live, your presence was what we wanted you to give. But Jesus you loved so much didn't want you to suffer no more. So he took your hand and led you to heavens door. I know your happy now even though all of our hearts break, so we just have to wait untill our souls God will take. well goodbye my dear Michael my son and good friend, I'll be waiting for God to let me see you again.
Love always, Mom, Karen, Lisa and Steve

Rose, I would NEVER think of not coming. I am so sorry that you lost your baby. My heart truly goes out to you. Sorry I could not stay. I had chest and stomach pain from nerves and it took everything I had to even walk in the door. I've been praying for you and Mike. Pray the rosary for him everyday. Your tears are prayers too. Give yourself time to heal and you will find peace in your heart again one day. Trust God. With Him we have everything. Without Him, we have nothing. No Jesus, no peace. Know Jesus, know peace.
May God bless and be with you, especially during your hour of sorrow.
Love,
Nancy

This is for you uncle Mike
"Saint peter won't you open up the big white gate
Cause i heard about forgiveness and i hope it ain't too late
I ain't no holy roller but you go tell your king
That all the folks up in heaven might like to hear me play"
Love you uncle Mike...

Dear Rose,
What a tragedy, that Mike's life ended so young. No parent should have to lose their child. My heart truly goes out to you. As long as your cherished memories live on in your heart, so too, shall Mike live on forever, until one day, you're reunited with him in heaven. Be strong and keep the faith.
With Love & Deepest Sympathy,
Nancy & John

Mike, you inspired the words on my departure plaque form Navy Band Atlantic Fleet. -"Who's Amazed?" . I'm pretty sure everyone knew who was responsible for the phrase. Here's to you, someone who was never comfortable in a comfortable spot. Always pushing the limits, meanwhile, inspiring others to do the same unknowingly. Life was not sitting still for you. Thank you for the very short time that I spent with you.

I served with Mike in the Atlantic Fleet Band for over 3 years. In fact, we graduated from navy music school on the same day. We packed up and moved over across town to the atlantic fleet band together in his white car. We also, went on tour together in South America for almost 5 months playing music all around South American countries!! DD-989 USS O'bannon. "Strike Shamrock!!" One St. Pats i won't soon forget is when he and i drove up to CT from Va Beach. I can tell you that those of us who served with Mike often tell great stories about the great times we had with him. Rest in peace Mike. Oh, and i still make chick parm the way you taught me! Rest.

God Mike. I can't believe this. I am happy I had the chance to talk to you recently...always the kind of friend that we could go years and talk as if no time had passed. You always lived life large and no regrets. You had a way of putting things in perspective like noone I have ever known. I love you and miss you. I only wish I could have seen you one last time. Rest in peace my friend.

My dear Mike,
My heart feels like an empty hole.Your time on earth was too short but you knew when God called you, you would be ready. The rest of us were not. You always knew how to make everyone around you laugh. You made the ugly things look beautiful, the sad things look happy and the hard times look easy. You made my world a happier place.I will miss you and keep you in my heart forever. My deepest condolences to all who loved you and especially your loving mother, sisters and brother and the love of your life Jennifer.

Hey Mikey,
I still remember the very first day I met you; you were riding your bike in the driveway. You were a little cute tough kid with a big heart. I could not believe that the little kid I once knew was playing the Sax like he was Clarence Clemons. You played your heart out at Karen's wedding. I was so proud of you. I can still hear you.
Mikey, when you see George give him one of your great big hugs for me.
Mikey, look after your family from above, help them through another day. I will miss you, until we meet again.
Rose, Karen, Lisa, & Stevie I am so very sorry. My prayers are with you.
May God Bless you Always.
Love Always
Jeannie
