It's hard to believe that it's been 8 years. I didn't know Michael but I know what this is like to say goodbye too soon. I just want to say that I think of him and his brothers Jimmy and Brian often. Wishing you grace and sending my love to my old friends.

To the Lynch Family,
You all have my deepest sympathies. I knew Mike very wellfor the past 13 years. I will always appreciate his hard work ethic, his sense of humor and his love of all the animals. Most importantly, as a close friend of Diane Baratono's, I will especially appreciate how much Mike and Diane meant to each other and leaned on each other through good times and bad.
Rest assured, he will certainly be missed.
