Mikey, mikey...I don't even know where to start. You were my best friend since the day I was born, mom always told me how you always wanted to hold me and play with me even when I was sleeping. You were such a great big brother! We were best buds and did everything together. I remember always playing with toy cars and legos with you. You taught me how to ride a bike. I'm so heart broken that I don't get to share our adult adventures together but I know youll always be looking out for me. Mom pointed out to me that your in heaven watching my lil baby and I'm here watching your lil girl:) I thought that was a nice thing to think about. I Love you big brother, youll be in my thoughts everyday till the day we meet again...

My thoughts and prayers go out to all who knew and loved Mike. Even though I only knew Mike a short time through work at WCU, it was easy to see what a nice young man he was – so friendly and helpful, full of energy and a warm smile. He will truly be missed, but never forgotten.

To the Orsini family--
Our deepest regrets on the passing of your son Michael. Our daughter Alishia was always in his classes in school and graduated with him. Everyone always thought they were related since they both had the same last name. We never found out if your family was from Philly like our Orsini's were. We are deeply sorry to hear of your great loss of your son!

I met Mike one day as chased me on his cycle and I was in my BMW MZ3 roadster. It was a fun chase through a small piece of West Chester. He surprised me when I parked in front of my house and he pulled in behind me. We talked for a few minutes and he drove off. But I recognized his picture and want to send or say something in his behalf. May God rest his soul and everyone left greving with special consideration going to Amanda and Isabella and his wonderful parents. I say wonderful because they had to be to have such a wonderful son. God Bless...

Dear Michael, I'am your Great Aunt Betty, although I never had the pleasure of meeting you in life, I found out at your funeral, that you were loved and cherished by all. Your Grandfather is my brother and your father is my nephew who I love dearly.
My family and your Dad spent many happy summers together in Wildwood and he was always my favorite nephew. Now that you are gone, he is unconsolable, but Isabella
who is a part of you, will help him heal. You will live on in the hearts of everyone who loved you and Isabella will be told what a wonderful father you were.
Your Mother once wrote a message to you,"LIVE BEFORE DYING" and you did to the fullest. I know that you are looking down on usbut never worry , because Amanda and all of the family will forever take care of your daughter.

To Michael's parents and extended family,
I did not know Michael as a young man, but remember him fondly as a little second grader. He was bright, humorous, shy, and attentive. He happily came into class each day ready to be a part of our little community of learners. I have often thought of him over the years, and I am so very sad to have been given this news of your loss. I promise you I will keep Michael, his daughter, and you, his loving family, in my prayers.
Sincerely,
