Mike, I was deeply sadden and at the same time happy, sad that you are not with us any longer yet happy for the time and prescence of your company. I know you left a warm spot with everyone you came in contact with, i remember many times we had fun, and laughed, and discussed many subjects from construction to music, you had many talents, friends and interests and a zest for life. I always enjoyed hangin with you for our morning coffee's, playing the guitar and learning chords from you, you continue to leave your warmth on people to this day, always in my heart as a dear, close friend.

I left Oakland 13 yrs ago but when I heard of Mike's passing from Treasa, I was sad, but the thing I remember about Mike is his laughter. He was always a kind and caring person. Mike may you rest in peace.

Mike, I used to worry about how hard you worked, and how cold it got in the winter sometimes when you worked outside, and I used to wonder who would take care of you when you needed someone. I'm so glad you found Doreen, so glad you found your love and your warmth before you had to leave here.

Miss you, big brother.

As I said at the memorial, you could ask a hundred people what a good man is, and they would give you a hundred answers. But if you asked them if Mike Cedor was a good man, they would all say yes.

Dearest Mike- Thank you for always being such a great friend in times of emergency! You Totally Rock!!! I will miss you and always hold our friendship dear in my Heart!! Thanks for all your hard work , and for helping me to build an awesome building- the very first building I ever physically built. Because you became a contractor at age 45, I knew that it was O.K. for me to do the same. Thanks for loving music so much,and for playing music with me over the years and for just being such a loving mellow guy who totally respected women as well as men. You are always a part of my family!! I already miss you TONS! Thanks for being so non-judgemental of others- instead you would just laugh and wish people well. What a guy! Your sister FOREVER!!!

Oh Mikey! What a good good man you were! I am so saddened by your passing but am glad you are no longer suffering. You always helped anywhere you could and were such a lover to animals. I always admired you. Doreen, you are in my thoughts.
