My sincerest and heartfelt sympathy to Michael's family for your great loss. I came to know Michael through one of his Doctors, and over the years he became very dear to my heart. He was a gentleman and a gentle man, and his courage and strength were just a few of his admirable traits. I will miss his warm smile and bright blue eyes.
God bless you, Mike
Chris

Dad:

We would like to thank Mom for being the greatest support system. It was difficult enough losing you, but Mom made everything right again as you knew she would. A true mother-who considered our feelings first. Love Mike, Helena, Steven, and Kenny Romaniw.

Michael:

The most treasured gift of all you gave me, was our four children, Michael, Helena, Steven, and Kenny. They each possess a part of you and me in them. Every time I look at them, and see them laugh, cry, become angry or sad, I see you in them. And from our children, they gave us five beautiful grandchildren, Joshua, Brian, Joseph, Michael, and our first grand-daughter, little Mya, the baby you hung on so long for, to see her born. And we'll have great grand-children some day, and you'll live on and on. Everyday I thank you for this wonderful gift, for you have made my life richer in every way-a treasure that no money could buy. Thank you Mike. Joy

Mike, indeed he loved to have fun! To party , to be surrounded with great people, family, friends.
Mike..... embrace the freedom of flight. The joy of weightlessness, now liberated into the light. We all look forward to you greeting us when we get there too. You were the kind of person who touched people in subtle ways, often unnoticed, caring in your own unique way. You have co-created beautiful children and grandchildren, so, indeed, your essence and spirit lives on in them. Be held in love. Blessings to you Mike, and to all those who love you.

Although we were in-laws, I have always loved Mike as much as my own cousins. I'll always remember all the good times we had together at work and for pleasure, especially fishing. I'll miss him with all of my heart, but I know we'll fish again someday. Our thoughts and prayers are with Lois, Michael, Helena, Steven, Kenny, Joy, and family.

Love,
