Dear Mike,
I know how much you will be missed. You were loved deeply by your family and you will never be out of their thoughts. Life on this earth is tentative and brief. We pray that we will all be with you again in a future existence without pain or suffering. Until then, wait for us and know that not a day will go by without a thought or memory of you and how you touched our hearts and our lives. You are in the very best place and free from your pain. Now rest in peace in the beauty of heaven. Love your future sister in law, Lynn

Roger and Mary,

Sorry to hear of the passage of Michael. Think the last time I saw him may have been at his wedding many years ago. I still remember him as a little kid. You guys got married on my 8th birthday and Robert gave me a bike. We really should keep in touch. I found out about Michael through Mary, Patty and originally,Avis.

Mike,

You were, are and will forever be a great brother. I've looked up to you my entire life and I'm proud to tell you that. I really looked up to you. You always had great friends and pretty girl friends - and wife, of course. I think you were nice to everyone and everyone seemed to really like you back.

I have so many great memories of our lives together. Losing to you at every sport isn't one of them, however. I'll always envy your golf swing and how you were better than I was at every sport we played.

I hope you play Heaven's Pebble Beach for the rest of time, every day breaking 80.

I love you, brother. Always will.

Bob

Random Memories- Walking to school picking up Speer, Bake, Hoff, Donny, Strouse, and you on the way to Cumberland; hoops in the backyard, playing hearts and spades 4th, 5th or 7th period and well into the evening when we weren't playing hoops, and of course doughnuts on the beach at Daytona. I'm going to miss ya buddy.
