Dear Mary Ellen and family,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss, and I can't imagine how difficult your dad's death has been for you all, particularly because it came so suddenly. I hope you can find comfort in all the great times you have had together and in knowing that he was a good man who lived well and loved his family. Please know that many people want to support you, and don't hesitate to reach out when you need.
My prayers are with you all, and please extend my condolences to your mother and your sister. I am so, so sorry.

Still can't believe Mike is gone.It was my pleasure to meet Mike when I started working with him on the overnight shift in Quincy back in 1985. We left Quincy in 1998 and started working in Braintree. It was during this time that every few months we would leave work early and go to Foxwoods. Win or loose,if you were with Mike, it was a good time. And anyone who knew Mike at all,were also familiar with the names Joanne, Mary-Ellen, and Michelle. He loved his family very much. On behalf of Joanne and myself,our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Rest in Peace Mike, you will surely be missed

Dear Bavaro Family~I am still in shock and cannot believe that Mike is gone from this earth. I worked with him at the Quincy post office and when the Braintree building opened, we both transferred over, so I've known him for 25 years. He was a good and dedicated man, who was loved by many. Rest In Peace, Mike. I will truly miss you.You were taken too soon.

Eternal rest grant unto our brother Michael, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine him. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in eternal peace. Almighty Father, source of forgiveness and salvation, grant that Michael's family and friends who at this time are grieving, through the intercession of the Blessed Trinity, the Blessed Virgin Mary and of all the saints, receive strength, are comforted, and share in the many good memories that Michael gave us in his life. May we know that on that appointed day when we are called home to be with the Lord, that Michael will be there to greet us and seat us at the table that has been prepared and relief us of our grief, our tears, and our sadness we feel now. We ask through Christ our Lord. Amen.
To all of the Bavaro family, including Joanne, Mary Ellen and Michelle, your Sacred Heart family grieves with you. Please do not hesitate to call upon us. We will do whatever we can to get you through this sad time. We love you all and we grieve with you.

To the Bavaro family my deepest sympathy, I worked with Mike for 20 years and he was always a pleasure to be around. A wonderful person. He will be sorely missed by many at the Braintree DMU including myself.
