Hi Michael,
Friday will mark 13 years since you left us. Doesn't seem possible. I miss you and think of you often...your wit, your kindness, your selfless nature, your musings on string theory... I just plain miss you dear friend.
Thank you for the message of the white hawk. Knowing you arrived safely made it easier.
Sending you love...Debbie

Hi Michael,
Been missing you an awful lot lately but manage to muddle through. I thank you for the many wisdoms shared about life and family. I use them every day. Max is well, happy and being very loved by Kelly and Julia. He even has a little feline friend who is his napping buddy...never thought I'd see the day. Just thought you would want to know that.
Not a day goes by there isn't a reminder of you. I love you and miss you.
Till later...Deb

Uncle Mike,
It has been 3 weeks since you passed and every day you bring tears and smiles to my face. I keep memories of us at the forefront of my mind such as, you teaching me to drive at age 12, listening to BlueGrass music together at the Rooney, and much more.
As you always said to me "You Are A Good Man".
Love,
Mark

Mike,
The memories of out trip to Carmel by the Sea, Monterey, the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, our various conversations about your life, religion, your reasons why we need to stick together, and your thoughts about life after death, will never leave me. Your cooking was not too bad; however, I am glad you stopped. If I have to sum you up as a person, this is what I will say, “You are a very private person with a lot of Heart.”
In closing, yes, I am your friend forever.

Uncle Mike,
I had a lot of fun getting to know you while you were in California. We had some good times and some rough ones, but i truly believe you brought our family together in your own way. I will always remember the stories you shared with me and some lessons i learned from them. And i'll never forget our crossword puzzles when i was a kid. I love you and will miss you.
Say hi to grandma and dad for me. I'll be seeing you someday.
Love always and forever,
Molls

Dear Giblin Family,
I received an email from cousin Bernie Walker that Michael had passed. I have fond memories of Michael when I was younger living in Binghamton, sitting talking to Michael for hours. I always will remember him. Please accept my deepest sympathy on the passing of your brother. May God Bless your family.
Sincerely,
Mary Walker

Michael always had a kind word for me during our high school days at CCHS. And he certainly had his own unique way of roofing the Geneganslet cottage! My sympathies are with you all, especially coming so soon after Rita's passing. Susan

Cousin's, I was shocked to hear of
Micheal's death. I had called the
house the night of aunt Rita's wake
and Michael answered the phone. I
just told him I was so sorry for the
loss of you Mom but I had no idea
Michael was that sick, He never let on.
May his soul and all the souls of
the faithful departed rest in peace
amen. Phil Sue and Brian

I will miss Michael greatly and carry him in my heart forever. He was a trusted and loyal friend who loved me unconditionally. I feel blessed to have witnessed the love and care of his family for him and he for them. That is eternal. My prayers for healing are with them as they endure this devastating loss so soon after the loss of their beloved mother, Rita.
Michael is finally truly free and at peace.

Michael,
You are now in a better place. My condolences to the Giblin family. These past few weeks have not been the best. May Michael be welcomed in paradise by the angles and martyrs. May he have eternal rest with the once-poor Lazurus. May the God of Mercy hold him in His Hand. May God give you all the strength and the grace to go forward in life, May God Bless you one and all!
