I was unaware of Mike's passing and want to extend Doreen's and my sympathy to you Barb and the girls. It has been a number of years since we have seen each other. I apologize for the birthday wish not knowing of his passing. May God bless all of you! Doreen and I have many fond memories of times we all spent together with basketball, and ladies softball at CHS.

Mr. Hallinan was so devoted to his family...I will always remember his love for all those the ladies in his life; he was out numbered but never alone in the Hallinan house. He loved his grandkids dearly and history as well. I know he is educating those above as we speak. My heart is heavy for Mrs. Hallinan, Beth, Susan and Katie but I hope they can find comfort in all their amazing memories.

Beth, Susan- so sorry to hear about your dad. He seemed like a really good guy the few times I met him. And, of course, we know he must have been because he raised some good people. Give my best to your mom, sister, and kids.

Uncle Mike, you were always so good with all the kids, and treated Nicole like she was your granddaughter, you took her fishing, we colored Easter eggs, made Christmas cookies, saw the tree and had lunch at the Walnut room. These are all memories that Nicole and I will cherish. Thank you for being such an amazing uncle, we love you so much!

Mike was a very special nephew of mine. I prayed that I would go first; but God obviously didn't agree. However, he cannow do for his family what Uncle Jim does for us: protect us, care for us, guide us, keep us out of trouble.

You called me your 4th Daughter and I called you my Dad...life sure isn't going to be the same without you, but I am so glad you aren't suffering anymore! Mike, I loved you with all my heart and I cherished all of our time together! Barbara was your Angel watching over you all these years and now you are her Angel watching over her and your family!
