11 YEARS LATER,...and I still feel the sting of his death. Yes, I miss my older brother so much, that I just try to not think about it, or the tragic loss it was for so many, starting with his 8 kids & 1 step-son with his first & second wives, Ms. Christine Dwyer Langdon, of Galt, Ca., AND the beautiful, loving, graceful, & tenacious Susan Langdon, of Cebu City, Philippines.
Yes, we all miss you, Michael,...BUT KNOW NOW- MORE THAN EVER- THAT NOT ONLY ARE YOU IN THE 'KINGDOM' ITSELF, AND ARE JOINED NOW BY NOT ONLY MOM, UNCLE BOB, CASE, UNCLE LARRY, AND SO MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE SINCE 'PASSED ON' TO THE 'PROMISED LAND' {H~E~A~V~E~N},...BUT ALSO BY OUR BABY BROTHER, PAUL, AND OTHERS WE BOTH KNEW IN THIS LIFE,...AND THAT WE ULTIMATELY KNOW, FOR SURE~ INDEED~ THAT ALL IS TRULY GOOD, AND THAT WE WILL ALL BE TOGETHER ONE DAY AGAIN==> FOR SURE!!!

Michael was my brother. I loved his so much. He was so loving, kind, compassionate, accepting of others, and so dedicated in his love for God, Christ, and the Blessed Mother, Mary, Jesus' mom.
He was SUCH a committed and sincere son, brother, nephew, cousin, husband, father, and friend to all those who knew him; there was absolutely NOTHING phony about this guy.
I will miss him more than any words in English, or any language- for that matter- could ever convey.
Michael, be at peace, and- please- come to us (especially to your beautiful wife, Susan, and to mom) with your presence, and in our dreams, and KNOW that I definitely look forward to seeing and being with you again one day.
One last thing==> SUSAN~&~CHRIS; JEFF, BRETT, KELLY, ANDREW, MARY, ANN, JOSEPH, THERESE, & JANE==> Michael {and Nanny, and Bob, and Case, & Paul, &...} are really alive,...AND are really there for you,...AND can really be a part of your life- LITERALLY- today, and until the day you yourself die,...AND can/will manifest their reality {and presence} NOT JUST through DREAMS & MEMORIES that remind you of him,...BUT ALSO THROUGH...the most unbelievable~&~uncanny of incidents, reminders, & profound of coincidences.
So, stay tuned, be open, &==> GET READY!
FOR, THE BEST OF TIMES ARE YET TO COME, AND THEY ARE VERY SOON!

I can not express our sorrow at hearing about my good friend Mike. His passing leaves us with an empty place in our lives. Our hearts go out to his wife Susan and his children and his mother Jane and family.

My best friend for many years. Michael could always close the toughest deals that others denied. He was the very best. He always had a good time in life. Taught me a lot about religion and government. Taught me a lot about being a loyal friend. I still don't know how you could walk so much farther and faster than me when we were trying to lose weight on Spring St.though. Awesome being there when you brought that man to Jesus in the restaurant! That was beautiful man, and quite amazing to everyone who saw it. You were unafraid to spread the word of God in public! You were more zealous than I could ever hope to be.Jane, he is a good man. My best to you always. Thank you Michael for many, many, good times and memories.

To Paul and the entire Langdon Family, my heartfelt condolences for the loss of your loved one, Michael. I knew Mike for years in the mortgage lending business and Paul since he was a youngster and dear Jane we worked at the hospital together. Never a dull moment and always upbeat. My thoughts and prayers are with each and every one of you.

Michael was my friend. And, Michael was the BEST, most passionate mortgage lender I have ever known....I appreciated his dediction, tenacity and work ethic! He took the good with the bad, returned calls, and never let me down; never!
Although it's been a long time since then, and a lot of water has passed under the bridge; good times and bad times for Mike, I will always have a soft spot in my heart for him.
May you rest in peace Michael.
