To the entire Paronish Family:
(Especially Mom and Dad Paronish and Michelle)

I came home Friday evening myself because my mom was not feeling well and now they think she may have had a heart attack. We are awaiting results of many tests. I was just devastated when I heard of your tragedy losing Mike. I will always treasure the memories we had in high school hanging out with Michelle and your family at your house. Mike would always be around with a smile and teasing us when we played cards. I read what a fine young man he is married to a nice wife and three fine children. How active he was on the school board and with wrestling. And how hard he worked too. Yes it will be a loss but I try to remember the happy times somehow the happy times seem to make the rough times just a little easier. Thinking of you today and always....you are all in my prayers and never forgotten even though I am away and living in Latrobe with my son and husband.

I have known Mike as a student, a young man and a married man.

Mike always had the initative and the burning desire to excel in whatever he started. He was a professional and wanted things to be right yet being compassionate.

I can remember when I was game manager for NC wrestling and Mike would help me even though he was very busy getting the match set up. He would look at me and say, "anything for you, Mr. Cantalupo" and "by the way, how do you think our team is progressing. He always involved people and made them part of the sport.

My wife Maria and I extend our condolences to Pam and the children for their heartfelt loss.

God Bless.
Mr. and Mrs. Gennaro Cantalupo

My prayers are with you at this time of great loss. I grew up in Watkins with the Paronish family. Mike was a very special person. I was formerly Mary Puleo. My grandmother and Mikes grandmother were close for years. I remember like it was yesterday building tree houses in the woods,even when we were told not too. Mike was very good friend. God Bless All Of You.
