Dearest Members of Michaels Family:
It is with a heavy heart that I write this note to you. I went to grammar school and junior high school with Michael Vitelli. My name is Vania May. I stumbled upon his obituary as I was locating services for a family member today.
My hear aches for his passing and I remember him clearly. I hope that in time grace and peace will fill your hearts. He touched my life and I am humbled that I have his memory.
For his children I wish them peace to their loss. For I also have lost my children's father to Brain Cancer. My children were 3 and 8, and 7 years later our days are always different. I send you my sincerest sympathy's and god's blessings.
Vania May from Orangeburg, NY
