Been a long time since we met. Sad to hear of the early passing. My thoughts are with you all. While I only met Michael for a short time many years ago, I still have a lasting impression of a kind and caring person.
Aidan, cousin.

Karen, Marrisa, Alanna,Kieran,Peg and Mr & Mrs Daly:

I was stunned to hear the news about Mike's passing.
Kieran, I had the privilege of meeting your brother for the first time at your wedding.
I was lucky enough to meet up again with Mike at a family Christmas party when I lived in Rochester.
I remember how easy it was to talk with Mike and what a sincere guy he was.
We will continue to pray for your family.
Sincerely,
John, Ruth, Gabriella State

Karen, Marrisa, Alanna, Kieran and family,

We are shocked and saddened to hear of Mike's passing. David and I had just spoken to him. We have been friends/clients since 1980, even
though we moved away in 1994, we couldn't quite cut the bond we had with Mike.

We will miss him so much, especially his great laugh!

Our deepest sympathy to you all.

Kieran and Peggy and the Daly family.I only met Mike a few times but as big as Kieran was Mike always seemed like his bigger more serious brother.My condolences.I found this last stanza of a Yeats poem "And bending down besides the glowing bars,Murmur,a little sadly,how Love fled -And paced upon the mountains overhead-And hid his face amid a crowd of stars."

Karen, Alanna, and Marissa; Phyllis and Pat; Kieran and Peg ---
I'm saddended beyond words. All I can say is that Mike was one of the absolute finest people I've ever had the honor and pleasure of knowing. I've always felt very much as if he was my brother. The same goes for you, Kieran. Mike once said to me, "I'd love to just go out to the Aran Islands and sit on a hilltop and stare at the sea." He was always such a deep-thinking man.

I share, with all the Daly family, today's deep sorrow, but I am certain that the pleasant memories of Mike's life will far and forever outweigh the hurt of his passing.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam, Miceal.

We were shocked and saddened to hear about Mike's death. He will be remembered as a great man who always had a smile on his face and who spoke so lovingly and proudly about his family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, and may God be a source of comfort and strength to all of you. Mike will be missed by not just his family and friends but by everyone whose lives he has touched. You have our deepest sympathy.

What a shock this is. Mike was one of the kindest, most understanding gentlemen I have ever had the honor of knowing. The loss of his life has created a loss in my life.
Karen, Alana, and Marissa: Please accept my deepest condolences. One of the greatest lessons I have learned in recent years came from Mike in that you have to put your family and your life first. The loving bond of your family is great testament to this wonderful man. Mike's legacy will live on.
Many blessings to all of you.
