Dear Michael, Just sitting around and thinking about you and Lou in heaven and the following dawned on me. You have always been the leader of the family. It is only appropriate that you should have a title. So the best I can come up with is "GODFATHER". I have also decided that you and mom should also be in charge of all the Aschieris, Gallos, Rileys, and all the Stiglmeiers. Speak with God about them and keep them all in line. And by the way " GOOD LUCK MIKEY !!!!! "

We talk about you all the time. WWMD ! You are so loved and so missed. You are forever on our minds and in our hearts. Paul and I will soon sing Happy Birthday and I will blow out your candles.

Hi Mike, Soon it will be Fathers Day. You were always and I am sure you continue to be a great Father! You are loved and missed by all especially myself, Vince and Paul. It is so hard not to have you here with us. I can still see you and Vince with your kids and grandkids. I am positive that you are so proud of your family and are praying for them always.

Hi Mike,
Well it is five days before Easter. I am going to Vegas with Tina, Madelyn Grace, Uncle Johnny and Aunt Susan. Paul is having a hard time with his legs and he finds it very hard to walk. I feel so bad about leaving him alone, especially on Easter Sunday. We are having Easter dinner at Vince and Aprils new home. It will be so good to see your brother, along with Vince, Johnny , Caroline, April and all the great grandchildren. I have not seen the kids in over a year.
We so wish you were here. I think about and pray for you all the time. We had a lot of great times together but not nearly enough of them. Paul and I sit some nights and just laugh at some of the many things you did and said. You were a great son, father and brother.
Hey Mike, in June the Big Timers Club will be one hundred years old and they are having a big party. I have my spies and will let you know if it is as great as they say it will be.
I wish to say to you that you are so loved and so missed. HAPPY EASTER MY DARLING SON !
Love Mom and Paul

MERRY CHRISTMAS MICHAEL !
Since heaven has become your home I sometimes feel as if I am all alone. But I know that is not true because I have your brother and all my grandchildren and great grandchildren and we talk about you all the time. We were such a very, very happy family and then you were gone to God. While we are still a happy family a large part of our family and happiness is missed so much. You will always be in our hearts and minds and we talk about you all the time. What would Michael do or say ? You are so missed but you left us with so many great memories and stories. No one will ever forget you. You were and always will be one of a kind and a great one at that. Paul and I talk about you all the time.
All our love always,
Mom and Paul

Our Dearest Michael,
Today is Thanksgiving. Another holiday when you will be sorely missed. Vince is a grandfather again. A little girl weighing nine pounds. ( WOW ) Johnny and Carolina named her Lucille after me. How great an honor is that ? So John & Carolina have two girls now. Tina & Chuck have two girls and a boy and Vince junior & April have two boys and a girl. Eight great grandchildren how lucky can I be ! I can see and smile at all the fun you and Vince would have playing with and spoiling them. I just hope you know how loved and missed you are. Paul says that you are always watching over and praying for them and their parents. You are always on our minds and in all
our prayers.
All our love and prayers always,
Ma & Paul

Hi Mike,
Today is your birthday and you would be sixty-one so Happy Birthday.I still find it hard to believe that you are no longer with us. Not a day goes by when I do not think of you. Everyone tells us it gets easier as time goes by but they are all wrong. Your brother is a grandfather again as Vince and April just had a baby girl and named her Emily and she was ten pounds, six ounces ( WOW )! Johnny' wife Carolina is due in November and they are also having a girl. So Vince will have five grand kids, two boys and three girls. You have five also,three boys and two girls. They are all beautiful angels and all loved so very,very much. You would have had so much fun with all of them as you always had so much love to give. We all know that you watch over and pray for all of them. Mike we all love you and miss you so much. There is not a day that goes by that we are not talking about or reminded of you.
All our love as always,
Mom and Paul

Happy Fathers Day Mike the following is a poem I found and it says, better than I, exactly how I feel about you.
Our hearts will always remember what our hands can no longer touch. And our lives will always have moments when we are missing you so much.
You are both loved and missed so much. You were such a great and loving father. Your daughters were so fortunate having you to shape their lives
Love always,

Happy Easter to our son Michael,
Nine years have passed and we miss you more each year at our Easter Table. You have four grandchildren now and Vince has three and one on the way. I constantly think of all the good times you and Vince would have had together with all the kids. You both made such good fathers. Vince is and you would have been a great grandfather. I know that you are watching over them all. Little Nicholas has your smile. We know you are watching over and praying for them all. It is so sad that you have missed out on so much.Paul says " you would have so enjoyed spoiling the heck out of them ". We all love and miss you so very much. God Bless you.
You always have all our love !

Hi Mike,
MERRY CHRISTMAS! I know that you are so happy where you are especially during this time of year. I just wish I could see your ever-smiling face again. I remember how happy it made you when all your girls did a lot of good things. I remember how thrilled you were when Tina got engaged to Chuck and what a great husband you knew he would be for her.I will always be sad that you had to leave us so soon. A great son, a great brother, a great husband and a wonderfully proud father. We are all so sorry that you missed being here to celebrate your grandchildrens births. They are all so beautiful and so happy. You are so missed and so loved by so many. One day we will all be together. All our hugs, kisses and love are your forever.
Merry Christmas my lovable son,

Hi MIKE,
It is eight years today that you went to God. We are all surprised that He was able to get along without you for so long.You are missed so much. The family never gets together when you are not discussed. Your brother is coming to Buffalo and we are having a mass for you and your Dad. Vince said some of his and your friends are coming to the mass. A day never goes by that Paul and I do not think and talk about you. We laugh a lot about some of the crazy things that you and your brother did. What love we all have for family.Vince can hardly wait to see your grandchildren. Knowing Vince he will probably cry.Madelyn Grace was told she had to clean her room before Uncle Vince comes. Madelyn says she knows Uncle Vince is a " clean freak " and that she is a hoarder. It has been a year since I saw Vince and I can hardly wait ! I am having the family over so that we can all be together.It has been eight years since the family has seen Vince. I am sure that it will be a great week. You can take for granted that in our souls and minds you will be here with us. Some day ( but not
too soon ) we will all be together.
Love you always,
Ma & Paul

Our dear Mike. Your life was a blessing and you are loved and missed beyond words. Family gatherings, though very enjoyable, are missing something important without you! You are missed each and every day and while people say " it gets easier with time " they just do not understand.There is an old adage that states " if people are talking about you twenty-five years after your death then you have gained immortality ". Rest assured my love you are a shoo-in!

Hi Mike,
It is Christmas time and as for the last seven years while you have not been here physically to celebrate with us you are always here in memories and in our hearts. Vince Jr., April, Michael and Joey were here with us and they were so looking forward to snow but we have not had any yet. Do you believe that? They had a great time with Madelyn, Juliana & Nicholas. They did get to go ice skating. They got along so well. You would have been so proud. You always made Christmas special the way it was meant to be, filled with love and kindness. You were the dearest son. We were blessed by having you with us and we pray to Jesus and the Christmas angels to bring you eternal rest and peace.
Love and Merry Christmas,
Ma & Paul

Hi Mike, Happy Thanksgiving.We never think of you as being gone as you live on in the hearts and minds of all those who love you and all those whom your life has touched. Never a day goes by when we do not talk and laugh about all the good and fun times especially at the family get togethers. You and Vince are the best two kids I could have ever hoped for.I am so happy for all the time I had to spend with you even though it was way too short. I have had the most loving and respectful sons any mother could ask for. We were all so happy when we were all together. As your grandkids get older we will tell them what a great man you were, how much you were loved and how happy you made the people around you. All the grand children and great grand children make Paul and I so happy. We are having dinner with Chuck, Tina, the kids and Chucks parents. I know you will be by our sides.
Love you so much,

Hi Mike,
Today is your birthday and it is a sad day for all of us who love and miss you. You are gone from our everyday lives but never from our hearts. It hurts us all so much for all that you have been unable to share with us; your brother with his grand kids, your daughter with your grand kids and all the love and respect they have for you. Your grandchildren will know what a wonderful man you were from their parents. You always made us laugh or at least shake our heads and say " wow ". Mike you left us all way too soon and with a hole in our hearts. We miss you so much and will love you forever.
All our love and prayers

Hi Mike,
It has been seven years since you left us. I live each day with you on my mind and wondering how I will get through it. Then I remember how you told me that I had to do it. You are so loved and missed. You have the most beautiful grand kids who I know you would have loved being with. Just keep watching over them all, keep them safe and pray to God for them.
Love, kisses and miss you so much,

Happy Fathers Day Mike !
We love and miss you. So much going on and so many babies being born into the family. You would just love meeting them all. Your brother is a grandfather to three, two boys and one girl. You have the most grandkids. You would have so much love too share and you would be sure to share it equally. What great two sons we raised and loved. I am always so proud of you and your brother. I am also always so sad not having you here to talk to. I so enjoyed all out talks and so loved all the time we spent together.
We love you so very much.

Hi Mike,
It will soon be Easter Sunday. As always you are missed. I so wish you were with us to be able to spend this day with your grandchildren. They are simply so beautiful. I never saw kids that are so happy and always smiling. You left us to soon and have missed out on so much. But you are no longer in pain which makes me so happy. And as in all things, " Gods will be done "! Mike I do not know if you remember about the penny but I do. I found a penny today as I frequently do. It is said that they are dropped from heaven so that you know your departed loved ones are around and watching over you. Whenever I find pennies I just know they are from you. They really make me smile. Keep them coming. I miss you so very much and remember and love you always. You are always in our hearts and our prayers.
We love you,
Ma & Paul

Hi Mike,
Merry Christmas ! We are having Christmas dinner at Chuck and Tina's home. In two more weeks they will have their baby boy. Two girls and a boy. Wow, what a great family. I know you watch out over all the grandkids, nieces and nephews. I also know that you pray to God for all those you love and who love you.
Vince is teaching Michael to speak Italian. He sent us an anniversary card written in Italian. What a trip he is. He is so happy with his boys, his grandsons and granddaughter. We are as proud of him as we know you are.
We miss you always; your smile and the long talks we had. Paul misses his Saturday morning meetings with you and Vince,
We love you so much !

Hi Mike,
Happy Thanksgiving. All those who love you are especially thankful for the joy and happiness you brought into our lives. I still wait for your phone call though I know it is not going to happen. I so miss the sound of your voice. Missing you is the heartache that will never go away. I do have a lot to be thankful for; a good husband, three grandkids with five beautiful great grandkids with one more in a couple of months.
So much is going on in our family and it is a great feeling to be so lucky.
I talk to Vince a lot and he is so happy. He loves his job, his kids and his grandkids and his life in general. I am so proud of him ! I lucked out and raised two great sons and I am so proud of that.
Miss and love you always,

Hi Mike,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY !
We just got back from Vegas where we got to see our two new Grandkids, Selena and Joseph. They are both so happy and sweet. It was Michaels third birthday already. He is such a polite, good and happy boy. We had such a wonderful time with the kids and Vince, April, Johnny and Carolina. Being with your brother was also great. He has lost so much weight. He looks fantastic and is so happy. His life centers around his boys, their wives and his grandchildren.
Tonight we are going to see Madelyn, Juliana, Chuck and Tina, We have not seen them in three weeks. Boy do we miss them.
You would be so happy to be here with all these kids, they are wonderful. You could really be " Don Michael ".
Vince is a marvelous, marvelous grandfather as surely you would be.
We all love, think and miss you always.
All our love and prayers,

Dearest Mike,
It has been six years ! My heart is full of memories. With pride I speak your name though life goes on without you. But it will never be the same.
I think of and pray for you every day but I am sure you know that.
Madelyn was in a dance recital recently and she looked so beautiful. She did a great job and she gets so excited. She is now getting ready to go back to school. Madelyn was on stage during the recital singing and what a little ham she is. We love going to all her stuff and Julianna sits there and claps. They are both so beautiful and friendly . I am sure you are so proud of them.
They play so good together and soon there will be three of them. Chuck and Tina are having another baby ! Now how great is that ? John and Carolina had a baby girl. Your brother is so very happy, two boys and a girl. He is such a great grandfather. He just loves and lives for the grandchildren. We are soon going to Vegas to see your brother, the kids and especially Joseph and Selena. Michael will soon be three years old. Julianna is now one.
I wish I could see you one more time but I know that is impossible. I will never understand why one so precious had to die.
Love and Kisses my darling,
Mom & Paul

Hi Mike,
Merry Christmas ! It is snowing today and we are going to have a white Christmas. More grandchildren are on the way. Vince and April are having another boy. Johnny and Carolina are also having a baby but it to early to tell gender. You better watch over and protect them all. I cannot believe I will be a Great Grandmother for the fifth time. WOW ! How lucky is that.Chuck and Tina are having us over for dinner on Christmas. They have started their own Christmas tradition.
Madelyn and Juliana are growing so fast and they are so smart. You would love talking to Madelyn. She says words that you cannot begin to imagine where she gets them from. Madelyn takes dancing lessons and she loves them.
Your brother loves being a grandfather more and more each day. Michael makes him so very happy. He just loves babysitting. You would be so proud of him. I love you and miss you so very, very much. You know Mike, people say losing someone you love so much gets easier as time goes by but let me assure you it does not. You are on my mind and in my heart and prayers always.

Hi Mike,
It has been five years since you went to God.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. Love leaves memories no one can steal.
You are with us everyday. We know you are watching over Tina and Chuck and helping your two beautiful grand kids, Madelyn and Juliana.
The two girls are gorgeous. I know that you are watching over Little Michael also.I feel so sad that you are missing out on all the fun and enjoyment that you would have had with them. Paul and I have three beautiful Great Grand kids.
We do not get to be with Michael as much as we would like but April and Vince send us a lot of pictures and videos. He is so cute! He helps his Grandpa wash clothes, it is so funny.
Michael will be two years old in September. Wow, so fast. We cannot wait to see him. You would also be so proud of Vince and April, they are great parents. Your brother is in his glory. He is such a great Granpa. Michaels care is his goal in life. He is also a great sitter for Michael.
April and Vince are having another baby in February.
I did not think I would see one great grandchild much less three ( so far ).
I am so happy when I am with and thinking about them all.
We all love you, pray for you and miss you so much.
Love,

Hi Mike,
I want to congratulate you on your newest grandaughter, Julianna Marie, eight pounds, one ounce. Watch over and protect her, Madelyn, Chuck and Tina as you have been doing.
Madelyn is so happy with her baby sister. God bless them both.
Julianna Marie, a beautiful name for a beautiful baby. I just know that God smiled when He saw her.
Tina and Chuck are doing fine. Her and Chuck are the best. You can be so proud of your Buffalo family !

It is Fathers Day and I cannot stop thinking about you. How we all miss you and all the things that you have missed. Most especially your beautiful grandaughter Madelyn. Whenever I see her I can imagine you being with her and all the joy you would give each other. I can always see you also, the angel that you are, hovering over and protecting her. I can only tell you how much I love you, how much I miss you and how much I wish you were still with us.
Happy Fathers Day to a great father and a beautiful and loving son.

Hi Michael,
Easter is just around the corner and we still have snow. Our temps are in the thirties, it is so cold !! I am remembering when all the grandkids would come here for their Easter Egg Hunt. What fun we had. Madelyn is growing so fast and boy can she talk. She is such a doll. When we see her she tells us right away that " I am having a baby sister in June ". Chuck and Tina are such great parents. I wish so fervently that you were here watching Madelyn growing up. Mike, every day that passes I love and miss you more and more. I miss our little talks. I still await your little knock at the door. I miss the way you laughed and that beautiful smile of yours. You have given me so many, many happy memories that I treasure with laughter and tears. You are with me all the time. I love and miss you so very much. Happy Easter my baby, all my love.
LOVE,

Hi Mike,
Christmas is here again. I can remember many years that my happiest Christmas memories were created by you and Vince. I can remember, now with happiness, when you and Vince were ten and eight years old and you saying to Vince " PJ,s again, SURPRISE ". We did not have much money but we always had a lot of love for each other and for family. We had so much fun, so money and toys are not all that is needed for a lovng family at Christmas.
You boys were my whole life. No matter our situation I was a very happy mother with my two great sons.
We are having Christmas dinner at Chuck and Tinas home with Madelyn and Chucks family. I know you would have loved Chucks family because family means everything to them as it does for us.
Cannot wait to see our loving Madelyn open her gifts. She is just so beautiful.
I know you will be watching your grandaughter opening her gifts also. I know you will be praying to God for her, Tina, and Chuck. I can see that big, loving smile on your beautiful face and I know how proud you are of them all.
Just know how much you are and always will be missed and loved.
Love always,

Hi Mike,
Thanksgiving is here again. So much love, so many memories, so many reasons to miss you. Always on my mind, forever in our hearts.
I would love to have our family together. We had some really great holidays dinners. What a time we would have with Big Vince, Vince , April, Michael, Johnny, You,Tina,Chuck and Madelyn.You and your brother could brag about your grandchildren.
Next year, in June, you will be a Grandfather again. I thank God I get to see Madelyn often and feel so sad I do not get to see Mikey as often as I would like.
Madelyn is a little talking machine and is so beautiful and Mikey is a speed demon. He moves so fast and is so handsome.
I am so happy with the two greatgrand children and anxiously look forward to the third.
When Tina asks Madelyn where Grampa Mike is she says " heaven "! Well my angel we love and miss you and will be especially thankful for the time we got to spend with you and for all the wonderful memories you left us with.
Love you,

Hi Mike,
Paul and I just returned from Vegas. We went for Michaels 1st. birthday. What a doll he is. Your brother is in seventh heaven so proud of his grandson.
Vince and April had his party in a beautiful park and they really did it up right. We had such a wonderful time. Let me tell you Mike your namesake has a mind of his own. He never walks, he runs ! We hope one day to see him and Madelyn together. What a great time that will be. Vince and April treated us like a million dollars.
What you preached and lived is always true Mike " Family is everything " !
Love,
Ma

Hi Mike,
It is four years today that you left and went with God. I cried when you left and I am still crying.
I may not see you but I feel you and know you are around.
A parent should not have to bury a child.
You taught people a lot about how important family and respect for same is.
Believe me we are trying to keep your love of family going and I am sure that you are be proud of us.
To bad there are no phones in heaven as we would be really busy talking all the time. There is so much I would have said to you but I was not given the time and we lived so far apart. I remember and cherish our phone conversations so very much.
Vince is following right in your footsteps in relation to family and you should be so proud of him! His boys and grandson are everything to him. Family is all he thinks about. He always says that Tina took right after you and that talking to her reminds him so much of you and the love you two shared.
We all know how proud you are of Chuck, Tina and Madelyn. They too live for family.
Well Mike I will let you get back to whatever you are doing and we will talk later.
Love & Kisses.
Mom and Paul

Hi Mike,
I have just finished reading some of the letters you wrote to me and while they are somewhat sad they are a joy to me just knowing that you wrote them. I have some great news. Chuck and Tina have bought a beautiful brick home in Lancaster. It has a big yard for Madelyn to run and play in. They did it all by themselves. I am so very, very happy for the three of them.Madelyn is the most beautiful and smart little girl. We have so much fun with her. Your brother is sounding so very happy with his " little Michael ".I can just picture you and Vince playing with your grandchildren. We skype on the computer and I get to see Michael and Madelyn at the same time. We will all get to know one and other no matter the distance.Between the two of them with their bright smiles they light up my world.God, I miss you being here to see them even though I know you are watching over and guiding them from heaven.Mike, we love you more each passing day. When the family is together we always talk about and tell Michael stories. Believe me my love, you will never be forgotten.
All our love.

Hi Mike,
Monday is Madelyns first birthday. I will bet that you are so proud ! She is growing so fast. Boy oh boy is she smart. Not that I am biased.
Tina Marie is having a party for her today. She is almost walking. Please guide all her steps through life. What a total joy she is, always smiling, just like you. She must be such a joy for you. I know that you would love to be with her as much as she would love to be with you.
What about our weather? It is in the forties. I can just hear you say " Mom, no snow that must really make you happy ".
Well Mike, we all love you and miss you along with wishing you were here to help us celebrate your beautiful grandaughters birthday.
All our love,
Mom & Paul

Hi Mike,
Christmas will be here in another week. The holidays are always a mixed blessing. The happiness we share with our family and the sadness of missing you ! It does not get better as people tell me it will. Our hearts and mind are always reminded of you. You are loved and missed every day. You were a great father and you would have been a wonderful grandfather. Madelyn is getting so big and more beautiful as the days pass. Michael also takes right after you as he also is always smiling. Just like his great uncle. Madelyn and Michael are two very special children. I know you are watching over them with a big smile on your face-just as big as the smiles on their faces. We all love you and you are in all our prayers always !
Love,
Ma & Paul

Hi Mike,
A few more days and it will be Thanksgiving. We are having dinner at Michael and Diane Stiglmeiers'.
I wish you were here so I could cook for you and have the entire family together one more time.
Tina took Madelyn to see Santa and what a sorry looking Santa he was ! Madelyn did not smile but she did sit on his lap. The older she gets the cuter things she does. She now loves and eats her own cheese and cookies. We just have so much fun with her.
Thank God Chuck and Tina are all about family. You would be so proud of them. Chucks family just loves Tina. My God Mike I can just see you here. Son,brother,nephew,father,grandfather and great-uncle. Wow!
Just know Mike you are with me night and day, heart, mind and soul. I love you so much
Love you

Hi Mike,
I want to let you know that Vince and April have had their baby. A baby boy, 8 pounds and 5 ounces. He is twenty-one inches long with lots of hair. They have named him after you. What an honor that is. We have seen pictures of him and boy is he a cutie. Your brother is on cloud nine. He has fed the baby and just loves him. The last time I saw Vince as happy was when his two boys were born. We are going there to see the baby in a few weeks. I can hardly wait ! You have a beautiful Grandaughter in Madelyn Grace and now you are a Greatuncle to Michael John. Well kid I will be talking to you on your birthday.
Love You Always,

Hi Mike,
Today is my birthday. Seventy-five years old. But there will be no birthday call from you.Vince sent me a card with the picture of a black man on the front. Inside he wrote " I remember the black statue we had that you named Mary Illuzi. Why you named it that we never knew as she was not black. I also remember you waking Mike and I out of a sound sleep to go with you, Uncle Johnny and Aunt Sue to drive cars to Rochester to make extra cash for the three of us. In todays world that would be child abuse. " Boy, we really did have fun with all the crazy things the three of us did. Thats what " Family " is all about ! I am so thankful that Paul taped Tinas birthday parties as we can now watch you and listen to your voice. While it is nice I would much rather have you here. We think and talk of you always and a day does not go by that you are not in our prayers. Madelyn Grace will get to know her Grandfather through her parents, tapes, videos and pictures along with many, many Michael stories we will all tell her. Mike I love and miss you so much.
Love,
Ma and Paul

Mikey, Now you are a Grandfather Angel ! Your grandaughter Madelyn Grace is beautiful and has your angelic smile, always. Tina and Charles make great parents. Your Moms family were all at the reception along with Joanne and Josephs family. It was a great family gathering and was missing only your physical presence.Your brother, along with Vincent and John sent their prayers and best wishes. Mom and I could see you standing alongside Madelyn Grace and her parents and smiling that smile of yours as she was Baptized. And I am sure you saw Madelyn Grace smiling back at you for children, especially on their Baptismal Day, can actually see angels. Especially one as beautiful and loving as you. God Bless you Mikey along with Tina, Charles and Madelyn Grace.
