My heart breaks for the parents and wife of Mikey as I remembered I called him. He was a sweet, lovable little boy and he was always sweet to younger cousins Maureen, Andrew and Peter Topa. When I think of him I always see him as that sweet little boy! Words can never express the pain of losing a child. My thoughts and prayers in helping you deal with your loss! Love aunt Christine
