I find it difficult to believe Mike left this world a year ago. I am sure he is watching over my dear Uncle Eddie. I know how difficult transitions can be when a loved one is gone. I have watched Tammy struggle yet be so strong and committed to her boys and family. I am so proud of hershe is a beautiful person filled with goodness and faith. I believe Mike sees that every day. Life is so short, fill it with love and understanding. Rest In Peace, Mike. I will always remember the good times with loveBonnie

Rest in peace, Mike. I will miss our talks, especially at Easter when we caught up on family. Mike was such a good listener--always ready with advice and stories about Tammy and their boys. He may have had the gab of a salesman but was never trite, always true. Mike remembered my grandchildren's names and was so kind to my parents as they aged. He may have been comfortable in the background, yet everyone thought he'd always be there. I know I did. My husband and I truly liked Mike and will miss him. May the special memories that Tammy, John Michael and Teddy have, always warm their hearts with love as Mike watches over them also with love.
