Another year gone by without you around, 10 years I can't believe it! I don't need to tell you what's going on in my life because I can feel you around me , the house, and my little one ( who never met you, describes you to me and says u visit often!) I believe it completely! I believe your with me and kids every minute possible! So, you know I talk to you when I'm home alone, and ask for help or just want you to listen! I miss you everyday, and I know one day I will see you and mom again! Keep us close and safe and always know ur still my very best friend! I love u mike always! We are all sad here, and I just wonder what it's like for you guys there!! You have mom with you, and I have dad with me, and one day it will be the four of us again til then I'll try my best to et dad through his bad days and keep h busy with me and the boys! He is the best grandpa ever! Ethan and Quinn adore him, and want to make h proud just like we did! We miss u and dad really misses you! I'll talk to u soon , remember keep us close! Love u! Mikki

Mikey, I can't believe its going on 10 years that you've been gone. Michael and I were looking at some older pictures last night and we came across one of you. Its the only one that I have because you wouldn't let me take pictures of you! And the one I have is you sitting down putting your hand in front of the lens. I just smile each time I see it because I remember it like yesterday. Well I just wanted to stop by and let you know I was thinking of you and still miss your big smile.

It's been a long time since I visited this guest book, and I still wish I didn't have to! I wish u were just sitting on the couch catching up with me! The kids are great Ethan 11 , and Quinn 6! I don't need to put how old I am u already know! This morning I woke up thinking about u and how another year ur gone is coming up! Life has not been the same since we lost u, and I now know it will never be! We all miss and love u so much and we always talk about u! I have a picture of u in my room and it's the first thing I see every morning! When I look at my kids I see u in so many ways! They both have a lot of ur ways! I guess I came here today to read how much people miss u and say even though I'm not writing here u know I love and miss u! Not one day goes by that I don't somehow shed a tear thinking of u and dreaming of the way things could have been! Ur forever my heart and soul and I will forever love u! U were and still r my best friend! I love u Mike! I miss u! Love forever ur sis Mikki

Hey MIkey, it's been a couple of years since I last talked to you here. But I had some growing up to do first. I wanna say that I am ok with your passing now, but I can't. But I do want to say that I'm sorry for not being here with you and for you, in the years that have past since your passing. And I am sorry about Tony. It's hard to beleive that the both of you are up there together. But I'm sure you wouldn't have it any other way. I haven't seen or heard from Mikki or anyone else in the family. But I guess thats why I feel a sence of guilt for that ( Sorry Mikki ). But I do kind of keep in touch with Jamie I forgot. And lastly just want to give an all around apology to your family for not acting like a true friend should. Tony you to I didn't even hear about the funeral until it was over. Well alot has changed since you left, I have a nine month old Daughter named Brooklyn Taylor Caronna. But if it was a boy I was literally fighting for Mikey ( sorry Micheal ). But anyway I want you to know that you are still the greatest one piece of friendship I will ever have. And I miss you alot Mikey. Look at me getting all sappy. Well Mike I will try to keep in touch more and also go see you more. Me and Brandon went to see you last summer. Oh and Happy late birthdays and other merry or late holidays that I missed for you.
P.S. Oh and hello and good wishes to Mr. Mike, Mikki and the rest of the Lorino family it's been awhile.
Lots of Love...
Tommy, Brooklyn, Debbie, Big Tommy and don't forget little 19yr old Geena now.

Well, Ethan is starting football today and he is so excited. He seems to be pretty good at it. All he talks about is how you used to play. Dad showed haim so pictiures of you and he loved it. He asks so many questions about you and if you were good he drove us crazy. He keeps a picture of you in your football outfit in his room, you were only 7. I wish you were here to share this with us. As you can tell you are always on our mind. Keep him safe and if there is any way give him some football pointers. Love and miss you much. Miss you, Mik and E

I just was thinking of you and I wantd to say you are always on my mind. I miss you everyday that never goes away. Ethan wanted you to know he hit a homerun and made the allstar team . He misses you just as much as me. He alway asks "would uncle mike be proud of me" and I know you would he is a great kid. Your with all of us everyday and that gives us all the strength we need. I love you baby brother!

Mikey Happy Birthday I LOVE YOU!!!!!! I'm sure you know about Tonys accident! You, Mom, and PawPaw were there when he arrived. I look to you for strength and right know we all need comfort. Take care of Tony and make him feel at home. Mikey, Ethan is playing baseball and Dad tells him all about when you used to play. He always says he misses you and wants to be a good player like you. He makes us all proud. Quinn is almost 2 and he is just as rough as you were. I wonder if you have something to do with that. I wish you were here to share this with us, but I know your watching. Oh by the way Dad is the best PawPaw in the world. You were right about him we could never have a better dad. He misses you so much and he is always there for me and the kids. Keep him safe I love him so much he is my world and Ethan adores his PawPaw. I miss you Mikey and I'm always thinking of you!!
Your loving sister and nephews Mikki Ethan and Quinn

June 13th was a big day around here. His name is Quinn Michael! He Is named after you and I know you would be happy. I felt you all around us that day and I knew things would be fine. When Ethan was born you were so nervous, but you stayed by my side the whole time. Mikey, not having you around is so hard and during this time its even harder. Ethan seems to be doing well with being a brother and Dad had alot to do with that. We all miss you and think about you constantly. I found a video from our first vacation with Ethan at the beach and you were on it. The weirdest part was hearing your voice, it seemed as if you never left us. As you can tell my life still includes you in everything that i do and that will never change. You might have left us physically but never will you leave my soul. Well you got what you always wanted a nephew named after you! Sorry your not around to see him, but i know deep in my heart you know him better than any of us. Keep us all safe and close to you! I love and miss you mike.

Mikey,
It,s been along time since I wrote in here, I guess for many different reasons. Hurricane Katrina came and took pretty much everything we knew. Nothing at all is the same in Chalmette. I now have a new home in Madisonville, and Ethan has finished his first year of school. We miss you so much and this year has been a challenge to us all. Ethan misses you so much and he swears he talks to you and that you visit him sometimes. He looks like you and has alot of your ways. I can't say I mind. Happy Birthday You would be the big 30. I remember what you did to me on my 30th birthday. I wonder what things would be like if you were here now. I sure miss having you around. Never forget how much I love you and you are always on my mind. You have a piece of my heart that can never be replaced. May God keep you close and please keep Ethan and I under your wings. We know Your around us at all times. I Love You,
Missing You,
Mikki and Ethan

It's been a long time since I wrote in here. My life has gone from good to unbearable to great, with the continous obstacle of dealing with your death. Usually when I write I am so sad now, my life has meaning again. Your being gone left me with no one to confide in without being judged. I sure miss you and I wish you were here to give me one of your big hugs sometimes.
Ethan is so much life you it is almost scary. He is so cute, but always into something. Everytime I yell at him , he says he is going to tell on me. JUST LIKE YOU! Life has thrown Dad and I some horrible things , but a part of me has learned some valuable lessons, maybe even made me a little stronger.
Mike, now when I think of you I smile. I now know how blessed I was to have you in my life. Just to have had you for a while was better than not having you at all.
I Have the pleasure of telling my new honey all about you. Your stories and everything we shared has given E.J. a chance to get to know you and given me the chance to remember. He is absoulutely great. We laugh and talk like we knew each other for years. He has been a big part of me healing. I'm not really sure how to explain to you how happy I am now. I wish you were here to get to know him and see what he has brougt to my life. Never in a million years did I think I could feel this way, I never thought it was possible. He makes me smile when I cry, he listens when i need to talk, and never once has he let me down nor do I think he ever will. My match was finally made. You would never believe this but his Mom has alot of Mom's qualities and sometimes I feel like I need to pinch myself and wake up. God has blessed me with a new beginning and with great people. I don't remember a time in the past year in a half that I felt comfortable saying that. I'm going to be O.K. and I believe with this new start , with E.J. and his family, and with our incredible father and Ethan that I now can deal with your loss . I will never stop missing and loving you, but now I will smile and make my life the best it can be in your memory. I will always turn to you for answers and I know you will never lead me wrong. So rest now and know I have someone here protecting me and making me happy again. Mike , I Love You!!!!!!!
Ur etched in my heart forever
missing you
Mikki
P.S. You always knew it was right. You gave me the courage to go for it. THANKS

Life has totally changed for me. New people, new goals, new life. Nothing the same but better. You are a big part in every decision I make. Lots of things you predicted has come true and brought lots of happiness with it. I only wish you were here to meet the reason behind my smile. You always knew what I wanted and now I have it. Thanks! I'm sure you had alot to do with it. Missing you a bunch.
Love forever,

Mikey,
The holidays have come and gone and now its almost the anniverary of your death. No one can understand exactly how I'm feeling because i can't even explain it. It feels like yesterday that i got that dreadful phone call. This has been by far the hardest year of my life. If only i could get you back. Never will i forget you and even memory we have shared since you were born. My life will never be the same. You are my angel now and I know i will never be alone.
Missing You.

Happy Thanksgiving! Today at the table was very different and quiet. I never realized how much you were a part of my life. I don't even need to say all the same stuff again because I've said it so many times. You brought so much joy and laughter to the holidays and now your not with me. I could feel your presence all around us today. This year is almost over and I can't wait. This was the worse ever. I know these holidays will come and go just like every year I just wish I could share them with you. Your memory will be with me every moment and I will forever keep you alive. I miss you and I wish I could see you one more time. I took your rosary with me on the plane to New York , but I felt like you were there keeping me safe. I would like you to help me with this grief and pain. I hurt so bad and have many sleepless nights. I just can't get that day out of my mind. I hate to talk about it with any because I know they still hurt, but I just want to be able to accept this. I can't and I always ask what if? I would have done anything to help you if only I had the chance. I hope you know that. Nothing in this world would have stopped me from trying to help you. I'm sorry I wasn't there when you needed me the most. I love you and miss you so much. You are now my Guardian Angel and I know you will help. Thanks for everything so far. I know your always around me and I can't tell you how much I love that feeling.
Happy thanksgiving,
Mikki

Halloween came and gone again this year the only difference was you were gone too. Last year we spent it together with Dad and the kids. I always got a call from you on that day to see how I was doing. This year nothing! It was probably the hardest year since we lost MOM. I know Mom had the best Halloween since the accident, she was with her baby boy. I hope you know I miss you and think about you everyday. Lots has changed in our lives since you left us. Mine has been upside down. I'm working on it and trying to be strong for Ethan and Dad but its not easy. Stay close, with you on my side I can't go wrong. Missing you more and more.

Mikey,
It's almost Halloween and I always worried about you and Mikki on that night after we lost Mom,this is the first Halloween that you and Mom are together and I thought I would be with her long before either you or mikki,but what do I know,I know I miss you more than anyone knows and I said before I just go thru the motions now, the only thing that keeps me going is ETHAN he spent the night and we went to bed and got close just like you and I did for so long,I only wish we could do that again, I miss that smile so much but sometime I see it in my dreams and that makes me feel go for a little while,Mikey only if I could see you one more time there is so much I would say but that will have to wait until a later date but one thing I know that day get closer by the day,pleae give Mom a kiss for me and I know she is glad you are with her but she would not want Mikki to hurt so bad either, Mikey until we see each other again you are in my thoughts everyday and every minute of my life I miss you and love you my SON,may God keep you close.
Love You

You just can't imagine how much our life has changed since you have been gone. I am not looking forward to these up coming holidays. You not being there and I just don't see a reason to celebrate. As time continues to pass my pain continues to grow. Emptiness is a good word for it. I look at Dad and see an empty smile sometimes, and our grandmaws can't stop talking about you, and my baby Ethan wonders when his Uncle Mike is coming to get him to play with the girls. Whenever Ethan doesn't see someone for a while he thinks they died. I never imagined how hard this would be to explain to him. He looks a whole lot like you. He brings back so many memories of when we were little. I always talk about you and keep your memory alive and with me. That is something you and I discussed. You and I always talked and remebered Mom. I never thought I would have to go through this. My heart is with you and I will forever love and miss you. One day things will be the same again and that when I meet you at your new home. You just can't imagine how that will make me feel. My only brother, My best friend, My protector. You are always in my thoughts. Love and miss you a bunch.
Missing you much,

You protected my baby sister and I thank you again and again. My family and Bobby miss you also we still speak of you as if you are only waiting to pass by to visit. Our last visit with you was great and we will never forget that. I am so glad that you got to see Margo and Nicholas once again. Your memory will always stay with us, in pictures, thoughts,and in the things you have done for my entire family. You never realize the impact you have on someones life until it is to late. If I ever forgot to tell you thank you, I am sorry. Thank you for all you have taught us and left with us to cherish your memories.

I used to think that was funny and I never thought twice about making it for you.
How I wish you could do that again..
You are so sadly missed...by all of us.

I came to visit you and it killed me to see your name. I was hoping I wouldn't find it and it would help me avoid the reality of this. But I think it's finally sinking in, and it's killing me. I can't stop thinking about you. I pass Buffalo's on the way to and from work everyday, and I think of you. Yesterday I went shopping with my sisters and on the way back, we passed the Chinese Buffet... which was the last time I saw you. I miss your smile. Your laugh. Your constant phone calls. At least we had no regrets. We never argued or complained about our relationship. And I would give anything to have your friendship again. I'd stay in touch and cherish every conversation.
I even sang Karaoke last weekend and dedicated a song to you. hehe. Could you imagine??? Ha! Yeah, you'd be laughing at me now. :)
Everyone misses you Mikey, I hope you're watching over all of us. Lots of Love ~ Annette

Time continues to pass and my sadness continues to grow. Your gone and I don't think I will ever accept it. Yesterday I thought I saw you and I got a cold chill. I miss you so much. Hey, No Matter where you are You will always be in my heart. At least once a day I run in to someone who misses you just as much as I do. Your big smile is still so real to me. Ethan is getting so big and he really misses you. He kisses your picture every night before bed. Mike if I could only bring you back. Please know that I love and miss you and i will never ever forget you , your voice , your smile, and every moment we spent together. God is keeping you close now like i kept you close to me for all of those years . Baby brother you are missed dearly. I love You

Mikey, I still haven't really accepted the fact that I will never see you again. I know I didn't see you for a couple of months, but now knowing that I'll never speak to you or see you again just really hurts. I can't even begin to imagine what your dad and Mikki are going through. I don't know why God decided to take you away from all of us so soon. My thought is that your mother needed you. And we all know how much you needed her too. So maybe that was God's plan. We all miss and love you very much. Watch over all of us, especially Mikki and your Dad.
Love,

Today is Easter and my first holiday without you around. This morning I just sat by the phone and waited for the phone call "Mikki what time are we leaving for Dad's and I'll ride with you or follow ya." This year we had another Easter Egg Hunt, but Ethan was the only one . He missed Kayla and Destiney to share the toys with. Dad made sure he put money in just like you wanted. I miss you and I wish I could say things are getting easier but there not. I only wonder what you are doing today and if your OK. Mike, I have many pictures of you last year with your bald head . You were always so crazy. I miss you and I know one day we will be able to share our life together eternally. You and Mom enjoy your first holiday together again and I will think about you both. I Love You!!!!!!!

I only wish I would have told you how much I loved you and how proud of you I was of you,I know you thought I was not proud of you, but I really was,you had a mind of your own and a heart of gold thats what I really loved about you.Mikey I know one thing for sure your sister mikki loved you with all her heart and soul she misses you just like I do,tomorrow is Easter and it's our first of many holidays I have to get thru without you,I will go thru the motions, but I will miss seeing your BIG SMILE and slapping you on your BIG HEAD,as I said to you the day we said goodbye I will say a prayer for you at every family gathering until I come to join you. Mikey as we use to say you were my only SON and will always be my only SON. Rest in Peace my SON and please tell mom to take care of you until I arrive.

Mike,
I miss you so much everyday, and I talk to you in my prayers to tell you about my life. It's not easy living everyday with out you. Your friends have been a great comfort to me. Mike, I promise there is not one day you are not on my mine. I will keep your wishes and your memory alive forever. Kayla had a party for her birthday and I made sure she had a great day. She talks about you all the time. She is sending her binkies to you on her balloons. I'll give her a big kiss for you "big Head" . Keep watching over me and Ethan, but espcially Dad. Touch his heart in a special way, he needs to feel you love and spirit. I take care of him don't worry. We could't ask for a better DAD.
I love you Mike and Miss you,
Mikki

Dear Aunt Gloria, Missy, Mike, and Mikki,
Words can never express the shock and disbelief that we felt when my mom informed us of Mikey's passing. I am sure it was nothing compared to what all of you experienced. We were so sad to know that all of you would have to endure yet another heartwrenching time in your life as you try to continue through your sorrow and grief. My heart especially goes out to Mikki who I know was very close to Mikey. I remember visiting Donna's house when Mikki and Mikey were little while my sister Kim baby sat for them. They were inseperable even in name. We couldn't say Mikki without saying Mikey and vice versa! Mikey had such a fun personality...so much like Donna's from my memory of them both. Donna was always so much fun to be around and always the life of the party. It is still shocking for me to think they have both passed on...especially not being there in Louisiana when it happened.
I just wanted all of you to know how much we love and miss you all. We will continue to pray for you to be comforted during this time. We love you all. I know Donna must have been so happy to hold her beautiful son in her arms once again and what joy Mikey must have felt to be with his Mom. What a wonderful reunion that must have been! We love you!

As I read 5 pages of condolences and memories about Mikey, my eyes watered, and I cannot help but feel a loss at not having really known Mikey over the years. I have lived in many places (most of them far away) and being as busy as I have been with 7 children haven't kept in touch as well as I would have liked.
When I was growing up, Missy and I were best cousins and spent lots and lots of time together. Donna was probably atleast 5 years older. She had so much personality and was so bubbly. I remember when I was in around 2nd grade, Santa Claus came to our school during a Christmas Concert. Santa looked around to find a lucky child to sit on his lap. How proud I was to be chosen! A picture was taken and put in the yearbook. And guess who Santa was?? I found out later, it was Donna!!! She was perfect for the part! Happy, cheerful and jolly! That's the way I remember Donna! Aunt Glory and Uncle Paul were like my 2nd parents. Uncle Paul would often tell "alligator jokes"! I have so many cherished memories with them!
I think I moved away to go to college when Mikki and Mikey were real young...maybe around 7 and 9 or so. The way I remember Mikey is pretty much how others have been describing him(big,husky-the football type of build, big blue eyes, blonde hair, and a great big, huge smile.)
I cannot even imagine the pain that you all have felt! My eyes are watering again. To lose a son, a grandson, a brother, a nephew,...
My heart goes out to all of you!
As amazing as it seems, my husband and I were just talking about Mikki and Mikey either the day of or near to the day of Mikey's death. I had been reading an e-mail Missy had sent to the Meyers' kids and was telling him about Mikki and Mikey.
Our love and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time! Always remember...FAMILIES CAN BE TOGETHER FOREVER! I, too, am glad that Mikey will again be with Donna and Uncle Paul. I love and miss ya'll! Now that we are living in Texas, maybe we can see ya'll more often!
With love,
Karen Meyers Foster and family

It has taken me a little bit to actual know what to say. I still honestly do not believe that you are not here. But the one thing I want you to know is that I love you and I think about you all the time. My few visits will not be the same without you tangling my hair in knots. I know you are in a better place, but I miss you. We all miss you Mikey. We always will. Kiss Paw Paw and your mom for me and know that your in my heart forever. I love you.

Our Dearest Friend,
We will always be thinking of you and how you were at the hospital when Nicky was born. He was looking at your picture and wanted to know when you were coming to visit again. We told him you were in heaven. All he said was that you were happy and he would see you another time. How much love and knowledge that four year old has knowing that you are happy. We miss you still and always will. I wish you could visit us again. I am also so glad you got to see Margo before you parted ways with us. It fills my eyes everytime I look at my pictures knowing such a big strong man had such a huge heart sitting there holding Tony and I's newborn son. We love and miss you dearly,please save us a spot up there. Please keep an eye on Tony and I's children.
Love Never Ending,
The Talamo's

TO: Mr. Lorino and Mikkie,
It's been one month since your painful loss. I think about you both everyday, because I think about Mickey everyday. I know your pain and I wish there was something to help ease that feeling. Please know that Mikey will always be remembered and will never be forgotten in our home. Tommy has pictures of him in his room and I love looking at them. One is Mickey with a great big smile. That picture remimds me of what Mickey was like everyday; happy, joking, and loving.
I was the first to write in Mickey's Guest Book and I am very happy I wasn't the last. This is a great way to see how much Mickey was loved and missed. My heart goes out to you both.
My deepest sympathy,
Deborh Caronna

Mikey,
ONE MONTH !!!! One of the longest of my life. I miss you so much! I always dial your number every morning and I look down the street every morning just like I used to. It's not easy here without you, my life has changed in many ways the past few weeks. The pain in my chest hasn't gone away, and the sleepless nights are worse than ever. I never really realized how close you and I were. ( Past tense is so real to me ) If I could just talk to you and know your OK maybe I could heal a little. I'm glad you walked down to see me that night. I just wish I would have told you how much I loved you. I think you know, but I would have loved to tell you. I will never forget anything about you or any of our conversations. Your memory is forever etched in my heart. You now can do me a favor, give Mom a kiss and tell her all about Ethan. He misses you and he tells me not to cry Mike will always love you Mommy. I Love You and will always miss you.
Missing you,
Mikki

Mikey loved and was loved by many as he lived here on the earth.What greater eulogy can one hope for than that. Mikey, you will be sorely missed by all who loved you. Heavenly Father gives comfort to those left behind. In Matthew 5:4, he says, " Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted." Heavenly Father knows that we will be saddened and will mourn at the death of our loved ones but offers comfort in the Scriptures. He lets us know that death is not final, but is like a transition---like walking through a door-- from this sphere to another-- into our next stage of our Heavenly Father's plan. He lets us know that when we die we have finished our probation here on earth and are ready to accept our next assignment from our Heavenly Father. He says in Ecclesiastes 12:7, that, "And the Spirit shall return unto God who gave it." Also, in 1ST. Peter 3:19 he says, "By which also he {Christ} went and preached unto the sprits in prison. {Spirit World}. So we know that the Spirit does live on and that teaching of the Gospel continues after this life. Mikey is there, being taught. What a wonderful teacher he has-- The Savior Jesus Christ. I know , with all my heart that Mikey had a joyful reunion with Donna, his mom. A little story that I came across kind of explains that reunion. It is called "Seashore". It reads: I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength and I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a spect of white cloud where the sea and sky come down to mingle with each other. Then someone at my side says, "There, she's gone." Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large in mast and hull spar as she was when she left my side, and just as able to bear her load of living weight to the place of destination. Her diminished size is in me, not in her; and just at that moment when someone at my side said, " There, she's gone" , there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices to take the glad shout, " There , she's coming!" And such is dying.
I love you Mikey, and pray for you and all those who love you.
Love, Uncle Dewey

My Dear Mikey, Yes you are still MIKEY to me. Somehow that could never change. I will miss you playing with my hair and twisting it untill I fussed at you, and you would laugh. I will miss those phone calls I would get, oh how I wish you needed something now and could call. I know you have all you need and your mom is holding you tight, now. That brings me peace. I don't know why you had to leave with such a short stay here with us, I do know someone had a bigger plan for you. Watch over your sister and dad, they miss you and need to feel your presence like we all do. I still can hear you laughing with a big wide grin on your face and thats the kind of memories I will hold on to. I'm proud to say you are my nephew, I only wish I would have told you that. Somehow I know you knew that. Life has changed again for us,it will never be the same. So many people have expressed their love for mikey, I can't begin to tell everyone how helpful this has been. Thanks to all who wrote here, your kind words mean so much. I love you Mikey and will miss you forever till we are together again. P.S. Baby is doing fine, I'll take good care of him I promise.
I Love and miss you,
Missy

Dear Mike,
I don't know what to say to you. As I can't begin to know the depth of your loss I have not said anything. But it sounds as if you're working on finding peace, which is my wish for you. One thing I do know is that it does not come overnight and that sometimes it seems as if it's not even a possibility.Therefore you have to take peace and joy when and where you find it. Best wishes, God be with you.

Mikey,
I still can not believe your gone.
You were my baby brother and I always thought you would be around.
This feeling inside me is unexplainable, I do not think I could explain if I tried. You came over everyday, you called me every moment you could, and now nothing. I miss you so much! I never thougt I would sit in my house wishing that you would call me for one of your favors. I would do anything just to see you or hear your voice again. I'm so glad I was able to be there for you when I could. I will never forget your smile and laugh, and the way you always tried to protect me. You were the best and you always will be. Ethan and I talk about you every night and send you prayers. He doesn't really understand all of this, but he knows your his shining star now. Mikey, you will always hold a very special place in my heart, and I will cherish all the memories we have shared. I Love You very much, and I will miss you everyday of my life. Watch over me and keep me close.
Thanks to everyone for sharing all your memories of Mike with our family. Our family has been through alot, but with my Mom and Mike watching over us this time in our life just might be a little easier. Thanks
Love And Miss You,
Your Sister

Mikey,
We will truly miss you, you were one of the most loving people that I have ever known. When you loved someone it was with your whole heart. When your mother left us, it was one of the saddest days of my life, she loved the same way which is where you learned this. I seen a glow go out in you when you lost your mother, now you are in her arms again and I know how happy you both are. Please keep a loving eye on your dad & Mikki I worry so much about them. I know we will meet again in a much better place. We truly Love You and we are grateful that we got to share Thanksgiving together. till we meet again....

Mikey,
I am really glad that we shared time together during your short journey in life. I just can't accept the fact that I'll never see your smile again. I guess we all take advantage of our time here and figure "there's always tomorrow to call and say hello", but I guess you really just don't know if there will be a tomorrow. I will miss you dearly Mikey, you have always been in my heart and you will remain there. It makes it a little easier knowing you're with your mother, may you both rest in peace. I love you.
Mickey, if you ever need anything, please let me know.
Love Always,

Michael Lorino III, What a wonderfull son,Mikey was a young man who loved to have fun with his friends& family and once you were his friend you were always his friend,growing up Mikey always had a smile on his face he was always jokeing around and playing games on everyone,as I always said Mikey was his mothers child and on that November mornning in 1987 MIKEY life change as Mikey new it,both Mikki and mine life changed that mornning but I really believe in my heart Mikey never accepted or put a closer to the death of his mother DONNA.
Mikey was a son who would always standby my side no matter what crazy thing I did he always told me he was my ONLY son and he was so right,I loved him probally more than he ever knew, he knew I could never tell him no if he pushed me hard enough and he knew how to push me very hard.
The past ten years have been great I think we became a family again even though I did not always agree with some of the things he did but Mikey was just Mikey care free just like his mother,but the best thing that could ever have happened to Mikey the past couple of years was being a parent to the two little girls he loved. Mikey told me he knew what it was to be a parent and Mikey was a great father to those little girls and they loved him as he loved them.
After yesterday and seeing Mikey put to rest with his MOTHER & Paw Paw I know Mikey has a big smile again and is truly at rest.To ask myself WHY THIS HAPPENED is something that will never be answered while I am on this earth. I do know after Mikey mothers death I would always see Donna's face and fun loving attitude,when I looked into Mikeys eyes.Now that Mikey is at peace, Mikki has given me ETHAN another smileing face to play with, watch grow up and love everyday and when I see the smile on ETHAN he looks just like DONNA&MIKEY blonde hair&blue eyes,therfore it must be true when one book is closed another one opens.
I have so many loving memories of Mikey as I know all his friends and family do.Lets just keep his memories in our hearts as he would want and also try once a day to put a BIG SMILE on our face as BIG BOY MIKEY did for most of his life.
Thanks everyone for the support and kind word for a wonderful young man,known as BIG MIKE, BIG TEDDYBEAR,BIG DADDY and SON.
Mikey I know I'll never will beable to hold you,slap your head or fuse at you anymore, but even though I did not say it as much as I should have I know you knew I loved you.
Mikey you will always be in my heart,thoughts and Prayers and I will live from today on with the knowledge that one day in the future you and i will laugh together again. Mikey give Mother a hug & kiss for me, as you did many years ago.
MIKEY REST IN PEACE MY SON
