I would love to talk with (phone, Zoom, Skype) one of Michael's children about all he meant to me sometime. I am glad he passed before this weird time we're in. One of the things I love him for is the fact that he raised independent kids, capable of creativity and critical thinking. He is with us now.

Grateful to have had the opportunity to care for Michael over the last few months of his life. Intelligent, funny and quick witted doesn't suffice when describing Michael. He was a doll. My love and prayers go out to his entire loving and incredibly dedicated family.

Grateful for the opportunity to help care for Michael these last few months. Witty, funny and full of memories of family, Ireland, Chicago and his journey through life is how I will fondly remember Michael, always. What a doll.

Great memories of tea and / or breakfast with Michael after daily Mass at St. Joseph's. Too many times to count. Evenings of wine and cheese and crackers and his favorite chocolate-coated cookies. And his sharing of his love of literature, his family, his faith and his parish. Since returning to Iowa, almost four years ago, I have often missed his wit, his enthusiasm, his truth, his kindness and hospitality toward me, and even his crankiness and temper (not ever toward me!). My heart goes out to his family, especially Robert, so much a part of Michael's regular life during the time I was there in town. Michael is one of the people who really left an imprint on me, really made a difference. I always loved his voice, and I know I will always remember it. Michael was truly a gift, knowing him enriched me deeply, and I will never forget him.
