To the McCarthy Family, I was very sorry to hear of the loss of Michael. Fond childhood memories of family gatherings and the Pony rides at the Groovers. Michael was a kind soul who always had a smile at the ready. I will miss him.

To all of the McCarthy family,

You are all in my thoughts and prayers. No words can truly express my thoughts, nor describe your sorrow. When I think of him, I think of the joy and the smiles that appeared on his nieces/nephews faces. The love he had for all of you was so evident. This quote from St. Francis de Sales comes to mind: "Do ordinary things in Extraordinary ways." That was your son, brother, uncle, cousin and friend.
God bless,
Peg Carroll
