Yesterday

I remember him from the St. Emydius gym....he was one of the older guys who were dudes we looked up to. Things that happened a long time ago, but wanted to acknowledge his passing and my faint but true recollection of him and other characters I've had the pleasure to meet along the way of life. Warmest condolences to his beloved family and many friends.

Very sorry for your loss, Maria. Your wedding was the first we attended as kids with my parents and I especially remember how beautiful you looked and how happy Grand-Uncle Mike and Catherine were. May Michael rest in eternal peace.
