To Dr. Fox, Tom and all of the Fox family and Marsey Family and especially to Mike’s wife and kids. It has been facades since I have seen Mike, from Little Flower and high school, but Mike’s joyful smile and laugh have been forever lodged in my memory. I am so very sorry for your loss and am sending warmest thoughts and sympathy to you as you grieve your beloved son, brother, husband father, friend and family. Much love, Jane O’Neil Wieder
