Mike was a good friend for a long time. Through good and bad…we had many experiences which allowed us to grow as individuals and friends. Although we have not been in touch as of late, losing his smile and laugh is devastating. His presence was golden and will be missed.

My dear sister, Lillian–  I remember so clearly the day Michael was born— and then, time flew by.  From a kind, gentle, inquisitive little boy into a caring, strong, and determined young man. His spirit lives on in your memories and in the eternal bond you share as mother and son. He is at peace, and in the safest of places… your heart. 
He is missed.
Love, Kathleen
