I just saw Mike at Mary Keane's wake a couple of months ago. I wish we could have talked longer, but he had to leave.
My prayers go out to Jim & the rest of the family. We went back a long way. He will be missed.

Rebecca and Brian went to school together back in Early Childhood. We are so shocked and saddened to hear of your loss. We just saw Mike about 2 weeks ago at the library. We spoke to him briefly, as he said he was on his way to school to pick up the boys. We're so sorry we missed the service. Since we've experienced a sudden and tragic loss, when my husband/ children's father died suddenly years ago, your loss deeply touches our hearts. Know that time will eventually heal and that Mike will remain forever in your hearts. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
