I remember Michael well from St. Cajetan. He was in my son's class. He was so cute and I really liked him. We moved to another parish and lost touch but I still remember him in the classroom and at Cubs Scouts like it was yesterday. I am filled with such sadness for your family. RIP Michael

TONY - we've known each other for a while and I know how you felt towards your son. this was a struggle that no father should have to go through, and a struggle that no son should have to go through. life is not perfect and GOD often hands us tough, often impossible situations that we have to deal with - whether it is to TEST our resolve, resilience, or our commitment to family - we are only human.

Michael is out of misery and you need to try to remember all the good times - time heals all wounds.

thinking about you and family always - Vic Baum
