Dear Uncle Michael,

I still can't believe this is real. I think about you all the time, how great of a person you are a smart, loving would do anything for anyone kind of person.

I remember when I was younger how much time I would spend with Jennifer and Nicole and Aunt Laura. You guys always welcomed me and I loved spending as much time as I could there.

Thank you for being you and I love you, you are forever in my heart. I will see you again one day.

Mike was always more than a step-father to me. He was a dad, he always helped Gina,Anthony,and I all he could. He was dearly loved by many.He over achieved and was the best man I had ever met. He will forever be in all of our hearts.. Nothing was unfixable for Mike. He was so smart and always knew what to say to keep the peace. He is at peace now and I know that Nicole, Jennifer, Anthony, and Gina will always have a guardian angel watching over them. We will meet again someday in a place more beautiful than words can explain. Everyday he will be thought of, and carried in our hearts. I love you Mike always and forever

Michael My Dear, Dear Brother-in law. How does one put into words how broken hearted we are all ?? You ARE a GREAT Daddy and a wonderful grandpa. What a shame that something this tragic has brought ALL OF US together again. I am sure that you were smiling down on us Saturday and rejoicing seeing we will once again be family. How I wish you were here to enjoy it with us.
As the days and weeks pass, and we all TRY to return to life's routine, may you know that we will ALL forever be thinking of you. When the sun shines or a new flower blooms I will stop and think of you !! Now Dad,Nanee,Aunt Helen,and Uncle Joe have another angel with them and we know that they are taking good care of you !! Please remember that WE LOVE YOU !!
Hugs to you forever......Mary Jane, Tom, Megan,Michelle,Tommy and Gracie
PS....Gracie just asked if you would said hello to her Papa Moe?? I told her you would.

Mike was a wonderful person. Always willing to help others and so kind. I worked with him at Gonnella and I am better for having met him. He was so proud of his children and grandchildren and always spoke so proudly of them. They were his life. God Bless.
