Dear Marlene,

Words have not come easily to me since I learned of Mike's illness and now they are even more difficult to find since he has passed. Years have gone so quickly since we all first met and I will never forget the "Spunky" summer that I got to spend working in the office at Soderlund Brothers, Inc. with both you and Mike. We have all come such a long way. What a beautiful family that you and Mike have made! May God comfort you, Rory, and Michael in the difficult days ahead. May your memories of better days sustain you. We are here if you need anything.

Love,

Sharon (Sue's little sister) and family

Dearest Marlene, Rory and Michael,

I wish I had some magic to mend

your broken hearts.



Please accept my heartfelt prayers

and deepest sympathy.



Mike Sheahan, was one terrific Irish

men. He had a heart as big as his

body.



Mike attended my sister's funeral

Mass on Oct. 6th, 2003 and little

did I know that when I left him

on the steps of St, Luke's Church,

that the Lord would be calling him

home 3 months later. We are blessed

to have our angels in heaven watching over us.



May the beautiful memories of Mike

comfort all of you...Mike would not

want it any other way.



May God bless Mike and I know the

Lord will hold him in the palm of

his hand, until we all meet again.



Love,

Peggy Mulcahy

Dearest Marlene, Rory and Michael,

I am so deeply saddened about the

loss of Mike. He was such a tremendous guy and wil be missed so

deeply by so many. I feel so bad I am not able to be there in person to

share our loss with you at the services. But my doctor's said it

could be detrimental to my recovery

from head surgery this month...as

this has affectd me very deeply.

My heart is there with all of you as

I am truly there in spirit.

All my love and affection...

Your Uncle Buckethead (literally)

Dear Marlene, Rory, and Micheal,

We are very sorry to hear about Mike. Mike was one of those people we were always glad to see. We will always remember the fun times at the Cross Keys functions, waiting for the girls during step class, and of course the South Side parade. We will pray that the beautiful memories of Mike will help you get through the difficult times ahead. Our love and prayers are with you all now. Love Bill, Ann, Margaret, Jack, Katie, and Bridget McGann.

I have not been in touch with the Quinn's in recent years so I am shocked to learn that Mike died. He was a great guy and a giant. His death is a huge loss. My sincere condolences and heartfelt prayer for his good soul and for the comfort of Marlene and the entire family.
