To Mikes Family:
I am a nephew of Mikes friend Helen Casey. He often joined my Aunt Helen for my kids graduations and events etc.. in our home in Homer Glen. For the short time we knew him he we could tell he was a good man for all that he touched.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you, God Bless Michael, we will miss you!!

To the family of Michael Pope--
I am also a volunteer at PCH and have known Michael for the past 5+ years. I would always complement him on his ties which were always appropriate for the season or the occasion. He was always very pleasant when we would meet in the halls. I also was a patient in 4A about 3 years ago and he would always come in to see how I was doing and if I needed anything. I will miss him as a dear friend.

Dear Susan and Penney, I always enjoyed your dad, as he was our "very own" volunteer on our unit. He always had a kind word and a smile for everyone. I will miss comparing our "Italian" traditions with your dad. Know that you and your families are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Michael, rest in peace!

Dear Michael's Family,
I work at Palos Community Hospital and enjoyed Michael's company on the nursing unit. He always said "Good Morning" to me every day, and didn't mind too much that I'm a St. Louis Cardinals baseball fan! :)
My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time.
