Dear Family
So sorry to hear about Mike. that was me in the Communion Dress with Mike. The last time I saw Mike was when his Father passed away. Though we never saw eachother Mike had a place in my heart since we were first friends. We ran the gangways and climbed around the back porches together. We did the bike Parade. I think he had a little trickster side to him. He laughed much.
He will always be with you.

Gerri and Family - I am so sorry for your loss. I have known Michael forever although I haven't seen him in years. He was at all the parties at my mom's house in Desplaines. I will never forget when the guys tried to throw Mike into the swimming pool, but he held on to the chair he was sitting in and never let go, so they threw him in chair and all! He was so much fun; he was the nicest guy in the world. I will always have fond memories of Mike.
Mike and I were the godparents to my sister's son Joey back in 1973. My deepest sympathy to you for your loss. I will never understand why God takes the good ones so soon. I know he is in heaven now.
