My condolences especially to Diana, Brendan and Leigh in these
trying times. Remember the great memories and try to carry on the way “tinsel town” would want you to. My prayers are with you and the entire family. R.I.P. Mike – we all love you.
I have such fond memories of you, Michael especially when we were kids and your Dad would say “I’ll give anyone a quarter to get up and dance and sing”; you and I would immediately jump up and do it! We all played cards and you told stories…you still owe me 33 cents! After you became a police officer and when there was a time at your parents home, I loved going to the kitchen door and listen to all your stories. You were so smart and I was so proud of your accomplishments in your career. I’ll miss you truly. May you rest in peace; God bless you and your family. Love, cousin Mary Patricia
