Daddy,
I miss you sooo much you have no idea, there isn''t a day that goes by that i dont think of you, you have always been there for me, Hayley, and Tiffany, you are my bestfriend and always will be. You are the reason i keep going. all the laughs we had the girls adored you and no one will ever take your place. You are my idol you never put yourself first. myself, Jason, Shane, Michael, Hayley and Tiffany were always first in your eyes you always taught us that nothing is more important than family, I know that mom will always have a place in her heart for you and nana will always love you like a son. We all had great times the trips,holiday and the laughs. I know you are at peace now instead of being in pain, I just wish u didn''t have to leave us so soon!I am just glad we always said I Love you before we hung up the phone, or before we departed eachother, so i know you know how i felt, some people have regrets about not being able to tell the person they loved how they felt before they passed on, i am just glad i dont have those regrets, we had the best father-daughter relationship and no one can ever take that from us. I dont know what to do without you , you would always give me the best advice that you could and everytime i need advice you are not here physically but i know you are here spiritually and i know i can still talk to u i just wish i could hug you again. i know that i will see you again soon. Please do me a favor and watch over Hayley and Tiffany. I will always love you now and forever! Rest in Peace daddy, love you. None of us will ever forget you!!
Love always Krystal(krizz1382@yahoo.com)

Michael I am glad you are at peace now. You will be able to join your Mother Nonnie,Nonnie Pizza,and Grandfather.We were married for 20 years so we always had that special bond.We had a wonderful son together whom dearly loved you. And you loved him.I know you wanted to see him more. But certain things got in the way.I am glad I got to say goodbye to you.And thank God Shane made it in time from Florida to say goodbye.We had a lot of great times and memories and we played alot of practical jokes to family and friends. Boy did we laugh!No one can ever take that away.The pictures showed the love that was always there.You were like a son to my mother and father.Shane was never so happy when he seen your face as he graduated in May 2007.I promised you he will be okay and Shane will go on to medical school as planned.I know you will always look over Shane,Krystal,Jason,Michael.Hayley,Tiffany,and of course me.If I only knew you were going to be sick I would have not moved to Florida. You wanted us to stay.Well honey we only got married 2 times for a reason.We fought like cats and dogs but always made up. And it was great.The laughs we had shared will always be there forever .My mother was so happy to see you when you went to visit her before you came to Florida.Rest in peace. I wish you were here longer.But I believe God has a plan for everyone.We will always Love You.God Bless Brenda,Shane,Krystal,Hayley,Tiffany,and MaMa Natty

My dearest Michael
I made it just in time to see you for the last time.There will be no more pain and suffering I prayed by your bedside.I wish there was something I could have done for you to make you well.You are at peace with God now.I will always love you and you will be remembered in my prayers.I will help Shane though this the best I can.It is so sad that Shane lost his dad at 17 years old.He will grow to be a fine man.I know Shane will be as caring as the medical staff that took great care of you at the Brighams.Love now always and forever Love Natty Carroll

It is a sad day when u hear about a friend like mike's passing. My mother and i knew mike and brenda before they even got married, to say they got married twice, this is how we knew they loved each other very much. they had a beautiful son together, that grew up to be a good man, they also loved there grandchildren very much. we will miss him alot.

Words don't say enough for the way we feel about you and your family Michael. You always seemed to be there to help my mom out when she needed it the most. Your mom was my mom's best friend and still sees your dad every now and then. She loves all of your brothers and sister like they were her own, but she had a soft spot for you Michael.We'll always remember your warm smile and laugh. My mom would bragg about you, and always remembers you saying "Don't worry about it Annie, I'll take care of it." I got to meet your son a few years ago...Mike you should be so proud...A perfect gentlemen. Rest in peace my friend...Anthony, Jimmy and most lovingly Annie Celata

Dear Michael and Jason,
We are all very sorry about your father's passing. Although we have not seen him for a very long time, our family has many nice memories of Mike both on a personal and professional level. My Mom and Dad both thought highly of Mike and commented on how much of a worker he was. We are sure you will miss him very much, but take comfort in knowing that he is free from pain and will watch over you both from Heaven with his Mom And our Dad. We will keep Mike in our prayers.
In Sympathy and Love,
Mrs. Sullivan, Maryelise, Jim & Anne Valentine

Mike was a man who would do for everyone else and put himself last. Not alot of people would do that. he wouldn't think twice about helping someone he would just do as much as he could and more. He was loved by many and always will be remembered. To his wife lisa i know and so do others that YOU are the one who stood by his side no matter how hard it got when mike started gettin sick even before then. You were mikes angel when he needed one the most. everything you did for him only people can wish they had. I appreciate the way you loved him and cherished the man that he was. my apologies go out to you completely!! and i am also truely sorry to his sons jason and michael. It is not easy accepting the loss of someone. especially the person who taught you how to love and taught you how to be a man. MIke will never be forgotten.

Brenda & Shane,

Sorry to hear the loss of your loving husband and father, he was a good man. Just know that God has a plan for everyone and it was just his time to go, He took Michael to a much better place where he will no longer be in any pain, and will be able watch over Shane as he grows up. I know he is happy and very proud knowing he raised a wonderful son like you Shane. Brenda I always enjoyed hearing the stories and jokes you and Michael used to pull on each other, family and your friends, and I know he enjoyed the time you two spent together, and had lived a full life, and thats all anyone can ask for. So sorry to hear about your loss.

Love Gary & Melissa Eckman.

Dear Mike, There are no real words to describe such LOSS, Like a son, friend, and there will be such a void in my heart, if it not for the memories of the close family we all became years ago. From the moment my daughter introduced you, I knew there was true warmth in your eyes, MAY YOU REST IN PEACE.
