Michael, We loved your mother and will always feel blessed that we were fortunate to have known your mother and father. She always told me how wonderful you were to her and she couldn't have asked for a better son. She was so proud of you! God Bless You for always remaining so close and being there for her.

Mike, I had the honor of working with Walt at Elm Street Development who was truly a wonderful man and one with a beautiful spirit. I had the chance to meet and talk with your Mom and found her to be as wonderful as Walt. She has won her battle and is now resting in the arms of Jesus. Please know that you and your family are in my prayers.

Mike,
Our two families, along with mutual friends, shared a lot of love and laughter for many years together and I shall always treasure the many wild and wonderful memories.
Your Mom was always a classy lady, however, she could be quite the fireball at times (which always made me laugh listening to her!!) You have always been a great son to your parents and they were extremely proud of you. I will miss her deeply, she was like a second mother to me.
Love and Sympathy, Kathy

Dear Michael,

It is with a heavy heart that we express our most sincere sympathy to you. Your Mom was a terrific lady, an awesome Mom, and a great friend. We always, always enjoyed being in your Mom's company - it was guaranteed to be a fun day. A visit never went with out a conversation about her Michael whether you were next to her or out and about - Alice was extremely proud of you, Michael!!!

Oh Michael, words just seem so inadequate now... We wish we could be there, but may the love of family and friends that surround you, help you through this journey.
