My condolences and prayers to all your family on this loss.
Our family is praying for you Marlene, Melissa and Michelle as you grieve your beloved husband and father. I know Uncle Mike was a wonderful man like my father, his brother (Anthony). We also are praying for all the extended family to have peace as you go through this difficult loss. ” For in grief nothing “stays put.” One keeps on emerging from a phase, but it always recurs. Round and round. Everything repeats. Am I going in circles, or dare I hope I am on a spiral? But if a spiral, am I going up or down it? How often — will it be for always? — how often will the vast emptiness astonish me like a complete novelty and make me say, “I never realized my loss till this moment”? The same leg is cut off time after time.” This is a C.S. Lewis Quote that I hope you find helpful. Love and prayers
My deepest sympathies to you all. He was a wonderful man. I have a lot of good memories of him and how much he loved his family. Hugs to you Michelle and Melissa.
My prayers and thoughts go out to Uncle Mike and Aunt Marlene and Family. Uncle Mike we will miss you!
My prayers to Mike and family. Last I seen Mike we were hauling turkeys for Melrose produce in the early 60s..He was well respected and a better person would be hard to fine .
