Uncle Mike,
When my mom told me that you had passed the first memory that came to mind was when you found out that I had been accepted to Boston College. You were so proud of me and so excited that I was going to a Jesuit school. Previously, we had discussed our thoughts on God and religion, and I was fortunate enough for those conversations to continue as I went through school and grew up.
You were always so sweet, caring, and thoughtful. You have a family who loves and appreciates every moment and every memory you have given them. And I know that you loved and appreciated your family in return.
Thank you for being a wonderful man who your family could be truly proud of. You always were a man of God and your entrance into His home is part of the special plan He has for all of us.
We love you and will greatly miss you. Love always,
Bria, Grace, Bob, Chris, April, Bobby, Judy, Arwen and Penny
And a quote from a favorite poem of mine by W.H. Auden:
The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
Love you Uncle Mike
