Mikey & Maria, Jen & I send our deepest condolences on your loss. We never had a chance to meet your mom, but she must have been a wonderful person to have raised such a great son. I hope you find comfort in your memories, and each other.
Mike and Maria so sorry to hear about your loss. Best wishes for you guys to deal with this.
Maria and Mikey, you are both in my prayers. I know your mom’s spirit lives on in all that you do. Sending lots of love and hugs your way.
Mike and Maria,
Vanessa and I send our deepest condolences you and your family at this time on your loss of Carolyn. May you find inner strength and peace from the love and support of friends and family at this time of loss.
Mike and Maria, so sad to hear about your loss. Sending you Christina’s and my codependences to you and the family. May God give you strength during this time.
Michael, this is John Lawrence. I am shocked to have just learned of your mother’s passing and I am very saddened by it. Both of your parents were great friends to me and I had a long relationship with them. They were very kind and caring individuals. I am so sorry that she has passed. I cannot watch an NFL game without thinking of them as I was very fortunate to spend many enjoyable and relaxing Sundays watching games with them while enjoying your mother’s outstanding chili. I simply do not have the words to express my sorrow but pray that God is with you and Maria. Michele, your life is a compliment to them and their spirit lives in you. I am in Indiana now having a medical procedure and cannot make it back for the funeral. I am sorry. But, I will be there in spirit and prayer for you and your wife. I am always here if you need me. It would be an honor to help you if you wish it. May God bless you and your mother.
Mike—so sorry to hear this. All my best to you from Rhode Island.
sorry to hear this news. Carol was my only cousin on my mom’s side of the family and we spent many nights together growing up. I was in her wedding and we did visit a few times in Ohio but she never made it to Michigan after I moved. I hope you will call me when you get time 734-552-0311
Sorry I can’t be there for the funeral but I am living in Florida right now
