My deepest condolences to Teresa and family. I knew Michael just a little over 2 years. What a treasure he was - you could feel his calming presence, his insightfulness was captivating. A gentle brightness exuded from him. He was so full of the spirit! So kind and patient, and devoted to his Teresa. He will be deeply missed. Peace and all good Brother Michael as you join Sister Death. 🤎
I would like to give my firm condolences to his family. I was one of those that was able to spend quality time with Monsignor Mike. He was amazing when I had counseling from him. He always made me feel better. I will never forget the kindness and Love he had for the residents of Saint Joseph’s Villa. I Love You, Rest in Peace
Mike is now in Heaven and free from illness and any earthly suffering. We were all glad that he was part of our Franciscan group along with Teresa. We will surely miss him as will his big family of generations.
We are so very sorry to hear of Michael’s passing from this life into the next. Sorry for Teresa and the kids, but pretty sure Michael is rejoicing in the arms of Jesus. Love and prayers.
In Loving Memory
