Ahh, Mike. I think about you everyday, and I relive the laughs and stories we shared. And I relive the day you left. You and me reminisced alot together about others, now I do it with others about you. Lot of our music is still hard to listen to, and it's strange that your not here. If all your theories pan out, I will get to see ya again and talk.

MY BROTHER!


Really gonna miss you
It's really gonna be different without you
Time is gonna be hard and slow
For the rest of my life
Gonna be thinking about you
(Yes, I am)
Time came when you had to go

I'll miss you my brother
I'll miss you my friend
I promise my love for you will never end

In your finest hour, I was there with you
And without you things won't be the same
But there's a higher power that we answer to
And you heard Him calling your name

Really gonna miss you
Everything about you, your smiling face
I know you want us all to be strong

Really gonna miss you
I know you're going to that magic place
Singing you a brand new song

I'll miss you my Bother
I'll miss you my friend
I promise my love for you will never end

Really gonna miss You

My Dear Brother ! ! ! ! ! ! !

The day is almost here that we officially say goodbye...it's been almost 2 weeks and it still didn't sink in. I'm waiting for my phone to ring and for you ramble on about who knows what lol. I'm gonna miss hearing "how's my little witch" & "how's my little maniac butter" I give you a lot of credit though....my grandmom died over 20 years ago....As young as you were you could have moved on and left us behind. .but you never turned your back on us. You never thought twice about it...you were the o my grandfather I ever really had and I'm lucky for that. So I wanted to say that I love you....

Mike, I will never forget you. You had a style all of your own. I can hear you getting the kids laughing so hard, they get the hic-ups that lasted forever. Playing poker won't be the same without you their having us laughing our butts off. Thank you for being there for me, Love you... R.I.P. Brother......

Pop pop you were an amazing man. I regret that we only spoke around the holidays but when we spoke you never seemed to hold a grudge. You always seemed so happy and cheerful when we spoke. You loved me and my family dearly. I'm sorry I didn't give you a chance to meet my children but we speak of you often. They know what a wonderful grandfather you are to me and how loving you are. I'm sorry I missedmy chance to say good bye but knowing you you probably wouldn't hold a grudge. I love you very much. Always have and always will. I miss you very much.

Mike, you will be sorely missed by everyone. You were not only married to my my mother Patricia Celli, but she was the love of your life and you lost her way to soon. Marrying my mother brought you into the family giving you 4 step-children, Danielle McFadden, Dominic Celli, James Celli and Patricia Celli who then gave you many grandchildren that you loved instantly. Everyone in this family will miss you dearly. Rest in Peace

Uncle Mike, I will always remember your sense of humor, your wit, your theories on evolution, your book recommendations, your stories of you and your buddies from 2 street hangin on the corner...and the funny stuff you did, some intentional, some unintentional lol...I miss your voice, your pain-in-the-ass phone calls for me to run to Wawa lol...and even your smell.

"Hey with" "hugs to the little maniacs" "how's my little guys" or my favorite. ..When I would drive him to the store he'd say "I still can't believe my little jenn is driving" (10+ years later lol) I remember you telling me the gates of hell were real and if I leaned on them I'd fall in lol. You were the coolest "grandfather" EVER! I was so lucky to have you and so were my kids. I appreciate all the time you took to teach me things...for our museum trips...our trips to get water ice. .even when I spilled it alllllllll over your seat (root beer water ice lol) and thank you for loving my grandmom the way you did. ...even the past 20+ years. We sent some balloons up to heaven for you with special messages. ..Ayden said he knows you got them and loved them lol. I just hope you are happy and finally at peace. I love you and will miss you terribly!
