God saw Michael was getting tired, and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around him, and whispered "Come with me" With tearful eyes we watched him suffer. And saw him fade away, although we loved him dearly we couldn't make him stay. A golden heart stop beating. Hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, he only takes the best! We love and will miss you, until we meet again, Friend, love, father, grandfather, uncle and cousin. To many! Forever missed and loved, but never forgotten!

I think back on 35 years of memories. Words can not express my sadness, Dino. We remained friends through your life, thank you for the special memories, our two beautiful children. Thank you for always making me feel ok with who I am! You always made me feel special even when I didn't beleive it myself. You're free of physical pain now. I will love you always and carry you in my heart. A first love is always special.
