He left on us Christmas Day--1995 to join the Lord. But his three years in our parish were filled with joy and laughter. He wormed his way into all of our lives. The Church was filled every weekend in hopes of celebrating with that young priest who made us all feel God’s love. He touched my life at a very hard time. He made me see the world a new way---the way of God’s love and joy. He broke our hearts by leaving this world. But not a day goes by when I don’t remember his laugh, his silliness, and his promise that God loves me.

Fr. Mike---I will meet you again some day soon. And thank you over and over for being in my life. Love ya--your friend
