Dear Monica and children,

I can't tell you how sorry we are for the passing of Michael!!!

He was a good friend and mentor and his presence will be missed greatly!!!

If there is anything we can do, please don't hesitate to ask!!!

I'm sorry we were not able to attend his funeral, we have been in Myrtle Beach for two months and received the news here...

We should be home this coming Saturday and I will call you when I get home.

Our most sincere condolences and our thoughts and prayers are with you!!!

Love,

Ana & Mike Valentine

What a sweet man. I remember him fondly from St Roberts in Freehold as a kid and briefly as my neighbor in Bradley Beach. He had a warm smile and always made you feel like you were special. Going to church was more fun when he was in attendance. My deepest sympathies to his family as I am sure he will be deeply missed.

Monica and Family,

Our deepest condolences are with all of you. Mike was loved by many. May our thoughts, prayers and support give you strength through this difficult time.

Love,

Bob, Lorraine,Melissa and Amanda Riker

Monica, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. Remembering Mike with joy and all the good times at St. Robert's.....

I have many fond memories of him at SJV.

Monica & Family,

Mike was a good-humored, kind and a beautiful person and his untimely loss has brought the utmost grief for all who’s lives he touched. He has made an everlasting mark in the direction my life is taking with the Lord as I’m sure he has made with so many others. I hope you, your family, and the entire parish of Saint Monica’s has all the support and strength to bear this tremendous loss. Caroline and I offer our prayers and deepest condolence wishes. We pray to Lord to give you and your family some peace and comfort in these rough times.

Dear Monica,

I am sorry to hear about Michael's death. I was happy to know him during his years at Saint John Vianney. Michael always had a smile on his face. He was a very compassionate and caring person. SJV was blessed to have him as a member of our school family who shared his deep love of the faith with all of us, students and faculty as well. Thank you for sharing him with us.

Sister Bernadette

You were always there for us and you will be greatly missed. We are deeply saddened by this and we pray for strength and guidance, especially for your family, now and always. I know God took "a liking to you" and you are now at peace, but I truly wish God would have reconsidered this decision. You will always be remembered as wearing a smiling face and singing so beautifully. May you rest in peace.

Love you,

Theresa, Wayne, and Shannon

I am so sorry for what you must be going through losing your husband, father, and grandfather. Deacon Mike was a very special person. When I first began attending St. Monica, he welcomed me with a warm smile, beautiful laugh, and welcoming voice. He loved to talk about his children and grandchildren, something we both had in common. He never failed to ask about my daughter who he taught over 17 years ago at SJV High School. Deacon Michael touched so many lives. He. will be missed by all but I know he will never be forgotten. Sadly, Angela Joven

My deepest condolences to the family and friends of Michael. Very soon Jesus Christ will resurrect the loved ones we have lost in death back to life Acts 24:15; John 5: 28,29, right here on a brand new Paradise Earth no more sickness pain or death Life Without End Revelation 21:1-5.
