Dear Wayne and Judy, There are no words to express our sorrow. We loved having Michael as our East Coast son. I know Michael is sitting in heaven right now thanking God for the wonderful parents he had on earth. You gave Michael the best care any parent could give their child. What love and devotion he had from you. You are an example to parents everywhere. We hope someday soon you will come for a visit and get to know your West coast grandchildren. With Love, Mary and Mike

Dear Judy and Wayne and Catherine, There are no words to express how we are feeling. Michael has been such an important part of all of our lives for so many years. His loss will leave a void in all of our lives, but his zest for life and his fight to survive whatever life dealt him will be a life lesson we will continue to live by. He couldn't ask for a more caring family. Your thoughtfulness and concern for the feeling of others was certainly reflected in the way Michael lived his life. You continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. We love you. Ellen, John and family

I went to Bradford College with Mike. His smile, warmth, and sense of humor were so memorable. He contributed so much joy to the student body. I have thought of him often since graduating. My thoughts are with his family.

Judy and Wayne - Michael worked for me at Bradford College, and also became my friend. I lost touch with him, but I never forgot him. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Michael was an inspiration to everyone who met him. My heart goes out to you.

Phil, Judy, and Catherine We sit here speechless trying to write something from our hearts but cannot find the words. We cannot even fathom the hole and hurt that Michael's passing has left in yours. He was such a gift from God and an inspiration to everyone he met. What a wonderful family full of love you are. We hugged our boy tighter today in memory of the joy your son brought to you and for the pain that we can't imagine loosing him has caused as well. All our love and friendship in this time of sorrow. Ronald, Lisa and Parker Webb

Dear Uncle Wayne, Aunt Judy and Mrs. Sheridan, Michael could light up any room with his laughter and sense of humor. He was so kind and had such a gentle way about him. I will miss him very much. I am sending you all of my thoughts and prayers. Nancy

Dear Wayne and Judy, Please accept our deepest sympathy on your great loss. Michael couldn't have been blessed by more loving parents and you were SO blessed to have been given a most loving and giving child. We will always remember his smile and happy effervescence at our wonderful Seawood. Life was just amazing at that time, wasn't it. We are grateful to have known you and Michael, who was such a shining example of someone living life to the fullest despite his disability. Prayers that your hearts will be restored to wholeness by our Lord's saving grace. And remember that Michael is truly just a thought away. Notice signs of his love for you. He will help you through this most difficult time; just ask. God Bless you with His Peace. Most sincerely, Mike and Ada Pezzetti and family

Dear Wayne, Judy and Catherine, My only interaction with Michael was when he attended my fathers funeral seven years ago. Although I did not know Michael, our families lives have been entwined for over six decades. A loss in one is a loss in both. My prayers and thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Barbara

My heart goes out to all of you. I spent many years with mike in troop 33. I specifically remember Mikes enthusiam with everything that he did. He especailly enjoyed summer camp with us, though I hadn't spoken with him in probably 20 years now he is one of those people that touched my life in such a way that a still thought of him from time to time. After 20 years I think that says a lot. I wish I could be there with you but my currrent assignment prevents me from it.

My deepest condolences to Michael's family. We worked together in the post office at Bradford College for 3 years. He always made me smile - such a kind and friendly guy. I am sorry for your loss.

I only know of Michael through his uncle, Phil Pouliot. He would tell me of his progress over the years. Many times, it would be very sad to hear of what Michael would be dealing with but Michael was a miracle who beat so many odds. I wish I could face life as well as he did. Phil talked of him in such a personal way that I felt like I knew Michael. I want the family to know that Michael touched more lives than they could ever imagine. He touched me from afar as I am sure his story did for many others. My deepest sympathy for your loss. May the wonderful memories he engraved in your hearts and minds help to ease the pain.

I will always remember Michael under the tree, listening to the Red Sox games and sneaking in a few Yankee stats for me. He will be greatly missed at Yellowstone Park, by many people, who highly respected him and his zest for life. Always a smile and never a complaint, that was his philosophy of life. Plain and simple. We had a lot of talks under that tree and I learned a lot from Michael. I didn't realize how much until now; but I have all those good memories and all those good times under that pine tree in Maine.

I just found out about Michael. I am so sorry for your loss. Mike was always a smiling face and wonderful friend to have while at Bradford. I am sorry that we lost touch. Please know that you are in my thought and prayers.

To Judy and Family~ I am very sorry for your loss. I was unaware of both the loss and his last battle with Cancer. I am deeply moved and sorry for the passing of Michael. As a student at Bradford, knowing both his mom, Judy and Michael, I was always appreciative of both their courage in facing what lies before them and their smiles. How can one forget their smiles. Michael has a smile that leaves a lasting imprint upon one's memory. My apologies for your loss yet I am thankful to know both. I am unable to attend the memorial service and pleased to see that is will be held on the campus of a place so dear and meaningful to Michael. Thank you Michael for being such a perfect example of human courage and showing that no matter what lies ahead or within, one much move forward in the name of human dignity. Thank you for being such a powerful example of human love. Tom Ellis '89
